Context (Field collection)
Collected by James Stewart, British School at Athens, likely in 1937-1938 during the excavations at Vounous. According to Eve Stewart, 'at weekends, he and his foreman, Tryphonas Koulermos, often explored other Bronze Age sites on the north of the island; they collected sherds from Deneia, Mavro Nero, Dikomo and Vasilia among other sites' (Stewart, Eve. (2013). ‘Eve Stewart on James Stewart’. In Knapp, A.B, Webb, J.M. and McCarthy, A. (eds). JRB Stewart: An Archaeological Legacy. Studies in Mediterranean Archaeology, 139. Uppsala: P. Aströms Förlag. pp. xiii).
