A Guide to the Stratigraphical Museum.
3
the catalogue is as follows :—Serial Number; Description of Place; Vertical
Divisions, if any, with number of boxes to each; Total Number of Boxes; Year
of Excavation.
It will be noticed that many titles display unfamiliar names. These
descend from the early days of the dig, though there is no example of the title
' The Great Tank ' for the Grand Staircase. In all these cases I give the modern
equivalent.
It is hoped some day to complete the gigantic task of publishing the details
and dating of the pottery in each box; it has indeed already been begun.
Meanwhile this guide may be of some assistance to those wishing to study it
for themselves. But I should be very much obliged if anyone who has been
through any of the boxes would inform me of their contents, since in this way
the final publication will be considerably hastened. It is proposed to issue
details of dating every year to those who wish to keep their copy up to date.
In the store-room north of the Throne Room, in the first compartment, is
a complete Type Series of sherds from every period. As far as possible these
typical sherds have been taken from the fifty odd boxes whose provenance is
unknown. Besides the boxes containing the Neolithic and Minoan sherds are
those containing Protogeometric, Geometric, Hellenic, Hellenistic and Roman.
This Type Series should provide a sound basis for anyone wishing to begin the
study of Minoan Potter}-.
