A Roman Chamber Tomb on the South-east slopes of Monasteriaki Kephala, Knossos

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  27 September 2013

Extract

In November 1978 the British School was requested by the Herakleion Ephorate to investigate a suspected chamber tomb in the Knossos Roman cemetery on the south-eastern slopes of Monasteriaki Kephala. The writer, then Knossos Fellow, undertook the excavation on behalf of the School. The tomb proved to be unpillaged; its contents were of unusual interest, not least among them being a large, closely datable group of glass vessels.

1 Acknowledgements. The author is grateful to the Herakleion Ephorate, represented in this case by the Epimeletria Mrs. Alexandra Karetsou, for inviting the School to investigate the tomb. Nikos Dhaskalakis was the pickman on the excavation, which owed a great deal to his experience, intelligence, and skill; he was assisted by Georgios Klinis and for part of the time by Myron Markakis. Petros Petrakis, M.B.E., the School's restorer, mended the pottery and terracottas; that 115 and 119–22 were restored sufficiently to allow them to be published is a triumph on his part. Dr. H. W. Catling, Director of the School, kindly took all the photographs except those in PLATES 35 and 43a, and made useful alterations and suggestions; in particular he called attention to the Tsambres and Aphendrika tombs in Cyprus. David Smyth, the School's Honorary Surveyor, prepared the map in FIG. I and made the fair versions of FIGS. 2 and 3 from the author's plans. The excellent drawings in FIGS. 4–7 are the work of Mrs. E. A. Catling and Miss Emma Faull. Philip Kinns's identification of the coins made an essential contribution to our knowledge of the tomb's date (Appendix 1). Dr. Jonathan Musgrave was good enough to examine the human remains, and despite their very poor state was able to provide the valuable information set forth in Appendix 2. Dr. R. E. Jones, the Research Officer in the Fitch Laboratory of the British School, kindly undertook the examination of a sample of the pink powder found in the glass sphere a and, using analyses carried out by Dr. V. Perdikatsis of the Geological Institute, Athens, furnished the report set out in Appendix 3. David S. Reese of St. John's College, Cambridge, identified the shells. R. V. Nicholls generously spent an evening in a detailed discussion of all the finds, and made numerous very helpful suggestions; it was he who recognized 104 as a probable stylus, Dionysus in the emblema 102, and provided information about and an illustration of the unguentarium found in Soudha Bay (p. 275 n. 85). Professor Axel Seeberg of Oslo University was extremely helpful in correspondence concerning the mask 115; he provided most of the comparanda, but warned that while the coroplast might have been influenced by theatrical masks, no specific theatre reference might have been intended; he also noted the diadem as a surprising feature for a comic mask. The author, however, is responsible for the interpretation of 115 as a funerary and/or cult object. Christopher Simon, School Student for 1981–2, drew attention to archaic protomic masks in burials, and I am indebted to him for many useful references, and discussion on cult objects, burial practices, and tomb types—but again he is not responsible for my conclusions. Others who provided helpful information and discussion were Miss Sipra Bhattacharya, R. W. V. Catling, Murray McLellan, Mrs. Sara Parfitt, Dr. Sir Douglas Parker, A. J. Spawforth, and the School's foreman at Knossos, Andonis Zidhianakis. I am most grateful to all of them.
