XVII. SPARTA (cont.)

The following scarabs are of interest as providing two of the earliest objects yet
found on the Mainland. It is curious that at Sparta there is to be found such a
deposit, covering a period of over a thousand years and proving that the Geometric
Spartan was not above buying "genuine antiques" on his travels, for obviously these
must have been so acquired. The references are to the full publication of the Sanctuary
of Artemis Orthia, Chapter XI, Section 3.
