Very interesting. I always assumed the Labyrinth was part of ruins excavated by Evans. I never heard of Minos Kalokairinos but what an appropriate name for the one who found the correct location.

Evans excavated based on the artifacts Kalokairinos found and the rooms (part of the storage magazines) that he opened.
