Place Sparta Menelaion: Mycenaean site
Dates 1910
Donor/Creator The British School at Athens
Project Sparta Excavation 1906-1910
Scope and Content Part of the collection of images, 1906-1910, of the British School at Athens excavations at Sparta, Laconia. The original description in the SPHS register reads: "Mycenaean vases. Sparta 1910".
Notes The annotation on the border of the negative (A49413) is written on SPHS 7840 to 7844 and SPHS 8301 to 8307. The number may refer to a film roll and the dates of the images must be the same. Several of these (SPHS 7841 to 7844) are dated to 1910 in the negative register. Most of the images are similar views of inscribed stones, but SPHS 7340 shows the process of raising the inscribed stones from the ditch and SPHS 8302 to 8304 are images of pottery. This is the same image as BSA SPHS 01/4094.8302; the individual kraters were photographed separately (see related records).

The image is duplicated in slide format in the Ashmolean Lantern Slide Teaching Collection, Oxford University, catalogue number XJ193 as "L.M.III cups, spirals, Cyprus". Cyprus is probably an incorrect identification.
