A Sherd from Pelikata, Ithaka
The claim put forward as an opinion ( BSA XLIV (1949), 307) and as a fact ( ibid. 309, fig. 1, 4) that an ‘Early Helladic Patterned’ sherd from Pelikáta is really ‘East Greek’ should be accepted only with considerable reserve. The condition of the sherd is such as to make positive identification either as one or the other impossible, but the context leaves little room for doubt that it is another Early Helladic Patterned sherd of which five other…
Excavations in Ithaca, V The Geometric and Later Finds from Aetos
The circumstances of the discovery of the vases and objects described below by Mr. Robertson were, briefly, as follows:— 1931. In trial pits dug in 1931 (Figs. 2, 4, 6) the foundations of a rough wall (6) resting on virgin soil were found, to the north of which sub-Mycenaean and Protogeometric sherds associated with stones and calcined earth appeared. South of this wall appeared two layers of dark earth, of which the lower (8 a ) rested on virgin…
Excavations in Ithaca, 1930–35
Apart from the rather summary excavation on the summit of Aetós by Gell at the beginning of the nineteenth century, and the opening of some tombs above Pisaetó by Guitara in 1811–14, excavations have been made in Ithaca on three occasions previously to Lord Rennell's expedition. In the course of two visits, one in 1868 and the other in 1878, Schliemann dug trial trenches in the plain at Pólis, at the ‘School of Homer’, at Aetós (both on the saddl…
Excavations in Ithaca, II
Pelikáta hill might best be described as a spur of Mt. Exogé, which lies immediately to the west of it; but it is also joined on the south to the central peak of the island (Mt. Anogé) by a narrow ridge on which stands the main street of Stavrós village. Elsewhere it is detached (Pl. 2), and its sides fall in irregular gradations, broken further by terraces, to Afáles bay on the north, Phríkes bay on the east and Pólis bay on the south. From the …

Excavations in Ithaca, I
The area of the Protogeometric cairns here described was first discovered in 1931, when we opened a trial pit (Fig. 3) which revealed part of a wall (Fig. 4, 6) and behind it what seemed to be a confused mass of stones mixed with black earth, and containing sherds, ranging from a few LH III to Protogeometric. These stones we took to be the remains of a collapsed house. In 1932 the pit was extended, principally to West and North, and though we enc…
Excavations at Sérvia in Western Macedonia
The mound lies on the south bank of the Haliakmon at the point where the modern road from Macedonia to Thessaly crosses the river by an iron bridge built by the Turks in 1912 (figs. 1 and 2). Except for slight traces of occupation in Byzantine and Turkish times the site seems to have been derelict since the early Bronze Age, its strategic equivalent being at one time the fortress (of uncertain date) that crowns the hill immediately north of the b…
The Tholos Tombs of Marmáriane
The Pelasgian plain is bounded on the east by the foothills of Pelion and Ossa, which rise abruptly from the marshy flats. Among these hills, at the head of a secluded valley some twenty km. from Larisa, lies the modern village of Marmáriane. On the northern side of this valley, at a point about twenty minutes' walk below the village, rises a conspicuous table-topped mound, surmounted by a cornfield from which the grassy slopes fall steeply away

Report on Excavations at the Toumba of Saratsé, Macedonia, 1929
In accordance with the plan to explore a representative mound in each area of Central Macedonia, the Toumba of Saratsé was selected as occupying a key position in the group of mounds that lies in the region of Lakes Lankadás and Beshik. Prehistoric finds in this district have so far been represented by the neolithic pottery from above the village of Aïváte (now Léte), which lies at the foot of the hills, by the entrance to the Dervéni Pass, and b…
Prehistoric Macedonia
The excavations so far made in Macedonia are as follows:-In the valleys of the Vardar (Axiós) and Galliko (Echédoros)In the neighbourhood of SalonicaIn the valley of the HaliakmonBoubústi, by the British School at Athens, 1927.In the Lankadá valleySarátsi, by the British School at Athens, 1929.In Chalcidice
Two Prehistoric Sites in Chalcidice
The excavations described in the following report took place in the spring of 1928. Two weeks were spent at each site. The party consisted of the Assistant-Director, Mr. J. D. S. Pendlebury, Mr. C. A. Ralegh Radford, and Miss S. Benton, students of the School. Mrs. Heurtley again very kindly undertook the duties of caterer and cook. At Molyvópyrgo we lived in tents on the sea-shore; at Hágios Mámas we took the upper floor of a house in the villag…
Early Iron Age Pottery from Macedonia
By the term ‘Early Iron Age Pottery from Macedonia’ is here meant pottery of the type found by Casson in the cemetery at Chauchitza, by the French excavators at the Toumba and Table of Sedés, and at the Table of Gona—and which is known from surface-finds in many parts of Macedonia. Much of the pottery from Patelí on Lake Ostrovo seems to belong to this class, but is not yet accessible in any publication
A Prehistoric Site in Western Macedonia and the Dorian Invasion
The geographical configuration of Western Macedonia, resolved into its simplest elements, may be described as consisting of two parallel depressions, running roughly north-west and south-east, and separated from one another by a mountain range, the whole area being itself entirely enclosed by mountains. The eastern of the two depressions has a northern and a southern half. The northern half is the valley of the upper Černa, the southern is compos…
Report on Excavations at the Toumba and Tables of Vardaróftsa, Macedonia, 1925, 1926
The Toumba and Tables of Vardaróftsa lie at the south end of a ridge that separates Lake Amátovo and the Vardár river (Fig. 1), some 35 kilometres N.W. of Salonika (Fig. 2). To south and east the ridge falls gently to the lower levels; more abruptly on the west to the river's edge. Northward, the ridge extends to where the Toumba of Várdino crowns its other extremity, looking down on the flats round Karasouli. Between the Toumba of Vardaróftsa an…
Pottery from Macedonian Mounds
The pottery described below was picked up by Mr. Cuttle and myself on mounds, many of which have been noted by Wace or Rey ( locc. citt. ). We have retained their numbering, so as to avoid confusion. Of the mounds mentioned by Rey, we visited his 2, 3, 4, 5, but not 1, 6, 7, 8. Of those noted and visited by Wace we re-examined A 3, B 8, B 9 and C 9. Of those noted but not visited by him, we visited B 12, B 13, B 15. We could not identify his B 14…
Notes on the Harbours of S. Boeotia, and Sea-trade between Boeotia and Corinth in Prehistoric Times
The following notes were made partly in the course of a voyage taken in a small sailing boat in the late summer of 1922, from Corinth across the gulf, and along the Boeotian coast, during which all the south Boeotian harbours, as well as Voulis in Phokis, were visited, and partly in the course of subsequent visits from the land side. It is hoped that the notes may supplement, if they cannot improve upon, Mr. Gomme's excellent description of this …
VII.—The Lion Gate and Grave Circle Area
The ancient approach to the Lion Gate (Fig. 1) probably began at the north-west angle of the circuit wall, and thence gradually ascended to the gate itself. Thus all possible assailants would have to pass through the fire from the west side of the north-west angle, even before they reached the court-like area directly before the gate. Here they would be faced with a triple fire, from the gate, from the great rectangular bastion (1) which flanks t…
