Four Early Roman Groups from Knossos

Abstract

The purpose of the present article, which forms one of a series of reports on the Knossos excavations of 1951–61, is to present a cross-section of pottery and other small finds of the early Roman period (first century B.C. to first century A.D.) from Knossos. Three good deposits of this period were found during the work in 1958–61; these, together with a fourth group of similar date found in 1951, are published here. Excluded from the present article is the stratified material of the period from the Royal Road site, which will be published shortly in a general report on the excavations there.
