Extract

The Object of these notes is to draw attention to some ancient sites mostly within easy reach of Salonika which seem to have hitherto escaped the notice of travellers. It has been possible to make a few additions to the list of mounds published by Mr. Wace in 1915, and supplementary notes are added in a few cases-where further exploration has confirmed or modified his conclusions. A few of the mounds given in his list have been excavated with varying degrees of thoroughness, but it is to be feared that the results will not be published as a whole, and in many instances not at all.

page 53 note 3 It will be noted that the spelling of place-names is not uniform in the various papers. This is due to the difficulty of transliterating Turkish names, and as there is no generally accepted system it has been thought better to allow the contributors to transliterate as they please.—[ED.]

page 57 note 2 During 1917 some portions of the area were excavated by the French authorities, but the work was apparently abandoned, and in July, 1918, many of the trenches were falling in.

page 58 note 1 A stone implement of the coup-de-poing type was ound on the site, close to the shaft (c) above, by Lt.-Col. James, R.A., M.C., in 191S. It was of a dark-green stone, resembling jade (?), and about inches long. Flaked like the normal ‘palaeolithic’ implements it had been subsequently polished smooth by use, not by grinding.

page 59 note 1 This site is about five miles south of No. 1, and therefore does not come into the area shown on the map.
