Terracotta Plaques from Praesos, East Crete

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  18 October 2013

Extract

With the larger terracottas excavated by the British School of Athens at Praesos in 1900 I have already dealt elsewhere (B.S.A. viii. pp. 271 ff.). My purpose here is to treat of the interesting series of plaques discovered during the same excavations, of which I was then only able to give but a summary account. Their interest lies not so much in their artistic merit as in the light they throw on the customs and beliefs of the Eteocretan people during a long period extending from the archaic to the Hellenistic age.
