Nikolaos Platon (GreekΝικόλαος Πλάτων,AnglicisedNicolas Platon;(1909-01-08)8 January 1909 –(1992-03-28)28 March 1992) was a Greekarchaeologist. He discovered theMinoanpalace ofZakros onCrete.^[1]

Platon put forward one of thetwo relative chronologies currently used in Minoan archaeology. It is based on the development of the architectural complexes known as "palaces" atKnossos,Phaistos,Malia, andKato Zakros, and divides the Minoan period into Prepalatial, Protopalatial, Neopalatial, and Post-palatial periods. The other system is based on pottery styles, as suggested byArthur Evans.^[2]
