  • Exports of Attic Protogeometric pottery and their identification by non-analytical means

    Open AccessR W V CatlingARTICLEThe Annual of the British School…1998References: 1

    This paper draws attention to the potential for recognizing exported Attic Protogeometric pottery by macroscopic characteristics of its fabric, whose salient features are described. The utility of these criteria are tested on a group of pottery from Asine in the Argolis whose Attic origin was not recognized in the original publication. A brief survey of the distribution of exported Attic Protogeometric pottery shows it to occur mainly in the sout…

  • Archaic Lakonian architecture

    Open AccessR W V CatlingARTICLEThe Annual of the British School…1995References: 1

    A fragmentary temple model from Sparta, in which the roof and one pediment are preserved, provides new evidence for reconstructing the system of Lakonian roofing. The ridge and Lakonian tiles as well as disc akroteria are modelled in high relief; a painted gorgoneion decorates the surviving pediment. The possibility is discussed that it represents a very small type of temple that may have existed at Sparta. A date in the first half of the 6th cen…

  • A fragment of an archaic temple model from Artemis Orthia, Sparta

    Open AccessR W V CatlingARTICLEThe Annual of the British School…1994References: 1

    A fragment of an archaic temple model from the British School's early excavations at the sanctuary of Artemis Orthia at Sparta is published. It is suggested here that its decoration represents a timber-framed building. Support for this argument is found in the similar construction technique used for the early 7th-cent. temple of Artemis Orthia. Its contribution to the debate concerning the evolution of the developed Doric order is considered. In …

  • Sub-Mycenaean and Protogeometric Vases in the Museum of the British School at Athens

    Open AccessR W V CatlingARTICLEThe Annual of the British School…1990References: 1

    Eleven Sub-Mycenaean and Protogeometric vases from the museum of the British School at Athens are published. Five are treated in Desborough's Protogeometric Pottery but the remainder are presented for the first time. Although none has a reliable provenance, all but one seem to be of Attic origin and were probably found in Athens. The other one comes from the Thessalo-Euboian region, most likely from Euboia itself

  • From Delos to Melos

    Open AccessGuy D R Sanders, R W V CatlingARTICLEThe Annual of the British School…1990References: 2

    An inscribed block of marble re-used as a threshold in the monastery of Agios Sabbas on Melos is shown to be the missing left-hand architrave block from the monument of Mithradates on Delos. In general the text restored by Chapouthier is confirmed, with minor modification, but a new text for the third line of the inscription is added

  • Protogeometric Vases from Amorgos in the Museum of the British School

    Open AccessR W V Catling, R E JonesARTICLEThe Annual of the British School…1989

    Two vases, a cup and an oinochoe, from Arkesine in south-west Amorgos are published for the first time. It is argued that both are probably Middle Protogeometric, one an import from Euboia, the other from the south-east Aegean; chemical analysis supports both attributions. Their implications for the early history of Amorgos are discussed

  • Messapian Zeus

    Open AccessR W V Catling, Graham Shipley et al.ARTICLEThe Annual of the British School…1989References: 4

    Fragments of a large Black-Glazed Cup with part of an incised inscription are published. A date c. 590—570 is suggested. A second, slightly earlier cup from the Menelaion is included. The inscription refers to the cult of Zeus Messapeus attested in the sources. Discussion centres on the location of the cult-place and the origin of the cult. It is suggested that it derives from the region of Messapia in South Italy where the Spartan colony of Tara…
