Antissa

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  11 October 2013

Extract

The excavations at Antissa took place between May 29 and July 3. The most important area was that of the apsidal buildings, AC, but further exploration was carried out in the tombs south and south-east of the Acropolis, and tests were made on the promontory and the coast east of the promontory.

The working party consisted of myself, Miss Six and Mr. J. K. Brock for the duration of the dig, together with Mr. R. Cook for the last fortnight. Mr. Brock was in charge of the excavation of AC, and many of his notes and conclusions are incorporated in this report. Mr. Paraskevaïdes, Ephor of Antiquities, was present for four of the five weeks, and gave us invaluable help in archaeological and business matters. We would like to take this opportunity of expressing our gratitude to Professor Oikonomos for the many facilities provided for us at the National Museum.

page 48 note 4 Two black-glaze fragments seem to have been found under wall V, though they were not observed during excavation. We think they were strays. If, on the other hand, they are the result of the wall having been built at a later date than is suggested above, on ground cleared of its later strata, they must be regarded as contemporary with the late sixth-century material from under the pavement VII.

page 51 note 2 This account includes some whole vases from the mandra (p. 63) with the pottery from AC in order to give a more complete series of shapes. The vases from the tombs which we dug ourselves, and which contained hardly any bucchero, are treated separately.

page 57 note 1 The preference for wavy lines recalls the class discussed by Technau, , A.M., 1929, pp. 29Google Scholar, 30, but the Antissa examples, besides being of different clay, shew the motive multiplied.

page 63 note 2 The bowl seems local. The amphora, one of a pair, is shaped like the Rhodian examples (e.g. Clara Rhodos, IV, p. 162, fig. 161) and may be imported or copied. The date is first half fifth century.
