IHK EXCAVATIOX.
Untouched graves were eertainly f'ound near Phylakopi about 1S30, and
frorn them coine certain early Melian vases in various European mnseuins,
notably in the collection at Sevres. But native testimony is unanimous that
for many years past no tomb searcber has been rewarded in tbis locality. As
I found several gra'ves worn down almost to their floors, it is probable that
more, priginally cut in the soft rock of the upper hill, bave been completely-
denuded away, and that the emergent vases and otber objects buried with
the corpses have been picked up by shepherds.
