| Summary: | The following article is a direct continuation of that which has just appeared in the Annual of the British School at Athens, Vol. xiv. pp. 226 to 318, and must be read in the light of the general introduction to the whole excavations there given. It is enough to say here that part of the Necropolis of Rhitsóna, five miles on the Boeotian side of Chalcis, the conjectured site of the ancient Mycalessos, was excavated by the writers in the autumn of 1907 and the spring of 1908; and that the vase finds were so considerable that they have had to be divided up between several articles. In the B.S.A. referred to there were published general sections on Topography, History, and Method of Burial, the Catalogue of eight Graves, and a discussion of their Dating and of what we have decided to call the Boeotian Kylix Style. The present article will contain the Catalogue of four more graves, a description of two individual vases from the B.S.A. graves now reproduced in colours, and general sections on the meaning of our incised Inscriptions, and the provenance of some of our vase types. |
