According to the authors, these results are consistent with the hypothesis the plateau served as a Minoan refugium, and that the current inhabitants of the plateau carry the maternal signature of the Minoan population.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Gallery">Gallery</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Lasithi_Plateau&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Gallery"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="thumb tnone" style="margin-left:auto;margin-right:auto;overflow:hidden;width:auto;max-width:1393px"><div class="thumbinner"><div class="noresize" style="overflow:auto"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:Lasithi-Plateau_2015-09-27.jpg" class="mw-file-description" title="The Plateau seen from the north"><img alt="The Plateau seen from the north (from above Tzermiado)" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/cb/Lasithi-Plateau_2015-09-27.jpg/1385px-Lasithi-Plateau_2015-09-27.jpg" decoding="async" width="1385" height="206" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/cb/Lasithi-Plateau_2015-09-27.jpg/2078px-Lasithi-Plateau_2015-09-27.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/cb/Lasithi-Plateau_2015-09-27.jpg/2770px-Lasithi-Plateau_2015-09-27.jpg 2x" data-file-width="14794" data-file-height="2200" /></a></span></div><div class="thumbcaption"><div class="magnify"><a href="/wiki/File:Lasithi-Plateau_2015-09-27.jpg" title="File:Lasithi-Plateau 2015-09-27.jpg"> </a></div><div class="center" style="width:auto;
