Poursat states that prestige objects found at the palace at Malia were dated to c. 1700 BC, and that the destruction of the palace occurred c. 1450 BC. As Malia's "agora" was situated in the northern vicinity of the palace, it is presumed that this theatral area was at the peak of its use during this period of time.
