A full collection of reports on each year's field work appears in two series of volumes, the Kazi Sonuglan Toplantisi and the Arastirma Sonuglan Toplantisi. These are the published records of the annual Symposia organized by the Department of Antiquities (formerly the Eski Eserler ve Miizeler Genel Mudurlugii, now the Anitlar ve Miizeler Genel Mudurlugii = General Directorate for Monuments and Museums) at which researchers are required to present the results of the previous year's activities. Thus an oral report is delivered to the Symposium between six and ten months after completion of field work, and a published version appears a year later. VI Kazi Sonuglan Toplantisi, published in spring 1985, contains the reports presented to the 1984 Symposium on all the excavations which took place in Turkey in 1983. // Arastirma Sonuglan Toplantisi, published at the same time, contains accounts of surveys and other research activity excluding excavation carried out in 1983. The two series have continued annually and the latest volumes to appear are XI Kazi Sonuglan Toplantisi and VII Arastirma Sonuglan Toplantisi, which appeared in spring 1990 and report on the activities of 1988. In addition since 1985 there has been an Archaeometry section of the Symposium, whose findings have been published in I-V Arkeometri Sonuglan Toplantisi. For reports on the 1989 field season I have occasionally relied on the brief summaries circulated to participants at the 1990 Symposium. The increase in field work has been such that volumes VIII to XI in the excavation series, and volume V of the research series have been published in two parts. The only officially authorized field work which is not recorded in these volumes is a small number of minor excavations carried out by local museums. Unfortunately many of these are never reported in print at all. This admirably prompt system of publication has one significant drawback for foreign archaeologists and scholars, namely the fact that most of the articles are in Turkish.","PeriodicalId":53875,"journal":{"name":"Archaeological Reports-London","volume":"36 1","pages":"83 - 131"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"1990-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.2307/581028","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69061681","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In compiling them, I have been acutely aware that it would have been possible and probably easier to devote the space I have for six years' work in two areas to every year in each area. I have, to put it mildly, been highly selective; and where selection is the result of human frailty, whether my own or that of others, I have not hesitated to bow to the inevitable. The two treatments I have prepared below are very different in character. SARDINIA is still essentially terra incognita to all but the most enterprising classical archaeologists. I have therefore paid particular attention to recent advances that illustrate the island's crucial role in episodes hitherto regarded as the exclusive preserve of Aegean specialists—notably the activities of the Bronze Age entrepreneurs from Cyprus and the Levant who (I believe) paved the way for the first Western Greeks of the 8th century. Greek SOUTH ITALY, on the other hand, has long been basically familiar in the outside world—and is more so now than it was when Professor Trendall inaugurated these Reports a generation ago. Accordingly, in the reduced space that I have allowed myself for the flourishing classical scene in Campania, Apulia, Basilicata and Calabria, I have usually refrained from summarizing information that is already published: abstracts can never be a substitute for the real thing, and least of all for scholars and students whose institutions (particularly in Britain) can no longer afford to subscribe to even the main journals. Where I have had a choice, I have opted for news of projects that illustrate the methodological kinship that is increasingly being sought between classical and non-classical archaeology: hence the pictures of urban rescue in Naples and notes on field survey around Croton.","PeriodicalId":53875,"journal":{"name":"Archaeological Reports-London","volume":"35 1","pages":"130 - 147"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"1989-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.2307/581082","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69063003","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Warren","doi":"10.2307/581127","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2307/581127","url":null,"abstract":"Knossos Part IV gives an account of the Late Hellenistic and Roman periods on the site, following upon the SubMinoan/Early Protogeometric-Hellenistic Part HI (AR 1984-85, 124-29). As before, the account is provisional. Catalogued vases of all periods stand (April 1988) at 1,841 and over half of a total unlikely to be less than 15,000 kg. of sherds has been studied. Study of the remainder is progressing and may require modification of details in the present report. For instruction in dating a number of Roman pieces I am very grateful to Dr J.W. Hayes and Mr L.H. Sackett. Mr Sackett has been specially helpful in providing parallel pieces from the much richer 1st and 2nd century A.D. levels over the Unexplored Mansion to the east. Drs D.J. Thompson and MJ. Price kindly dated the coins and Dr Jennifer Price identified and dated catalogued pieces of glass. Plan tracings in Figs. 1, 24 and 50 are the work of Mr David Smyth. It is intended that a final preliminary report, Part V, will present the main evidence for some substantial Minoan deposits, MMIALMIB, discovered and studied since Part I (AR 1980-81, 73-92). After an absence of buildings, though not of pits and wells, from around Late Protogeometric to about 250— 225 B.C., we find an expansion of the city in later Hellenistic times and building occupation, probably continuous, to at least the 2nd century A.D., followed by 4th and perhaps 5th century constructions. The surviving movable artefacts were not rich and good floor deposits were almost non-existent. The reason for this was that successive building levels often removed predecessors down to the foundations, while the ground slope down from west to east and the consequent and constant need for north-south retaining walls added to the stratigraphical complexity. Full interpretation of buildings is, therefore, not easy and sometimes not possible. Nevertheless this segment of Knossian late Hellenistic and Roman urban life does yield a number of interesting products.","PeriodicalId":53875,"journal":{"name":"Archaeological Reports-London","volume":"34 1","pages":"86 - 104"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"1988-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.2307/581127","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69063907","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For various reasons it has had to be compiled in a very short space of time and cannot, therefore, be as full as might be wished. The information on excavations and museum acquisitions has been condensed from the reports submitted annually to the Bulletin de Correspondance Hellenique by Dr Vassos Karageorghis, Director for the Department of Antiquities. I am also grateful to Dr. Karageorghis for sending photographs at short notice. Unfortunately these were delayed in the post beyond the printer's deadline. Further photographs have been supplied by Dr R. J. A. Wilson, Dr E. J. Peltenburg and Professor F. G. Maier. An attempt has been made to supply as much extra bibliographic information as possible but this is by no means complete. Much more bibliographic detail can be obtained from L. Ieronomachou's 'Cypriote Bibliography: Archaeology 1979-1981', RDAC 1982, 260-69 (for the start of the period covered here) and from the comprehensive bibliographies given in Archaeology In Cyprus 1960-1985, V. Karageorghis, ed. (Nicosia, 1985), which also contains a general bibliography covering the years 1935-85. again compiled by L. Ieronomachou. See also S. Swiny, 'Recent Developments in Cypriot Prehistoric Archaeology', American Journal of Archaeology 89 (1985), 39-51. Dr E. J. Peltenburg has kindly helped with bibliographical information. I am also grateful to Pamela Magrill for her invaluable assistance in the preparation of this report. Despite the continuing armed occupation of the north of the island by the Turkish government the pace of archaeological investigation on Cyprus has continued to grow in these years. Archaeological missions from Britain, America, France, Sweden, Canada, Switzerland and Poland have all been active. The Department of Antiquities has conducted major excavations (see below) at Amathus, Kourion, Kato Paphos, Maa Palaeokastro, Pyla Kokkinokremos and Alassa and has carried out rescue excavations throughout the island (particularly in response to tourist development at Kato Paphos and Amathus). In addition the Department has pursued an active policy of restoration on monuments of all periods including the Temple of Apollo Hylates at Kourion (Fig. 1), the house of Hadjigeorghakis in Nicosia (see RDAC 1985, 350-63) and the House of Aion at Kato Paphos. Particular attention has been given to churches, mosques and traditional architecture (see RDAC 1984, 354— 74). A special exhibition was mounted in the Cyprus Museum in 1985 to mark the fiftieth anniversary of the Department and was opened by the President of the Republic. In addition a mediaeval museum has been opened in Limassol Castle and additions made to the Yeroskipou Folk Art Museum. Further details of the Department's activities will be found in the Annual Report of the Director of Antiquities for the relevant years.","PeriodicalId":53875,"journal":{"name":"Archaeological Reports-London","volume":"33 1","pages":"62 - 77"},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"1987-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.2307/581086","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69063074","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These have now been significantly augmented, while the Cycladic collection has been enhanced by a very remarkable monumental sculpture which clearly constitutes a major addition to the Cycladic repertoire.
