PROTOGEOMETRIC SKYROS AND EUBOEA

Abstract

Summary. Archaeological evidence indicates that during the Protogeometric period Skyros and Euboea shared several features. The striking similarity, both in style and fabric, between some of the vases found on Skyros and those from Lefkandi in Euboea, made us suspect that some of the Skyrian vases might actually have been imported from Lefkandi. Thanks to Mrs. R. Andreadis, whose private Collection includes Protogeometric vases found on Skyros and who allowed us to take samples from thirteen of them, this assumption was tested. The Research Laboratory of Archaeology and the History of Art in Oxford agreed to analyse them together with samples from the clay‐beds on Skyros for comparison with the existing Lefkandi data. Assessment of the results supports a Euboean source for most of the vases analysed and strengthesn the link between the two areas, in which Euboea seems to be the supplier of most of the pottery found on Skyros in the Protogeometric period.
