1 My thanks for assistance of various kinds are due to many: for help in excavating, to the patient trench supervisors and in particular to Mr L. H. Sackett and Mrs Cressida Ridley who were there at the beginning and the end, to Antoni our Cretan foreman and his hard working and skilled diggers, and to our faithful architect Mr Ken McFadzean: for other assistance, to the apotheke staff and especially to our Greek vasemender Petros.

The excavation was sponsored and financed by the Managing Committee of the School, was greatly aided by the Ephor, Dr St Alexiou, and was forwarded by the ready support and keen interest of Mr A. H. S. Megaw and Dr H. Catling, Directors of the School: to the latter I am indebted, too, for expert advice on the bronzes.

The plan is by our architect, the drawings by Miss Susan Bird, the photographs are mine as are all the mistakes.
