“Excavations at the Cave of Trapeza” B.S.A. album [PEN/4/3/1], Volume, “Excavations at the Cave of Trapeza” B.S.A. album, 1936

Photograph album prepared for the 1936 BSA exhibition (probably by Mercy Money-Coutts according to a note left inside). Contains a brief description of the cave and explanation of the excavation; maps and plans of Crete, the Lasithi Plain and Trapeza cave; a list of sites in the Lasithi Plain; diagrams of finds from the cave; and photographs of the cave, surrounding landscape and finds. A significant number of photographs were taken out of the volume, and are most likely the loose photographs which have been added here. 4 photographs (items number 31-34) have been placed back into the album as it was clear where they had come from. The maps, plans and diagrams are all exactly the same as those published in ‘Excavations in the Plain of Lasithi. I. The Cave of Trapeza’ by H. W. Pendlebury, J. D. S. Pendlebury and M. B. Money-Coutts, in The Annual of the British School at Athens, Vol. 36 (1935/1936), pp. 5-131. Some of the photographs in the album and the loose photographs are the same as those published, others appear to be the published items prior to restoration. All of the photographs (besides a landscape panorama and one more landscape photograph) are prints from negatives in PEN 4/3/3. The “Tr” numbers (which the photographs are labelled with) relate to negatives (in PEN 4/3/3), to photograph numbers in the excavation notebook PEN 4/1/2 and negative numbers in “photographic catalogue” in excavation notebook PEN 4/1/1.
