This album features the small finds excavated during the British team’s 1939 season at Mycenae. Photographs are arranged in order of registered find number. At the end of the sequence, unregistered sherds are arranged according to their ‘P’ (full photographic plate) series negative number. ‘P1’ and ‘P21’ are images of sherds excavated during the 1920-1921 seasons, but they are incorporated in the 1939 series, when they were studied and photographed for the first time. The archive often holds duplicate prints of the same photograph. When this is the case, the image on view here is identified by its ‘part’ (or piece) number.
Under the 'More' menu you can find metadata about the item, and information about sharing this image.
