During the three seasons of the excavation at the Hieron of Artemis Orthia about a thousand fragments of terracottas have been found. A number of these were discovered in the bank of the Eurotas or in the disturbed upper levels in the sixth-century temple, but the great majority came to light in the systematic digging of the precincts. Wherever possible, approximate dates for each type are given below, calculated in the light of Mr. Droop's analysis of the pottery, and of the relation of the finds to the epoch of the building of the second temple, now fixed at about B.C. 600.
