Abstract

ABSTRACT:Recent excavations at Anavlochos in eastern Crete revealed votive material, consisting mostly of female figurines, deposited in natural rock cavities of a mountain ridge. One cavity stands out from the rest of the deposit for its anomalous finds, which notably include a Minoan sealstone. The various offerings from this "sealstone cavity," all curated objects, were probably deposited in the 7th century b.c. An examination of the use and meaning of curated objects (keimelia) in the Homeric epics shows that they could represent substitutes for a missing person—a possible interpretation for the finds from the sealstone cavity.

来自克里特岛的Votive Keimelia:荷马对7世纪收藏物品的看法

摘要:最近在克里特岛东部的Anavlochos进行的挖掘发现，在一个山脊的天然岩洞中，沉积了一些主要由女性雕像组成的祈愿材料。其中一个洞穴因其异常发现而从其他沉积物中脱颖而出，其中特别包括一块米诺斯印章石。从这个“封印石洞”中发现的各种各样的物品，都是精心收藏的物品，可能是在公元前7世纪沉积的。对荷马史诗中精心收藏的物品(keimelia)的用途和意义的研究表明，它们可以代表失踪人员的替代品——这可能是对封印石洞中发现的物品的一种解释。
