The pins, much mended and in both cases broken at both ends, consists each of a long piece, oval in section for most of the preserved length, but flattened toward the end at which they are attached to the bars; at the point of attachment, they curve around to form a sharp hook, projecting beyond the line of the bar. The outer edge of the pin on a), near the point of attachment, is serrated, and the serrations continue around the edge of the hook part. A similar serrated piece appears to belong to b).; Nothing of any catch at the opposite end is preserved, nor is it clear how bar and pin were fastened together.; ; c) is a plain rounded fragment of a pin perhaps from a similar brooch.","",""

The bulk of the items are pottery, but stone, bone, and metal objects also occur. Selected material from the Neolithic and from the Early and Middle Helladic periods is catalogued by fabric and then shape and forms the basis of detailed discussions of the wares (by technique, shapes, and decoration), the stone and bone objects, and their relative and absolute chronology. The major part of the volume is devoted to the Mycenaean period, the bulk of it to the cemetery of forty-odd tombs and graves with detailed discussions of architectural forms; of funeral rites; of offerings of pottery, bronze, ivory, and jewelry; and of chronology. Pottery from wells, roads, and other deposits as well as individual vases without significant context, augment the pottery from tombs as the basis of a detailed analysis of Mycenaean pottery. A chapter on historical conclusions deals with all areas of Mycenaean Athens.","",""
