§ III.—Prehistoric Pottery

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  11 October 2013

Extract

This pottery was picked up by Mr. Blegen of the American School and myself on a low mound on the edge of the Bereketli marsh, which is the source of the Angista and other streams which water the plain of Drama. The mound is about one hundred yards south of the Drama-Kavalla road at the eighteenth kilometre, that is about two kilometres east of Philippi, nearly midway between Drama and Kavalla and at the spot where stands the great stone with the inscription to Caius Vibius, hence the name of the spot ‘Dikilitash,’ the ‘Upright Stone.’ It should be noted that all the pottery was picked up on the surface and no sort of excavation was made.
