Written and Unwritten Records
Archaeology has, for its own good or ill, caught the popular mind. A generation ago the average person was quite unable to divest his mind of the idea that an archaeologist must have a long white beard, large spectacles and a pathetic enquiring look on his face: it was equally suspected that, when roused, he would burst into a paroxysm of rage if his views were doubted. There was, in fact, a good deal of truth in this popular conception, for in t…
How Homer wrote the Odyssey
More thoroughly silly questions have been asked about Homer than about any other man or topic. Did Homer exist? Was there one Homer or two Homers? Were the Homeric poems composed by a syndicate or by one man? and so on and so on. Only in thoroughly academic minds could such questions generate. Only minds dead to poetry and the modes of its composition would waste themselves on such mental trivialities, on such extravagant fantasies.Of one thing w…
The Cypriot Script of the Bronze Age
IN my small book Ancient Cyprus, published in 1937, I attempted to collect all the known examples of the Bronze Age script of Cyprus. Until I compiled my list it had been assumed that there were only some fifteen signs of the Bronze Age known. These were listed by Evans, first in Scripta Minoa and later, with some trifling rearrangements which did not affect the total, in the Palace of Minos.1 The paucity of this list allowed for no more positive…

Ancient Cyprus
The Modern Pottery Trade in the Aegean
Archaeologists in general and students of ceramics in A particular largely live in an ancient world of their own creation. They have built up the background of the period they study by means of the material objects available to them, and they have filled in the gaps largely by hypothesis, analogy and guesswork. This, after all, is part of the game. They have decided that they have no alternative. Rarely and with caution they draw comparisons betw…
An Unfinished Colossal Statue at Naxos
At the north-west corner of the island of Naxos is a very small hamlet on the shore, which is called Apollonia. It consists of a score of poverty-stricken houses and a small quay, and is inhabited mainly by fishermen. It is a difficult landing in rough weather, and the small bay on which the hamlet stands affords little shelter. On a slight rise about 100 feet above the hamlet, but near to it, is a small marble quarry which is ancient. Not far of…

A Greek Settlement in Thrace
In 1930, during the course of a survey of the coastal region of Eastern Macedonia and its immediate hinterland, I was able to make detailed observations upon a small site which I had previously visited in 1925. Since my first visit the site has been seriously damaged and it has become a matter of some urgency to publish all available material concerning it before the site as a whole has been completely destroyed. Unfortunately the full control of…

VI.— Excavations at the Golden Gate, Constantinople
The excavations described below were carried out conjointly by the Museum of Antiquities at Stamboul and members of the mission excavating on behalf of the British Academy in Constantinople in 1927. The funds required were provided by both parties. The account here given is published by kind permission of Halil Bey, Director of the Museum, at whose request it was drawn up, and who in the first instance proposed to the British Mission that the wor…

Some Greek Seals of the ‘Geometric’ Period
That the art of gem- and seal-cutting persisted in Greece during the long and uncertain period of development that preceded the full flower of archaic Greek art has been acknowledged by the accepted classification of certain stones bearing intaglio designs as ‘geometric’. That such stones are not numerous in European collections is due chiefly to their extreme crudity and lack of artistic charm, which give them little worth in the eyes of collect…
Excavations in Macedonia
The mound of Kilindir (fig. 1) lies about one kilometre south-west of the station of that name on the railway that runs from Salonika to Constantinople via Seres, Dedeagatch and Adrianople. A small stream called Gyol Ayak issues from the south side of Lake Doiran exactly at the modern village at Doiran station. This stream, after passing through nine kilometres of broken and ravined country, issues into more open ground just by the modern Chiflik…

II.— The Bronze Age in Macedonia
In most text-books of archaeology the section dealing with the Bronze Age in the Aegean invariably refers us to the culture of Crete and Mycenae. Under the heading of ‘South-Eastern Europe’ we are usually given an account of the Bronze Age of Hungary and the Danubian area. But between these two regions lies an area which is, as yet, almost entirely uncharted by archaeologists, an area which, from its position, is one of the most important in Sout…

Herodotus and the Caspian
From several passages in Herodotus it is possible to piece together a general description of the Caspian Sea which, apart from its claims to accuracy, is at least comprehensive when judged by the standards of Herodotean geography. The Caspian, says the historian, is a sea by itself without connexion with other seas. Its length is fifteen days' journey in a rowing boat, and its breadth at the broadest part is eight days' journey. Its western shore…
