Abstract
D URING THE 1989 SEASON, the University of Chicago conducted excavations in the early Hellenistic settlement on the ridge south of the Sanctuary of Poseidon at Isthmia (Fig. 1).1 The site is known locally as the Rachi, or ridge, and had been located and partially excavated by Professor Oscar Broneer from 1954 to 1956, after the chance discovery of a gold earring on the summit. The excavations in 1954 and 1955, supervised by Chrysoula Kardara, uncovered votive pits at the summit and structures occupying the long narrow surface of the ridge. A well and a cistern in the settlement were discovered in 1955, and excavation of those features was completed in the spring of 1956 with William B. Donovan as trenchmaster.2 The goals of the 1989 investigations on the Rachi were to reveal the plans of individual buildings and the extent and chronology of the settlement in preparation for publication of the site. Trenches were opened in three areas (Fig. 2): the central part of the settlement, the east end, and the south slope of the ridge. As a result of the work in 1989, a stratigraphic sequence is now available for the entire period of occupation of the site. Several areas not completely excavated during 1954 and 1955 were cleared, and new buildings were discovered at the east end and along the south slope. This report is intended to serve as
在1989年的季节,芝加哥大学在地峡波塞冬神庙南部山脊上的早期希腊化定居点进行了挖掘(图1)这个地方在当地被称为Rachi,或山脊,奥斯卡·布朗纳教授在1954年至1956年期间在山顶偶然发现了一个金耳环,之后对它进行了定位和部分挖掘。1954年和1955年,在Chrysoula Kardara的监督下,挖掘工作发现了山顶的祈祷坑和占据山脊狭长的表面的结构。1955年,人们在定居地发现了一口井和一个蓄水池,1956年春天,威廉·b·多诺万(William B. Donovan)担任沟渠负责人,完成了对这些特征的挖掘1989年对Rachi进行调查的目的是揭示单个建筑物的平面图以及定居点的范围和年代,为该地点的出版做准备。在三个区域(图2)开辟了壕沟:聚落的中部、东端和山脊的南坡。由于1989年的工作,现在可以获得该遗址整个占领时期的地层序列。在1954年和1955年未完全挖掘的几个地区被清除,在东端和沿南坡发现了新的建筑物。本报告旨在作为
