Gordon Childe at St John's Lodge
Gordon Childe at St John's Lodge
Nancy Sandars was among the first group of students to be taught by Gordon Childe after he left Edinburgh, where he had been the Abercromby Professor of Archaeology, to become the first full-time Director of the Institute of Archaeology in 1946. The Institute was then housed in St John's Lodge in Regent's Park. She recalls those early days with affection, and describes how Childe interacted with his students
The Sea Peoples
North and South at the End of the Mycenaean Age
The end of the Mycenaean age calls for an explanation outside the immediate Aegean area. The evidence is more likely to come from changes in habit than in the importation of objects of bronze or pottery. In order to understand events it is necessary to look beyond Greek frontiers to the Danube and Balkans. Among important changes are those in fighting tactics with a return to the sword in the Aegean and new workshop practice in Europe with more b…
Thirty Seasons at Ras Shamra in Syria
Although book reviews are not normally included in Levant, the arrival of Ugaritica VI, (Paris, 1969) on the Editor's desk indicated that there were times when exceptions should he made to mark special events. Through MissSandars' review of this volume, published in celebration of the thirtieth season of excavations at Ras Shamra, Levant would like to be associated with Professor André Parrot and the other contributors in congratulating Dr. C. F.…
Orient and orientalizing in early celtic art
When in 1944 Jacobsthal laid foundations for the study of early Celtic art, foundations so enduring and so comprehensive that they still extend far beyond the flimsy structures that have shot up since, he invented an 'Orientalizing Celtic Style' as a tardy and barbaric counterpart to 'Greek orientalizing'. Having invented it, he left it, real but largly unexplained; and there it still is, very real and still in need of explanation (Jacobsthal, 19…
Art of the Steppes
Prehistoric Art in Europe
Until around 10,000 BC art in Europe appears to have been in advance of the rest of the world and throws light on the total history of early man. The great masterpieces of cave-painting at Lascaux are well known, and one tradition of early sculpture is from the first surprizingly classical. With the shelter paintings of the Spanish Levant and the clay modelling and painted pottery of eastern Europe in the fourth and third millennia BC fresh artis…

Later Aegean Bronze Swords
The First Aegean Swords and their Ancestry
The bronzes
The Knives. Three complete one-edged knives, and one fragmentary, were found in the tombs. The bronze knive (I. 5 ) belongs to a small group in which the whole of the handle including a T-shaped pommel extension was cast in one piece with the blade, while inset panels of perishable material were secured by rivets and deep flanges in the metal. Apart from this pommel-flange it is similar to a large contemporary group of bronze knives to be found t…
The amber beads
It has long been axiomatic that amber is seldom found in Crete, and it is therefore of some interest to be able to record amber beads in two of the Gypsades tombs, Nos. II and VII. In Mycenaean sites on the mainland of Greece amber beads of different shapes are found in great numbers and so frequently as to appear a fairly constant feature of these sites; certainly as much as faience and rather more so than lapis lazuli, an exotic from Asia. In t…
Inventory of the vases and other Objects from the cemetery
I. 1. Rhyton (Fig. 26, Plate 54 c ). Ht. 0·364. Ht. incl. handle 0·405. Diam. at tip 0·104. Diam. of spout 0·02. Broken but complete; the paint is slightly worn and the rim chipped. The painting is in orange and brown, with linear decoration on the lower part of the cone and interlocking zigzags above. The lip and the outer edges of the handle are outlined. The handle is of the raised metallic type and the lip overhangs slightly; the tip of the s…

The Antiquity of the One-edged Bronze Knife in the Aegean
In the west we are accustomed to walking on bog, we therefore learn to tread light, seeing around us, but just out of reach, the contours of a more solid landscape. We have sequence and relative chronology, but if we tread too heavily, feeling for the subsoil of absolute dates and historical nomenclature, we are apt to flounder, if not to sink. Nevertheless in some places the bog has shrunk exposing solid, rock-like dates, dates that belong to a …
