on the west side of the Central Court. This style of platform, not
found in any of the other Minoan palaces, was probably used in

The Paved Terrace
The unique Malia Kernos was found in this terrace. The large circular table with thirty-four small depressions around its circumference and a large circular depression in the centre is thought to have been an offering table used in religious rituals involving first fruits. It is supposed that the visitor, on entry, would be involved in a ritual before formally entering the palace.
