Das Heiligtum der Artemis Hemera in Lousoi

Kleinfunde aus den Grabungen 1986–2000 (2012)

The volume under review is the second monographdedicated to the Sanctuary of Artemis Hemera in Arcadia, following a study of the Hellenistic cups with reliefdecoration published in 2008 (C. Rogl, Die hellenistischen Reliefbecher aus Lousoi: Material aus denGrabungen im Bereich Phournoi 1983–1994. Ergänzungshefte zu den Jahresheften des Österreichischen Archäologischen 10 [Vienna 2012]). It focuses on the small ands from the excavations conducted at the site by the Austrian Archaeological Institute between 1986and 2000. The author structures her study in 14 un-equally lengthy chapters. Bibliographical references(11–28) and numerous black-and-white plates framethe analytical parts of the volume. While the surprisingly brief chapters 1–4 discuss more general aspects, suchas the presence of the sanctuary in ancient literary andepigraphic sources, the topography of the sanctuary and its possible associations with the surrounding cities and the history of the excavations, chapters 5–11, represent the main part of the study and are entirely dedicated to the analysis of the small ands. Chapters 12–14 are summaries in German, English, and modern Greek
