Abstract

This is a study of surface ceramic evidence (c. 5,000 sherds) from an Early Cycladic acropolis on Amorgos. A fairly diversified group of domestic ware has been identified, including ‘Amorgos’ and rare types, possibly a tankard and a marble beaker or cup. Compared to stratified evidence from the Cyclades and elsewhere, the chronological range of types falls within EC I/II-EC III A, EC II being the period most heavily represented. In discussing the material with reference to the Cycladic, Helladic and Aegean contexts, attention is drawn to the role of mainland Greece in shaping the local repertory. Noteworthy are the similarities and differences between Tsountas's excavation results and the surface collection of finds retrieved from the same site. Mandres seems to have been sparsely used from the Archaic to the Byzantine periods. Panagitsa, the alluvial formation at its foothills, has yielded traces dating mainly to late antiquity.

24 The grid was set up by the geophysicists Dr A. Sarris, Ch. Karathanassis, E. Vrondaki, K. Georgila, D. Ioannou, and G. Asvestas and the archaeologists Dr E. Yiannouli and Dr E. Karimali. Dr A. Sarris organised the geophysical part of the project. The archaeological survey, designed by Dr E. Yiannouli and Dr E. Karimali, was conducted by them in August 1996 and by Dr E. Yiannouli and G. Gavalas in October 1996 (survey of grid 15).

25 Survey design followed standard practice as developed in the last twenty years, although this is largely concerned with the retrieval of sites over an area of thousands of km2 rather than thousands of m2. We benefited, however, from older and more recent projects, such as the Minnessota–Messenia and the Agiopharango expeditions, the Melos and the Southern Argolid surveys, the Cambridge–Bradford Boeotian expedition or the Kommos project. In adjusting recent practice to a locally intensive reconnaissance, we particularly consulted Cherry, J., Davis, J., and Mantzourani, E., Landscape Archaeology as Long Term History: Northern Keos in the Cycladic Islands (Los Angeles, 1991)Google Scholar. As important were works regrettably published after the completion of our fieldwork, such as Davis, J. et al. ‘The Pylos regional archaeological project, Pt 1’, Hesp. 66 (1997), 391494CrossRefGoogle Scholar and Mee, C. and Forbes, H. (eds), A Rough and Rocky Place: The Landscape and Settlement History of the Methana Peninsula, Greece (Liverpool, 1997)Google Scholar. More recently, see Bintliff, J. et al. , ‘The hidden landscape of prehistoric Greece’, Journal of Mediterranean Archaeology 12 (1999), 139–68Google Scholar and Branigan, K., ‘An experiment in field survey in eastern Crete’, in Betancourt, P.

Wiener as he Enters his 65th Year (Aegaeum, 20; Liège, 1999), 63–7Google Scholar, whose advocation for a standard unit of sherd density comparisons (e.g. 2 m2) was in our case very useful indeed. This is a recent concept that meets modern prerequisites as they matured over decades of practice. Bintliff openly urges for the necessity of a close-order survey in standardized transect blocks that covers the landscape in a continuum, while enabling intraregional comparison, Bintliff, J., ‘The concept of “site” and “off-site” archaeology in surface artefact survey’, in Pasquinucci, M. and Trément, F.

27 Very small numbers of such sherds are encountered in Bronze Age or earlier sites, see more extensively M. Pantelidou-Gofa, ‘Κεραμικά Εργαλεία’, ᾿ Εφ. ἀρχ 1991, 1–13. In Mandres we have discerned tongue-shaped (types α, β), oblong, fan-shaped, lozenge-shaped, drop or leaf-shaped, triangular (types ζ η, θ) and elongated fan-shaped sherds, as well as sherds preserving recognizable, although eroded, vessel parts, such as lugs, handles, and bases, finally sherds resembling stone awls and a category of doubtful sherds. This large sample, on which we hope to elaborate elsewhere, presents a typological diversification comparable to that from Neolithic Nea Makri rather than material published from any other Bronze Age site.

170 Ibid., 306, 309; Renfrew (n. 8), 534–5; Barber–MacGillivray (n. 161), table I. Although the contemporaneity between Kastri and Amorgos groups is often reported, the chronological position of the former directly influences the chronological position of the latter. So Kastri and Amorgos have been considered as part of the Keros–Syros culture of late EC II by Cosmopoulos (n. 82), 47–8, or early EC II for certain Amorgos types, preceding Ag. Irini III, Panormos and Christiana among others, according to Karantzali (n. 14), 8–10, 106, 113; an EC III A dating has been suggested by Barber–MacGillivray (n. 35), 143, which overlaps with Phylakopi I according to Doumas (n. 46), 22–7; or an EC II late–EC III A date overlapping with Phylakopi I, according to Sotirakopoulou (n. 30), 171–4; ead. (n. 38), 309–10. Otherwise Kastri and Amorgos of Keros-Syros culture are seen overlapping with Phylakopi I which is however extending into MC I, as suggested by Renfrew for Amorgos and Naxos at least (n. 8), 194–5, 534–5 or are directly dated to MC I, the horizon of Amorgos, Phylakopi I, and Christiana according to Rutter 1983 (n. 167), 70, n. 10; table on p. 75.

177 For the correlation between Emporio and Troy, Hood (n. 34), 85–91. For the correlation between Thermi I–V and Troy I, Lamb (n. 62), 209; Blegen et al., i (n. 37), 40; Séfèriades, M., Troie I (Paris, 1985), 233Google Scholar, table II. However, C14 samples from Thermi now attribute Thermi I to the Poliochni azzurro horizon or Troy I, which is placed in the first half of the 3rd millennium, while associating Thermi V with Poliochni verde, but not giallo; Begemann, F., Schmitt-Strecker, S., and Pernicka, E., ‘The metal finds from Thermi III–V: a chemical and lead isotope study’, Studia Troica, 2 (1992), 220–1, 224Google Scholar. As earlier stated, the position of Troy I is a hotly debated issue, some placing its start at the end of EB I, cf. Warren–Hankey (n. 162), 11, table 2.1, others at the beginning of the 3rd millennium. Korfmann has suggested the following correlations for EB Troy. Troy I = EB I (Kum Tepe I C)–EB II A; Troy II = EB II B–EB III A; Troy III = EB III A late; Troy IV = EB III B; Troy V = Poliochni bruno, Heraion V, c. 2000 BC. The position of Thermi in particular is seen as corresponding to Troy Ig–IId, i.e. EB II A–B. This is suggested to be the horizon of Poliochni late azzurro, verde, and rosso as well as Heraion I. EB III a and b should correspond with Poliochni giallo and Heraion II–IV Consequently, Troy V marks the beginning of the Middle Bronze around 2000 BC, being contemporary with Poliochni bruno and Heraion V, Korfmann, M., Demircihüyük, Band III2, (Mainz, 1988), 117Google Scholar, fig. 98. Felsch (n. 37), 128 pl.2 also places Heraion I within EB II.

Boulotis in Doumas–La Rosa (n. 62), 382. For Lerna III and Eutresis, cf. Caskey (n. 69) 290, ‘smaller saucers of both shallow and deep varieties tend gradually to replace the bowls and are found in astonishing profusion … a parallel change occured at Eutresis’.

185 It should be remembered that the different parts of the 1996 grid were not of equal size, so the percentages here presented should be useful in terms of analogies rather than absolute values in the strictest sense. However, even a cursory glance at the grid itself would suffice to show that these analogies do not merely hold good but may be strengthened by the size differences observed.
