High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Arkalochori (Greek: ) is a modern city on the western edge of the Pediadha plain, west of the Lasithi plateau, in central Crete and the archaeological site of a Minoan sacred cave. The sacred cave was used from the third millennium to ca 1450 BCE, when the natural ceiling collapsed, fortuitously protecting some of the votive deposits there. Located near Partira, the city is 32 km south of Heraklion and, as of the 2001 census, has a population of 10,897 inhabitants. Arkalochori is 3 km south from the recently discovered Minoan palace at the small village of Galatas. G. Rethemiotakis has associated the votive objects of the cave with the Galatas palace. The Arkalochori cave first came to scholarly attention in 1912, when peasants collected 20 kilos of Bronze Age weapons from the cave known locally as "the treasure hole" and sold them for scrap metal in the port town of Candia (Iraklion). The ephor Joseph Hadjidakis, the first explorer of the central cave chamber of three, was rewarded with the discovery of masses of bronze votive weapons, and a silver double axe.
