Extract

I am grateful to the Editors of the Annual and to Professor Droop for allowing me an early opportunity of replying to Professor Droop's criticisms of my attempt to date the Laconian krater from Eleutherna (B.S.A. xxxi, pp. 111 ff.).

I dated the fragments of this krater, on consideration of the history of the shape, to the middle of the sixth century; Professor Droop complains that I did not use evidence obtained by the excavators of the shrine of Artemis Orthia at Sparta and set out in the official publication. Now he admits that the shape was not found at Orthia (and he might have added that it has not been found elsewhere in a stratified deposit); there is not, therefore, any question here, as Professor Droop seems to think, of conflict between ‘the evidence of facts derived from the excavation of a well-stratified site’ and arguments drawn from considerations of style.

page 251 note 1 For the finding of the fragment published in B.S.A. xxviii, p. 71, fig. 13, b, see b p. 49. There appears to be no record of the circumstances of the finding of the fragment which came to light at Sparta in 1925 and is shewn in a case in Sparta Museum beside sherds from Orthia; this is the piece mentioned by me in B.S.A. xxxi, p. 113, and by Kunze in Gnomon, January 1933, p. 7, note 1.

page 254 note 2 See B.S.A. xiii, pp. 121–23; p. 122, fig. 2 (or do the pyxis shapes in fig. 2, p and r, qualify for consideration here?); B.S.A. xxviii, p. 54; Artemis Orthia, pp. 56–59; p. 57, fig. 31. A subsequent decided preference for ‘the pyxis form’ is noticed among the Orthia fragments in B.S.A. xiii, p. 124, but the shape is neither more fully described nor illustrated, there or elsewhere.
