  • The birth of the Fitch Laboratory

    Open AccessH W CatlingARTICLEThe Annual of the British School…2005

    From 1960 onwards there was collaboration in ceramic analysis of Minoan and Mycenaean material between members of the British School at Athens and the Oxford University Research Laboratory for Archaeology and the History of Art. In 1974 this led to the establishment of the School's own Research Laboratory in Athens, thanks to the generosity of Dr Marc and Mrs Ismene Fitch, whose names the laboratory bears. Reference is made to other help and bene…

  • Knossos: Area of South-west Houses, early Hellenic occupation

    Open AccessH W Catling, J Nicolas Coldstream et al.ARTICLEThe Annual of the British School…1997Cited by: 1References: 2

    In 1992–93 excavations were conducted in central Knossos, among the Minoan houses south-west of the Palace. This article describes the unexpectedly large amount of post-Minoan occupation there, casting new light on the extent to which the Hellenic town encroached upon the allegedly deserted Palace area. One Minoan house, much ruined, proved to have been reoccupied in the tenth century BC and again in the seventh. Nearby, a well-preserved pottery …

  • Minoan Metalworking at Palaikastro: Some questions

    Open AccessH W CatlingARTICLEThe Annual of the British School…1997

    The account of a discovery of metallurgical débris in a LM III context at Palaikastro in BSA 91 (1966), 213–52 is critically considered, with particular reference to the nature of the deposit, the date of its context, and the suggested identification of certain cire-perdue mould fragments as part of the investment mould for a tripod ring-support of Late Cypriot type. Strong doubts are expressed at the correctness of this identification

  • A Mycenaean terracotta figure from the Menelaion

    Open AccessH W CatlingARTICLEThe Annual of the British School…1995References: 2

    An LH III wheelmade terracotta female figurine, found in the 1910 excavations at the Menelaion, Sparta, is illustrated and described. The context can be dated no later than LH III. An earlier suggestion that the piece is ‘provincial’ is discounted in the light of new material, particularly the so-called Lady of Phylakopi. Recent views on the nature of such figures are discounted. A summary list of comparable wheelmade figures of women, and of ani…

  • A Late Cypriot Import in Rhodes

    Open AccessH W CatlingARTICLEThe Annual of the British School…1991Cited by: 1

    Surface discovery in Rhodes in the Mycenaean cemetery at Moschu Vounara of a (Cypriot) White Slip I bowl fragment (now lost) is described. A short general account is given of the distribution of Cypriot goods in Greek lands in the earlier part of the Late Bronze Age

  • A Sanctuary of Zeus Messapeus: Excavations at Aphyssou, Tsakona , 1989

    Open AccessH W CatlingARTICLEThe Annual of the British School…1990

    The excavation is described of a much damaged shrine building five kilometres east-north-east of Sparta, in use from the 7th to the 4th centuries B.C., and again in the 3rd and 4th centuries A.D. Tile stamps suggest it was dedicated to Zeus Messapeus. Finds include many handmade terracotta statuettes, chiefly of grotesque ithyphallic human figures

  • An Early Cypriot III Vase from the Palace at Knossos

    Open AccessH W Catling, J Alexander MacgillivrayARTICLEThe Annual of the British School…1983Cited by: 3References: 3

    Fragments of a vase, now in the Stratigraphical Museum at Knossos, from the excavations of Sir Arthur Evans (south-east Kamares Area, Dove Pit) are identified as Early Cypriot. Cypriot parallels are described from Bellapais, Vounous, and Lapithos. The vase is classed as EC IIIB/MC I, its Minoan context EM III/MM IA. A brief review is given of evidence for Minoan-Cypriot contact at the turn of the third and second millennia B.C

  • Knossos 1978: Roman Finds at the Venezeleion

    Open AccessH W Catling, Cressida Ridley et al.ARTICLEThe Annual of the British School…1982

    During 1978 the British School at Athens was requested by the Herakleion Ephorate to oversee the first stage in the construction of an extension to the Venezeleion Hospital. The extension was to be built on the east side of the existing building, and to be used as a pediatric clinic. The architect wished to begin with the mechanical excavation of a rectangular cutting 23 m north-south, 10 m east-west immediately east of the extant building line. …

  • Barbarian’ Pottery from the Mycenaean Settlement at the Menelaion, Sparta

    Open AccessH W Catling, E A CatlingARTICLEThe Annual of the British School…1981Cited by: 3References: 5

    In 1973, after an interval of many years, the British School at Athens returned to Sparta to resume work in an area with which it had been associated since early in the present century. The site chosen was the Mycenaean settlement at the Menelaion, briefly investigated by R. M. Dawkins in 1910. Full seasons of excavation were completed in each of the years 1973–6, and 1980. A cleaning season was undertaken in 1977, while supplementary excavations…

In that account reference was made (p. 4) to the discovery of other ancient features within the heavily ploughed area. The more important of these finds are br…

    The four authors of this paper have worked in close consultation throughout the project, and present a joint result rather than so many separately initialled sections. Catling has most responsibility for the archaeological matter, Jones for the analytical work, Cherry and Jones for the interpretation of the results of the analyses and Killen for the epigraphic comment. It must be noted that a single series of numbers, 1–108, is used throughout th…
