Prepalatial Cemeteries at Mochlos and Gournia and the House Tombs of Bronze Age Crete
by Jeffrey Soles
This book is a study of the house tombs of Crete based on a reexamination of the extant remains at the cemeteries of Gournia and Mochlos. Excavated in the beginning of the century by Harriet Boyd Hawes (Gournia) and Richard B. Seager (Mochlos), the cemeteries underwent cleaning operations in 1971, 1972, and 1976. These later investigations resulted in a more thorough understanding of the sites; actual-state plans and sections of the tombs and ...

Hellenistic Relief Molds from the Athenian Agora
by Claireve Grandjouan
Over 100 clay moulds were found between 1931 and 1977 in the fills within the three great Hellenistic stoas which once lined the Agora (the Middle Stoa, the Stoa of Attalos, and the South Stoa) are published in this book. While the repertory of images which could have been cast using them, comprising 25 subjects, is relatively conventional, the large size (up to 30 x 60 cm) makes their function a puzzle. The author concludes that they must have ...

Attic Grave Reliefs that Represent Women in the Dress of Isis
by Elizabeth Walters
The author investigates the appearance of a fashion in clothing, involving a knotted mantle worn across the chest, on many Attic stelae of the Roman period. She suggests that this style can be traced to Egyptian roots, and might have particularly been associated with a cult of Isis, popular among wealthy Athenians. The book presents a catalogue of the 106 known "Isis" reliefs from Attica and a review of all forms of evidence for the cult. xvi ...

Excavations in Pylos in Elis

This report is divided chronologically: Middle Helladic, Geometric, Archaic, Classical, Roman, Byzantine and Frankish.

A Sanctuary of Zeus on Mount Hymettos
by Merle Langdon
This is the final publication of a small open-air sanctuary of Zeus, on Mt Hymettus above Athens, excavated between the Wars by Carl Blegen and Rodney Young. The finds reflect two periods of activity: 950-575 B.C. (many domestic cups and jugs, burnt animal bones), and the decades on either side of A.D. 400 ( some 120 late Roman lamps). The most significant find, however, was of 170 graffiti indicating a surprisingly high level of literacy in ...

The Political Organization of Attica: A Study of the Demes, Trittyes, and Phylai, and Their Representation in the Athenian Council
by John Traill
Using inscriptions recording council membership recovered by excavations in the Athenian Agora, the author presents a detailed reconstruction of the political geography of Attica. The reforms of the 6th-century B.C. politician Cleisthenes organized Athenian citizens into ten tribes (phylai), divided into thirty "thirds" (trittyes) and 139 local units (demes). The author shows how this visionary arrangement was maintained almost unchanged until at ...
