Excavations at Kavousi Vronda, Crete, recovered 107 intrusive Early Iron Age burials within the abandoned Late Minoan IIIC town. Of these, three were secondary cremation burials in amphoras deposited in stone cist graves that also contained multiple primary cremation burials. The small quantity of bone in each amphora and the recurrence of skeletal elements (bones from the cranium and right forearm) suggest that these burials represent the deliberate selection of particular skeletal parts that may have been transported to the communal graves at Vronda. The author explores the possible significance of these token burials within the larger context of funerary ritual and the representation of the dead.

Two rupestral horoi found on the Hill of the Nymphs in Athens, IG I 3 1055 A (hOρoζ: ΔiOζ [retrograde with reversed sigmas]) and B (hOρoζ), are not a single boustrophedon text as usually edited. Investigation of thepossibility that B marked a deme boundary, prefaced by a discussion of deme formation and territoriality, yields evidence that the ancient street that passed south of horos B on its route from the Agora to the saddle between the Hill of the Nymphs and the Pnyx divided the urban demes ofMelite and Kollytos. This argument challenges the traditional view that the Pnyx was in Melite. The study concludes with an approximation of the full extent of Melite.
在雅典的仙女山上发现的两个rupestral horoi, IG I 3 1055 A (hoρ ζ: ΔiOζ[反向sigma逆行])和B (hoρ ζ),并不是通常编辑的单一的boustrophedon文本。在对德谟克利特的形成和疆域的讨论开始之前,对德谟克利特标志着德谟克利特边界的可能性进行了调查,结果表明,从阿戈拉到仙女山和普尼克斯山之间的马鞍的路线上,经过赫洛洛兹B以南的古老街道将梅利特和科利托斯的城市德谟克利特分割开来。这一论点挑战了传统观点,即尼克斯是在米利特。这项研究的结论是对Melite的全部范围的近似。

A sarcophagus from the estate of Herodes Atticus in Kephisia commemorates the intimate connections of the family with the city of Sparta, the Battle of Marathon, and the cult statue of Nemesis at Rhamnous. The iconographic allusions to Marathon also reflect the priorities of the Second Sophistic, an intellectual movement that appealed to the past to establish cultural and political superiority. The unusual and meaningful decorative program suggests that the family commissioned this sarcophagus. The earlier view that the more unusual Attic sarcophagi were prefabricated, but that their themes simply proved unpopular, should be modified in light of this study.

Imported Akhaian and locally produced Akhaian-style pottery occurs in South Italy, Sicily, and beyond, found not only in the Akhaian apoikiai, but also in other settlements. The most characteristic Akhaian shape-the kantharos-is discussed within the context of its home region, including Elis. Examples of Archaic Akhaian pottery in the West are assembled and the distribution is compared to that of Akhaian and West Greek imports in the Late Bronze Age. A pattern emerges that suggests a complex reality of interaction and movement of people, commodities, and ideas between Greece and Italy in the pre- and protohistoric periods, thus contributing to a better understanding of the first western Greeks.

An extended graffito on a Hellenistic kantharos at Corinth seems to express a topos of greeting, quite likely in the form of a classic quotation from Euripides,just as we might quote Shakespeare today, whether or not we know the formal origin of the expression. The graffito forms another item of evidence for the currency of theater among many sections of Hellenistic society, not least in the context of the symposium. A recent observation by Jean Bousquet that a young stonemason practicing his letters at Delphi sometime near the beginning of the 3rd century B.C. used lines of Euripides as his text should prompt us to be alert for other examples outside literary sources.' After all, we are told, all the world's a stage. Another likely example indeed occurs on a kantharos from Corinth, already described by Oscar Broneer as "probably a quotation from a play."2 The vase is a kantharos of the so-called articulated type with ledged vertical handles (Fig. 1); it was found in a fill beneath the stairs of Shop I of the South Stoa.3 Its date is not as evident as one might have hoped. More recent research has suggested that G. R. Edwards's chronology for this material, proposed in Corinth VII, iii, was too high.4 The construction of the South Stoa is now placed at the end of the 4th century, and the deposit in which the vase was found represents a dumped fill dating from the Early Hellenistic period to 146 B.C. On stylistic grounds, the kantharos certainly dates to the 3rd century, but without a full profile it is difficult to say even whether it belongs to the earlier or later part, although our impression is that it should not be dated as early as the first quarter. As we shall see, the style of the script of the inscription would also suggest a date markedly after the beginning of the century. The script is a well-formed rounded capital, reminiscent of a typical formal hand of the earlier Ptolemaic period. The text gives eleven letters of the alphabet: the alpha is made with a narrow left-hand loop, which tends to reduce, as in some book scripts, to a simple diagonal; the delta is quite small, the epsilon rounded, with its horizontal slightly detached, and the sigma is also rounded; the clearer specimen of the two pi's shows neatly American School of Classical Studies at Athens is collaborating with JSTOR to digitize, preserve, and extend access to Hesperia www.jstor.org ® J.

科林斯(Corinth)一座希腊化的坎塔罗斯(kantharos)上的一幅扩展涂鸦似乎表达了一种问候的主题,很可能是欧里庇得斯(Euripides)经典语录的形式,就像我们今天可能引用莎士比亚的话一样,不管我们是否知道这种表达的正式起源。涂鸦形成了另一个证据,证明戏剧在希腊化社会的许多部分中都是流通的,尤其是在研讨会的背景下。Jean Bousquet最近观察到,一位年轻的石匠在公元前3世纪初的某个时候在德尔菲练习他的字母,他把欧里庇得斯的诗句作为他的文本,这应该提醒我们警惕文学来源之外的其他例子。毕竟,我们被告知,整个世界都是一个舞台。另一个可能的例子确实发生在科林斯的坎塔罗斯上,奥斯卡·布朗纳已经将其描述为“可能是戏剧中的引文”。这个花瓶是一个所谓的铰接式的花瓶,有边缘的垂直把手(图1);它是在南街一号商店楼梯下的一处填充物中被发现的。它的年代并不像人们所希望的那样明显。最近的研究表明,G. R. Edwards在《哥林多书》第七、三章中提出的这一材料的年表过高南柱廊的建设目前放置在4世纪的结束,和存款的花瓶被发现代表一个倾倒填充可以追溯到公元前146年的希腊早期风格,kantharos当然可以追溯到3世纪,但是没有一个完整的形象甚至还很难说它是否属于较早或较晚,虽然我们的印象是,它不应该早在第一季度。正如我们将看到的,铭文的文字风格也表明日期明显晚于本世纪初。该文字是一个结构良好的圆形大写字母,让人联想到早期托勒密时期典型的正式笔迹。文本给出了11个字母表字母:阿尔法字母在左手边形成一个狭窄的圆圈,就像在一些书籍脚本中一样,趋向于简化成一个简单的对角线;非常小,是圆角的,水平方向稍微分开,也是圆角的;两个圆周率的清晰样本显示,雅典的美国古典研究学院正与JSTOR合作,将Hesperia进行数字化、保存和扩展访问www.jstor.org®J.

The author reports on the results of a topographic survey in 1991 and 1992 of fifteen Classical tower sites on the Ionian island of Leukas. Plans, photographs, and elevations of remains visible after thorough cleaning are presented, based on drawings to scale in the field and both archival and recent photographic documentation. A brief history of the exploration of Leukas introduces a summary of the two seasons, with detailed description of each site. The date and function of the towers and adjacent structures are evaluated in the context of current research on rural settlement in classical antiquity, defensive architecture, and the regional history of the area.
