I.—Excavations At Sparta, 1908; § 1.—The Season's Work

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  18 October 2013

Extract

The work of the School in 1908 was again confined to the site of Sparta, and the continuance of the excavation of the sanctuary of Artemis Orthia demanded the greater part of the time and funds available. In expressing thanks to the Hellenic Government and to the Ephor General of Antiquities, Doctor Kavvadias, for their support and the interest which they have always taken in the work, especial mention must be made this year of the progress in furnishing the new rooms recently added to the Sparta Museum. One of these has now been filled with exhibition cases in which a representative series of the new finds has been placed, so labelled as to enable visitors to form some idea of the results of the excavation and the fresh light which it throws upon the art of early Sparta. The Hellenic Government was again ably represented at the excavation by Mr. Gerasimos Kapsalis.
