Archaeology
The Stravomyti Cave first saw use during Neolithic times, as a refuge and burial. During the Early Minoan period, the quality of pottery suggests that people lived in the caves. Thereafter, it was used for storage and worship.
The cave may have once been a shrine to a female deity - Artemis, Diktynna or perhaps Eileithyia.

gollark: Hmm, the most convoluted and reasonably practical way to do this would be to... use my RTL-SDR to listen to Radio 4, but hook it up to my server, run it through some kind of audio compression thing, somehow figure out how to stream the resulting audio over HTTP, then stick that on my website.
gollark: Hmm. I should really listen to these announcements... what's the most convoluted way to do that, I wonder.
gollark: Wait, the UK?! I live there!
