Series·Swedish Cyprus Expedition

Objects: White Painted and other pottery

407 object photographs

Sites: Limassol, Tamassos, Arsos, Bellapais-Vounous, Mari

This series holds 407 photographs of pottery that do not fall into the painted, imported or Red Polished groups and whose museum record names no find-place. Most are White Painted (I to V and Wheel-made), Plain White and Pithos Ware; many prints are captioned simply "Bowls".

Several groups come from outside the expedition's own finds. About 135 captions name the Cyprus Museum; others give inventory numbers of the Statens Historiska Museum in Stockholm or the Metropolitan Museum. Some 26 are from a set marked "KVHAA archive", taken by H. Andersson between 1930 and 1933, some before conservation. Sixteen are captioned with finds from Ayioi Omologitades, Politiko and Limassol, a group that another print in the archive identifies as copied from a 1914 report by Menelaos Markides.

For White Painted pottery from recorded tombs see the Milia and Karpas series. The Site filter's "No recorded place" in the explorer shows the whole unplaced group.
