Proceedings of the Danish Institute at Athens: Volume 1

This volume, the first in a new series, brings together studies by a range of Danish scholars. The emphasis is on archaeology, reflecting the main sphere of activity of the institute, but future volumes will include contributions from the fields of ancient and modern Greek history, classical philology and cultural studies. This book deals with work by Danish archaeologists in Crete, Rhodes, Argos, in Athens itself (the Kerameikos necropolis) and in Halikarnassos (now Bodrum) on the west coast of present-day Turkey. The final essay discusses the use of abbreviations in ancient literature, exemplified by the Armenian version of a late-Roman text. Contributors to this volume include: Erik Hallager, Sanne H. Houby-Hielsen, Signe Isager, Henning Lehmann, P.A. Mountjoy, Birte Poulsen and Ingrid Strom. Soren Dietz is the author of The Argolid at the Transition to the Mycenean Age .
