Part I. Preliminary Report on the Excavations of 1955

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  04 October 2013

Extract

The British excavations at Mycenae were resumed in 1955 with research grants from the American Philosophical Society and Bollingen Foundation and contributions from the Universities of Cambridge and Oxford, the British Academy, and the Seager Fund of the British School at Athens under whose aegis the excavations were conducted.

Work began on August 6th and ceased on September 7th. The next two days were spent in studying and photographing the objects found and in conveying them to the Nauplia Museum. There they were deposited in the room which Dr. Papademetriou has kindly placed at our disposal. We have taken the opportunity of equipping the room with wooden shelving to accommodate the vases and the other objects found and to store the wooden trays containing the boxes with the smaller finds.

page 104 note 3 Dr. Papademetriou has already begun investigations south of this column (Orlandos, , Ἔργον ἈρΧ. Ἑτ 1955, 74Google Scholar, figs. 70, 71). He has found close to the south side of the column a round base which he believes may have been an altar and near it fragments of circular altars or tables of offering of painted stucco. To the east the floor is paved not with gypsum slabe but with plaster and this he suggests may have been the emplacement for a throne. See also BCH 1956, 261 f., figs. 1, 2.
