Abstract

A catalogue of pottery, all or most of it from the 1911 excavations of the British School at Phylakopi, set out by shape and motif, is accompanied by a summary collation of evidence for dating and provenance across the Cyclades. Investigation of the material provides some new information about the character of the Phylakopi pottery and the contexts in which it was found. The material prompts observations on a number of questions in the area of Cycladic prehistoric ceramics, prominent among which is the transition from E to MC Some suggestions are offered as to topics which require investigation. The study should be seen as a continuation of work by the same writer which appeared in BSA 69 (1974).

Ένας κατάλογος αγγείων και οστράκων, όλα ή τα περισσότερα από αυτά από τις ανασκαφές της Βρεταννικής Σχολής στη Φυλακωπή κατά το 1911, οργανωμένος κατά σχήματα και μοτίβα, συνοδεύεται από μία σύντομη επισκόπηση των ενδείξεων που υπάρχουν από τα νησιά των Κυκλάδων γενικά σχετικά με τη χρονολόγηση και την προέλευσή τους. Από τη μελέτη του υλικού προκύπτουν ορισμένα νέα στοιχεία για το χαρακτήρα της ντόπιας κεραμεικής της Φυλακωπής και τις ανασκαφικές της συνάφειες. Το άρθρο συμπεριλαμβάνει παρατηρήσεις πάνω σε διάφορα θέματα που αφορούν στην προϊστορική κεραμεική των Κυκλάδων – το πιό σημαντικό από τα οποία αναφέρεται στο θέμα της μετάβασης από την Πρωτοκυκλαδική στη Μεσοκυκλαδική περίοδο. Επιπλέον, διατυπώνονται προτάσεις για θέμαια που χρήζουν περαιτέρω έρευνας. Ｈ παρούσα μελέτη θα πρέπει να θεωρηθεί ως συνέχεια της δημοσίευσης του συγγραφέα στο BSA 69 (1974).
