Card base with one print plan and eight black and white photographs attached, labelled with the pasted letters a-i. The number 324 is pasted in the lower left corner. "Ithaca" is written in ink in the lower right corner. Each item has beside it a later annotation in pencil giving a bibliographic reference. The original description in the catalogue reads: "Section of the Aëtos Sanctuary Site (a), showing earlier geometric stratum (before c. 750 B.C.), partly separated by an ancient wall and platform from the later, in which Corinthian influence modifies the peculiar local style. Characteristic vases of successive styles:- b, c. Corinthian imports, (b) geometric: before 800 B.C.: (c) late proto-Corinthian: c. 650B.C. d. Local style: 850-800 B.C. e. Imitation of Corinthian-geometric, but on a very large scale (c. 850 B.C) f. Sub-geometric local style (750-700 B.C.) g. Local fabric, but fine imitation of Corinthian decoration: c. 750 B.C. h. Black-figured technique imitated from proto-Corinthian, but giving totally different effect on so large a scale. i. Closely imitated vases from Afráti in Crete; perhaps a Cretan import: the shape is copied from metal: 700-650 B.C." |
