Archaeology in Greece (1909–1910)

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  23 December 2013

Extract

Since the last of these reports was written, two new excavations of great promise have been begun, Cyrene and Sardes, both by American archaeologists, and the work of the British School at Sparta has been brought to a close. The most interesting new discoveries are perhaps those from Crete: the Late Minoan I cemetery found by Mr. Seager at Gournia and the tomb-chapel and great Early Minoan rock-cut cistern from Knossos.

The activities of the Greek Archaeological Society have been very numerous. Dr. Brueckner has continued his work at the Dipylon cemetery locating the enclosure of the Τριτοπατρεῖς Dr. Stais has published his excavation of the Sanctuary of the Nymphs at Phaleron, Dr. Sotiriades has worked at Chaironeia and Dr. Arvanitopoullos has carried forward his work at Pagasai, which led two years ago to the discovery of so many painted grave stelai. This year, the lower part of the stele with the picture of a woman dying in childbirth has been found.
