Context (Field collection)
Collected from the fields. 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... Karmi Lapatsa... was also selected [as a site for future excavation]' (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).
