Marine Style Pottery from the Seraglio in Kos
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 September 2013
Abstract
This paper gives a preliminary publication of the Marine Style pottery found during excavations at the Seraglio in 1980 and 1981. The pottery has an importance for the history of the south-eastern Aegean and Miletus, following the eruption of the volcano at Santorini, and for this reason is presented here in advance of the final publication.

1 The V. and D. Vasileiou plot at the corner of Aghias Paraskevis and El. Venizelou streets. The excavation was carried out on behalf of the 22nd Ephoreia of Antiquities at intervals from August 1980 to September 1981. The material is stored in the Kos Museum.
2 Four successive ‘cities’ were observed by L. Morricone, the pre-war excavator of the site—Seraglio. The recent excavations revealed two earlier strata, pre-dating the MM IIIB–LM IA settlement.
