Senior design project
Engineering design has become a critical element of the undergraduate engineering curriculum. To become accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) requires that at least 24 credits of design content be included in the four-year undergraduate engineering curriculum. Senior design is the principal course in which students apply their knowledge in several disciplines to one project assignment and is a significant ste…
Rulers without subjects
It has been a trend for some years in Asian historiography to show that colonial regimes were not always terribly inventive or creative but in fact were often constructed on the foundations of previously existing, indigenous regimes. Thus, the European powers often unintentionally ended up imitating local, usually obscured, patterns of political or economic organization. As a result, they often helped preserve and maintain certain traditional ins…

Post-Minoan Terracottas from Knossos
With one exception (no. 36) these terracottas all come from excavations in the neighbourhood of the Royal Road conducted between 1957 and 1961. They are a mixed lot, and the stratigraphy, although carefully observed, is seldom very helpful. They range from the Geometric to the Roman period. Apart from a few correspondences with pieces from the Demeter Sanctuary on Gypsades at Knossos, these figurines find few parallels in Crete or elsewhere, and …
Early Greek Jewellery
For a number of reasons the time seems ripe for a fresh appraisal of the jewellery of the Early Iron Age in Greece, between 1100 and 700 B.C. It is perhaps worth recalling, as a preliminary, the superlative excellence of Mycenaean jewellery, in which the arts of filigree, granulation, inlay, enamelling, and repoussé-work were carried to perfection. When the Mycenaean world finally collapsed about 1100 B.C. after a century of turmoil, it left a ve…
The Façade of the Treasury of Atreus at Mycenae
A53 ( red ) from Mycenae is identical with two of the Kyprianon samples (Ky 3 and 4) and differs from two others (Ky 6 and 7) only in the composition of one accessory mineral, viz. the feldspar. These are all typical rosso antico marbles. A51 ( grey-green ) is not exactly matched either in texture or by accessory minerals with any single sample from Kyprianon, but all its accessories, and approximations to its structural characters, are found amo…

Recent Acquisitions by the British Museum
The acquisitions by the Department of Greek and Roman Antiquities for the period between the beginning of 1960 and February I963 were discussed in AR 1962-63 52 if. Here the more important aquisitions made between March 1963 and the end of 1966 are briefly described. Some have been, and others will be, published in the British Museum Quarterly (BMQ). I. An Attic black-figure 'horse-head' amphora (1964 4-15 I). Fig. x. Ht. 31 cm. This important cl…
Ptolemaic Paintings and Mosaics and the Alexandrian Style
The Aegina Treasure Reconsidered
The Aegina Gold Treasure in the British Museum has always been something of a mystery, because no other ancient jewellery has been found sufficiently like it to give any indication of its date or its fabric. At the time of its first appearance it was generally regarded as Late Mycenaean (i.e. L.H. III). More recently there has been a tendency to put it in the seventh century B.G., and one scholar even sees it as Phoenician. The Greek archaeologis…
