JXCAVATIONS at the Sanctuary of Demeter and Kore on Acrocorinth have brought L to light numerous miniature clay XlXVc, or winnowing baskets, filled with cakes: votive offerings for the two goddesses who first revealed to man the secrets of cultivating 8nVntPL0Cxok, or cereals., Votive likna were dedicated in the Sanctuary from the early 6th century B.C., if not earlier, until the 2nd century B.C. It is almost impossible to refine the chronological limits, as there are so few stratified or closed deposits. These votives are most heavily concentrated in the 6th and 5th centuries.

N THIS ARTICLE are collected several unpublished fragments of inscriptions apparently dealing with financial affairs, found in the excavations of the Athenian Agora between 1931 and 1967.1 These fragments are mostly small and unrelated to one another and, with the probable exception of 15 and 21, cannot definitely be attributed to any published series of financial documents. Nevertheless, I hope that their publication here may be of use to scholars in the future, when new materials come to light.

N 1988 a fine under-life-sized head from a statue (P1. 89) was discovered in Samothrace during excavations in the area of the Neorion, or Ship Monument, which is located on the West Hill of the Sanctuary of the Great Gods.1 This head probably belonged to a votive statue of the "Great Mother" (a goddess known in antiquity as Mother of the Gods, Kybele, and Magna Mater) in the same scheme as that represented on a series of Samothracian coins of the Hellenistic period (P1. 90:a). It is the only sculpture of this type to have been found in the Sanctuary at Samothrace, which was one of the most important places of worship of the Great Mother. It is also one of the finest examples of this sculptural type that has survived. The head is of white, fine-grained marble. It is quite well preserved, being broken in only a few places: horizontally ca. 0.01 m. above the hairline, at the tip of the nose, and at the back of the neck on the left side. The back of head and neck are flat and roughly dressed with a chisel (P1. 89:b). The bottom of the neck is carved into a fairly shallow tenon of triangular outline, which was inserted into a statue, now lost. On each side a long twisted lock of hair, carved free of the neck, extends from behind the ear to the shoulder. The hair is centrally parted and pulled back with a narrow, shallowly chiseled fillet. The brows curve downward toward the outer corners of the eyes, and the long, narrow bridge of the nose is flat with sharp edges. The small, full mouth is slightly open. The underchin is plump, and the neck has two "Venus rings". The head turns slightly to the right and has an upward tilt. The surface of the marble is finely finished. Evidence for the use of the point remains in two areas that would not have been visible: on the left side of the neck behind the lock of hair and on the bottom surface of the tenon. The flat surface of the back of the head and neck was dressed with a flat chisel. A drill was used to undercut the long locks of hair at either side of the neck; drill channels are visible at the intersection of neck and shoulder on both sides. The ear canals are drilled, as is the deeply indented area between the inside corners of the eyes and the root of the nose. The shallow tenon is dowelless, but the arms and feet of the statue may have been attached separately by means of dowels, judging from the large number of sculptural
