The Late Minoan (LM) IIIC settlement of Chalasmenos is located on a low hill (240 m above sea level) immediately to the south of the Cha Gorge near the village of Monastiraki in eastern Crete. The settlement was relatively large for the period, comprised of an estimated 4,000 m², and provides evidence for a degree of urban planning. The site was divided into four quarters, which were separated by roughly paved pathways, and an open, triangular-shaped area (plateia) occupied the centre of the settlement (a contemporary kiln was also found at the northern end of this open area).

Excavations started in 1992 and lasted until 2014 as a collaboration between the American School of Classical Studies at Athens (ASCSA) and the Hellenic Ministry of Culture, under the direction of Metaxia Tsipopoulou and the late William D.E. Coulson.
