| Scope and Content |
Written at Myriophyto, Chalkidiki. About progress on digging trial pits at Myriophyto (Hagios Mamas near Olynthos) including finding vases “which succeed in giving a lot of evidence for the Anatolian origin of the Greek race”, the journey through floods from Molyvopyrgos to get there, their accommodation in a house belonging to “Professor Ridgeway”, plans to either excavate another mound on the way or Salonika [Thessaloníki] or go straight to Salonika [Thessaloníki] when they finished. John also mentions that he waded into the Olynthos river to photograph “Refugees or the Tribal Migration” [see PEN 2/2/1/272 for the photograph], that Radford [part of excavating party for the BSA] talked too much, and the weather had improved. |
