Abstract

In 1921, Carl Biegen found Mycenaean and other ancient sherds at a site then named Souroukla, near Skala in Laconia. William Coulson and others have mistakenly assumed that Souroukla is to be identified as Ayios Stephanos, the important site surveyed by the author in 1956 and later excavated by the British School under Lord William Taylour. The author here reveals that the true identity of Souroukla is the site of Skala: Ayios Nikolaos.

To 1921 ο Carl Biegen εντόπνσε μυκηναϊκά και άλλα αρχαία όστρακα στην τότε ονομαζόμενη θέση Σουρούκλα, κοντά στη Σκάλα Λακωνίας. Ο William Coulson και άλλοι μελετητές λανθασμένα υπέτεσαν ότι η θέση Σουρούκλα πρέπει να ταυτιστεί με τον Άγιο Στέφανο, μία σημαντική θέση, την οποία ερεύνησε επιφανειακά ο γράφων το 1955 και αργότερα ανεσκάφη από την Βρετανική Σχολή υπό τη διεύθυνση του Λόρδου William Taylour. Ο γράφων δείκνει στο παρόν άρθρο την ταύτιση της Σουρούκλας με τη θέση Σκάλα: Άγιος Νικόλαος.
