Dicte and the Temples of Dictaean Zeus
This memorandum, written before 1910 by the late Professor R. C. Bosanquet, seems to have been intended as a historical introduction to the definitive report of the British School's excavations at Praisos and Palaikastro. Some sections have been revised by the Curator of Knossos, Mr. R. W. Hutchinson
A Roman Bronze Patera from Berwickshire, with Notes on Similar Finds in Scotland
A bronze patera (or saucepan) from a private collection is thought to have been found in Whitehill. It has a characteristic spreading foot and the handle is decorated by five punched semi-circles and one circle. It is thought to be of provincial manufacture and of 2nd-century date

Days in Attica
Inscriptions from Praesos
These fragments of inscriptions were found on the Altar-hill at Praesos in the excavation of 1901 and 1904 ( B.S.A. viii. 254–260; x. 115, 247). The two Eteocretan inscriptions and the terracottas and other minor finds were published forthwith. The stones now described are of some interest as indicating that the sanctuary on this hill—Dr. Halbherr's ‘Third Acropolis’— was the place where official records of treaties and other public documents wer…
The Palaikastro Hymn of the Kouretes
The inscribed fragments here published were discovered in the third season of the excavations at Palaikastro. We knew already that a Hellenic temple had stood on the site of the Minoan town. The building itself had been destroyed, but architectural terracottas, bronze shields, and other votive offerings were found near the surface in sufficient numbers to indicate its position, while a bed of ashes fixed that of the altar. The finding among its s…
II.—Excavations at Sparta, 1906
The traveller who approaches Sparta from the north and crosses the Eurotas by the new bridge ( P. 12 ) sees before him a series of low rounded hills which extend across his path in the form of a crescent and hide from his view the modern town. Straight before him the ragged core of the Byzantine fortification wall rises on the crest of the hill, and a bridle-path which climbs the steep slope to the old North Gate of the Byzantine Acropolis ( M. 1…
II.—Excavations at Sparta, 1906
The resemblance of certain of the ivories to some in the Ephesus deposit makes it clear that they came from Asia. Close relations and exchange of gifts between Sparta and Lydia are recorded for the sixth century, and have been claimed for the seventh, the age of Alcman. Long ago Curtius pointed out certain affinities between the Lydian goddess of the Lake, Artemis Gygaea, and the Spartan Orthia. Now that Mr. Hogarth has vindicated the Hellenic ch…
II.—Excavations at Sparta, 1906
The year 1906 was marked by the inception of what seems likely to be the most extensive and productive piece of work yet undertaken by the British School at Athens. We take this opportunity of expressing our thanks to the Hellenic Government and the Ephor-General of Antiquities for the liberality with which permission to undertake the excavation of this important site was accorded to us, and for the constant support given to us in all the stages …
Excavations at Palaikastro. IV
The Temple Area, mentioned several times in these reports, was cleared in the course of our third and fourth seasons. Of the temple itself not a stone was found standing and almost the whole of its materials had been removed, but from fragments of architectural details we may recover some notion of its proportions and decoration. Only one inscription came to light, but that—the Hymn to Dictaean Zeus—is of capital importance, not only as enabling …
Excavations at Palaikastro. IV
The votive offerings, though much scattered and broken are numerous and homogeneous enough to furnish interesting information. The bulk of them belong to the archaic period and testify to the popularity and prosperity of the Dictaean sanctuary from the seventh to the fifth century. The scarcity of later objects is in harmony with the scarcity of architectural remains of the later temple. It is clear that the terracotta decorations and votive offe…
Excavations at Palaikastro. IV
The Hellenic remains scattered in the surface soil or accumulated behind the temenos-wall included quantities of tiles and architectural terracottas belonging to an earlier and to a later period of the sanctuary. Of those which may be assigned to the archaic entablature the most important are the following:— (1) Leg of a crouching or running human figure in high relief, probably from the pediment (Fig. 18). The upper part of the thigh is covered …

Excavations at Palaikastro. II
This Insula is now seen to contain five houses, (i) 1–22, (ii) 23–25, (iii) 28–31, (iv) 26, 27 and 32–39, (v) 40–47. The partial excavation of 1–36 was described in B.S.A. viii. pp. 310–316. Rooms 1–22 —The continued investigation of this house yielded some interesting results. In the courtyard ( 11 ) we uncovered the remains of a verandah, the wooden pillars of which rested on round limestone bases (diam. ·38 m., ht. ·18) distant 1·40 m. from th…
Excavations at Palaikastro. II
We resumed work on March 23, 1903. The headquarters of the expedition were again at Angathia. Mr M. N. Tod, Assistant-Director of the School and Fellow of Oriel College, Oxford, had preceded me, going overland. Mr W. L. H. Duckworth, Fellow of Jesus College, Cambridge, and University Lecturer in Anthropology, and Mr R. McG. Dawkins, Scholar of Emmanuel College, Cambridge, arrived a few days later. Mr C. T. Currelly, of Victoria College, Toronto, …
Excavations at Palaikastro. II
The prehistoric town at Roussolakkos was laid out in regular blocks, each containing several houses. We went on the system of following up the streets and ascertaining the extent of an insula before excavating it. The blocks are named β , γ, δ and so on, and to each room as it is opened up a number is given, the Greek alphabet being used in order to avoid confusion with the letters and numbers by which the squares on the plan are denominated. The…
Excavations at Palaikastro. II
We may divide the life of the town into three principal periods. I. The Kamáres Period. II. The Early Mycenaean Period, ending with the fall of Zakro. III. The Late Mycenaean Period. Of these the first is well defined, thanks to the labours of Dr Mackenzie and of Mr Dawkins, who has treated the sequence of the Kamáres pottery at Palaikastro and the circumstances under which it has been found at some length in his paper on the Pottery. But the lin…
Excavations at Palaikastro. I
Brief reports on the work done by the British School at Palaikastro in April and May 1902 have appeared in the Journal of Hellenic Studies (1902, p. 384) and in Man (1902, No. 119). In the present paper I propose to describe the discoveries made in the cemeteries and in the houses, reserving for a future occasion the discussion of certain problems on which fuller light may be thrown by the excavations of 1903, to be made with larger resources and…
Excavations at Petras
On a low spur of the hills that shut in the Sitia valley on the east, immediately overlooking the sea and separated from the port of Sitia by nearly a mile of sand-bar, stands the unimportant hamlet of Petras, originally Venetian, afterwards ‘Turkish’ or Moslem-Cretan, and for the most part ruined and deserted since 1896. Mr. Marshall came here in January, 1901, and collected sherds which left no doubt about the early date of the remains, treated…
Excavations at Praesos. I
The excavations at Praesos undertaken by the British School in 1901 were begun on May 7th and continued until July 3rd. The Cretan Exploration Fund contributed £200, the Society of Dilettanti £50, and the Prendergast Fund of Cambridge University £40, towards the cost of the campaign. With me were two members of the School, Mr. J. H. Marshall, of King's College, Cambridge, and Mr. R. Douglas Wells, architect. Mr. Wells made a survey of the city-pl…

Notes from the Cyclades
The following notes deal partly with some results of our first season in Melos, partly with Ægean objects in English collections. Mr. Cecil Smith and Mr. Edgar have given me help which I gratefully acknowledge. Incidentally some progress has been made with the task, which Dümmler deemed hopeless, of identifying the scattered contents of the tombs at Phylakopi. Much remains to be done by the comparative study of objects on museum shelves. Still mo…
Prehistoric Graves in Syra
Last May, having to wait for a steamer at Syra, I seized the opportunity and rode out to the prehistoric necropolis on the north-east coast of the island. The distance from the agora of Hermoupolis is only three miles on the map, but nearly an hour and a half by the mule path, which starts from the picturesque upper town and runs along a range of desolate hills, passing on the left a cave which local antiquaries call the cave of Pherekydes

Excavations at Melos—The East Gate
This excavation was undertaken with a view to determining the position of one of the town-gates. Although there are considerable remains of the fortifications, no gate of the ancient town was visible above ground. It was evident that the discovery of the gates, and consequently of the roads, would afford the best clues to internal and external topography. Description of the Site .—Melos, as the map shows, possesses one of the finest natural harbo…
