In the earliest years of their work in the Athenian Agora, American excavators came upon a number of deposits of an unusual type: a shallow depression or irregular pit, with marked evidence of burning on its floor, containing multiple vessels of a limited range of standard forms.1 Most of the pots were miniatures-commonly, small plates and saucers, lekanides, and cooking pots-but alabastra, larger plates, and a full-size drinking cup or lamp were sometimes included. Occasionally a few tiny and calcined fragments of bone were recovered. These deposits never appeared within the Agora square itself, but they were common among the houses and workshops that surrounded it. They were particularly numerous in the socalled Industrial District southwest of the Agora, which Rodney Young excavated in the late 1930s and the 1940s. Taking the bone fragments to be human, Young published the contents of fourteen such deposits from that part of the city in his article "Sepulturae intra urbem,"2 interpreting them as the cremation graves of infants and christening them "pyre burials." This conclusion has long been viewed with skepticism. Homer Thompson expressed his doubts in the early 1970s, citing the shallowness of the deposits and the absence of markers.3 A decade later, Ursula Knigge and Wilfried Kovacsovics rejected this interpretation of similar deposits under Bau Z in the Kerameikos, pointing out that infant cremation is otherwise virtually unknown.4 Finally, study of better-preserved bones from similar deposits more recently unearthed in the Agora has shown that the bones are animal rather than human.5 These deposits seem, then, to bear witness to some kind of sacrificial ritual rather than human burial, and the name has been adjusted to "ritual pyre," "saucer pyre," or simply "pyre."l Recent speculation has connected them with rites attending the construction or remodeling of a building, the memorializing of the dead, or the propitiation of the spirits of the deceased.6 Full investigation of the phenomenon lies outside the scope of this paper. As a contribution toward that investigation, however, we would like to present a unique conjunction-a lead curse tablet found inside a typical pyre vessel, a chytridionthat has previously received only brief mention in the literature.7 Because of its importance for the understanding of Athenian pyres, we offer here the full documentation of context, chytridion, and curse. 1. For initial permission to publish the pot and the curse tablet discussed below we are indebted to T. Leslie Shear Jr., and for their drawings of Figures 1 and 3, to Richard Anderson and Anne Hooton, respectively.

在他们在雅典集市工作的最初几年里,美国挖掘者发现了许多不寻常类型的沉积物:一个浅洼地或不规则的坑,其地板上有明显的燃烧证据,里面有多种标准形式的容器大多数的壶都是微型的——通常是小盘子和茶碟、小盆和烹饪锅——但有时也包括雪花、大盘子和一个全尺寸的水杯或灯。偶尔会发现一些细小的、烧过的骨头碎片。这些沉积物从未出现在集市广场本身,但它们在周围的房屋和车间中很常见。他们在Agora西南的所谓工业区尤其多,Rodney Young在20世纪30年代末和40年代挖掘了这个地区。杨认为这些骨头碎片是人类的,他在他的文章《埋葬》(Sepulturae intra urbem)中发表了14个这样的沉积物,将它们解释为婴儿的火葬坟墓,并将它们命名为“火葬”。长期以来,人们对这一结论持怀疑态度。荷马·汤普森在20世纪70年代初表达了他的怀疑,理由是矿床很浅,而且没有标记十年后,Ursula Knigge和Wilfried Kovacsovics拒绝了对Kerameikos Bau Z下类似沉积物的这种解释,并指出婴儿火化实际上是未知的最后,对最近在Agora出土的类似沉积物中保存较好的骨头的研究表明,这些骨头是动物而不是人类的因此,这些沉积物似乎见证了某种祭祀仪式,而不是人类的葬礼,其名称已被调整为“仪式火堆”、“碟形火堆”或简称为“火堆”。最近的推测将它们与参加建筑物的建造或改造、纪念死者或安抚死者灵魂的仪式联系起来对这一现象的全面调查不在本文的范围之内。然而,作为对这项研究的贡献,我们想提出一个独特的结合——在一个典型的火葬容器中发现的铅诅咒片,这是一种以前在文献中只被简短提及的壶因为它对理解雅典火葬的重要性,我们在这里提供了上下文,壶和诅咒的完整文档。1. 对于最初允许出版下面讨论的锅和诅咒板,我们感谢T.

T HE DETERMINATION OF REGIONAL STYLES is a recognized part of Greek architectural studies. 1 Such discussions have focused on ground plans, use of refinements, or ways in which architects solved specific problems common to all buildings.2 This study introduces roof design as another means of recognizing regional building practices, as expressed in the form and function of the geison. Because of the geison's position at the top of the entablature and the edge of the roof geison design reflects both the technical and the decorative aspects of the building and provides positive evidence concerning roof construction. Since wood from ancient Greek buildings is not commonly preserved, the woodwork of the ceiling and roof must be reconstructed from indirect evidence, such as the cuttings in stone members of the entablature and tympanum. In particular, the rafter beams generally came into contact with the lateral geison3 (Fig. 1). The most thorough study of this subject is Trevor Hodge's book, The Woodwork of Greek Roofs (1960). On the basis of his own survey of extant geison blocks, Hodge recognized two basic forms, the flattopped and the sloping-topped geison, each with several subtypes. But while Hodge acknowledged the diversity of forms, he maintained that the distribution of types of geison blocks revealed no chronological or geographical pattern.4 The present study reexamines preserved geison forms from the Greek mainland and Sicily and brings new observations to bear on two specific areas of Greek architecture: the identification of a West Greek style of roof design and the role of Sicilian architects in the creation of a tie-beam truss.
