Originally published in 1934, this book analyses the archaeological findings from a number of graves at Rhitsona, excavated between 1909 and 1922. The finds include a great amount of archaic pottery, archaic and classical figurines, glass, beads and metal objects. Ure breaks down the discussion by artefact type, and supplies a great number of images of the grave goods and the locations in which they were found.
