Sent from Knossos. Updating Herbert on progress on the reconstruction of the Throne Room, and an excavation by the Theatral area which had revealed a new complex of pavements and walls and a lot of Geometric pottery. Also discussing that he had heard from [Humfry] Payne that [Spyridon] Marinatos [Director of the Candia Museum] had been sent a stern letter from the Ministry of Archaeology in Athens (related to accusing the BSA of trying to buy vases). Additionally mentioning that he had sent out advertisements for ‘Aegyptiaca’ just before leaving Athens, asking Herbert to send offprints from the [Journal of Egyptian Archaeology of his article ‘Egypt and the Aegean in the Late Bronze Age’] to [Thomas] Peet rather than [Gerald] Wainwright and to send books for the library at Knossos, telling him they had a lull in visitors, and listing cheques [to be paid into John’s bank account]. |
