Cakes in the Liknon: Votives from the Sanctuary of Demeter and Kore on Acrocorinth
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. Of the 588 fragments found, the greatest number, approximately 365, were found on the Middle Terrace, where sacrifice was performed and offerings probably presented. A smaller number, 212, were recovered from the Lower Terrace, the area set aside for dining.
