Abstract
THE mastery of detail which now distinguishes classical archeology is well exemplified in this admirable volume. Half of it is taken up by an exhaustive investigation of unprepossessing objects excavated during 1931– 32 in a sanctuary on Ithaca, dating from the ninth to the sixth centuries B.C. Much of the pottery is Corinthian mass-produced ware painted with a limited repertoire of traditional patterns, animals and occasionally human figures, while other Greek and even Etruscan imports in various materials appear from time to time in smaller numbers.
