Abstract

The recent excavations at Akrotiri on Thera have brought to light 21 new EC figurines which, taken together with those already known or completely unknown, raise the number of EC figurines from the site of 37. The Akrotiri figurines comprise a wide range of types, both schematic and naturalistic, covering almost the whole of the known EC sculptural repertoire and also introduce types which are entirely new. Thus they constitute a significant body of evidence, for the following reasons: first, because they show unmistakably the importance of the settlement at Akrotiri already in the third millennium BC; second, because, by contrast with most EC figurines, they come from a systematic excavation; and third, because, including types and showing features up until now rarely seen or even completely unknown in the Cyclades and the Aegean, they enrich our knowledge of EC figurative sculpture and offer us the possibility of drawing a number of inferences.

199 An ivory folded-arm figurine and three marble heads from Tholos C at Archanes [I. Sakellarakis, ‘ἈνασκαΦὴ Ἀρχανῶν’, PAE 1972, 334–5, 336–8, 341, 342, 350–1, pl. 285 α–β; id. 1977 (n. 22), 100, 102; figs. 1–3, 16–18; id. in Art and Culture, 150–1, figs. 142–3; Sakellarakis, Y. and Sakellarakis, E., Κρήτη:Αρχάνες (Athens, 1991), 118Google Scholar and figs. 93–4] were classed by I. Sakellarakis in the Spedos variety; Thimme, however, classified the ivory idol in the postcanonical figures and the three marble heads in the Koumasa variety (Art and Culture, 460).

320 Höckmann, in Art and Culture, 46, 48, 50; Thimme, in Art and Culture, 455. According to both Höckmann and Thimme, the abstract schematic idols, such as the pebble and simple violin figurines, probably originally served as amulets (Art and Culture, 44, 427). Höckmann also thinks that the Plastiras and Eouros figures, which are represented in an erect posture and can stand on their own, and in particular the large forward facing Plastiras figures, seem especially well suited for display, as in domestic shrines (Art and Culture, 44-5).
