Latin Verse Inscriptions In Late Anglo-Saxon Art, Elizabeth Teviotdale
Latin Verse Inscriptions In Late Anglo-Saxon Art, Elizabeth Teviotdale
Elizabeth C Teviotdale
Examines the inscriptions in seven manuscripts and on a portable altar. All of the inscriptions are hexameters. Argues that the Anglo-Saxons understood the poetry to be an essentially written and visual (as opposed to oral) art form and that, even as the literary pretensions of the poetry declined during the course of the late Anglo-Saxon period, the presentation of the poetry increased in its sophistication.

The Kavousi Coarse Wares: A Bronze Age Chronology For Survey In The Mirabello Area, East Crete, Donald C. Haggis, Margaret S. Mook

This paper presents the results of the Kavousi-Thriphti Survey coarse-ware study. It is argued that coarse utilitarian pottery can be used for dating sites in archaeological survey, and further, that coarse pottery on the surface of any site with a domestic or storage function may represent a wider, and thus more accurate, chronological range than the associated fine wares. Detailed descriptions of 18 coarse fabric types identified in the survey region are presented. Thirteen of these fabrics were determined to be chronologically diagnostic. These fabric types, with their proposed chronological ranges and proveniences, provide sufficient data to begin analyzing the …

The Kalo Khorio Archaeological Rescue Project (KARP) is the excavation of a Middle Minoan (I-II) cemetery in the region of Kalo Khorio-Istron, at the southern edge of the Bay of Mirabella in eastern Crete. Excavation was conducted in September 1991 by members of the American School of Classical Studies at Athens, and under the auspices and general directorship of Metaxia Tsipopoulou and Costis Davaras of the Greek Archaeological Service of eastern Crete.

The Late Minoan Iiic Pottery From The Kastro At Kavousi, East Crete, Margaret S. Mook, William D.E. Coulson
Margaret S. Mook
The last phase of the Bronze Age on Crete, Late Minoan IIIC, is poorly understood both culturally and chronologically. Although much has been said about the shapes and decoration of LM IIIC pottery, the analyses are primarily stylistic and lack a precise stratigraphical basis. The stylistic development within the pottery sequence is ill defined because the remains from type sites (such as Kastri, Karphi, and Phaistos) are incompletely published, extremely meager, or stratigraphically discontinuous. On the Kastro at Kavousi, however, three distinct chronological phases of LM IIIC occupation, representing the entirety of the period, in addition to a transitional LM …

This exhibition catalogue accompanied the exhibition of the same name shown at the Gardner Museum in 1993. The exhibition featured the fusuma and folding screen sets owned by the Gardner of generally seventeenth century Kano authorship. The catalogue essay discusses the relationship between Mrs. Gardner and Japanese art critic Okakura Kakuzō during the years 1904 to 1913 and the development of the Chinese Room. The painting "Two Dragons Contending for the Moon" by Yokoyama Taikan (ca. 1904/5) and his quick sketch inside the cover of Mrs. Gardner's guest book (discovered and identified by Weston) were included in the exhibition.
