“…However, Kalokairinos donated these pieces to the National Archaeological Museum of Athens through the aid of Philippos Ioannou, Professor of Philology at the University at Athens, whereas Ioannis Fotiades sold Cretan antiquities to another Professor of the University of Athens, Athanasios Rhousopoulos, who was a well-known dealer 64 . Rhousopoulos had a reputation as a collector of coins (Galanakis 2011, 172, 192), so the silver piece that Fotiades acquired from Kalokairinos's dig may have reached his collection, which included numerous examples of this coin type (Hirsch 1905, 176–7, nos 2970–83).…”

Minos Kalokairinos is renowned for his discovery of the Minoan palace of Knossos. However, his pioneering investigations of the topography and monuments of Greek and Roman Knossos, as laid out especially in his Cretan Archaeological Journal, have largely been overlooked. In the Journal, Kalokairinos offers invaluable information on the changing archaeological landscape of Knossos in the second half of the nineteenth century. This enables the identification of several unknown or lost monuments, including major structures, inscriptions and sculptures, and allows the location of the context of discovery to be assigned to specific parts of the ancient city. Additionally, the Journal offers glimpses into the collection of Knossian antiquities and their export beyond the island. Antiquities from the site ended up in Athens, and as far afield as Egypt and western Europe, and have hitherto been considered as unprovenanced. They are here identified as Knossian and are traced to their specific context of discovery, with considerable implications for our understanding of the topography, the monuments and the epigraphic record of the ancient city.

The legislation drafted by Georg Ludwig von Maurer in 1834 in the newly established Kingdom of Greece is generally considered pivotal when it comes to European heritage protection efforts in terms of its comprehensiveness and national agenda. The earlier legislative efforts, however, by Ioannis Kapodistrias and Andreas Moustoxydis are less known particularly outside of Greek scholarship. This paper examines the differences and similarities between these early efforts. Of particular interest is the language used to define what required legal protection and how the ensuing measures were justified and implemented. It is argued that the ineffectiveness and problematic enforcement of the 1834 law in the 19th century was due to its overly prescriptive nature, an aspect that earlier efforts tried to streamline being more pragmatic to the conditions existing in modern Greece and inspired by similar examples in other countries. This paper attempts to contextualise the drafting of these measures politically and economically and to compare them to those taken by the Stato Pontificio. It is argued that the legislators of the Greek measures were primarily guided by concerns and debates already existing in Europe at the time, such as the involvement of the State and of private individuals in antiquities collection and conservation. What therefore emerges as of prime concern to the legislators are the political, economic and cultural benefits of antiquities and of making use of the symbolic capital that they had to offer to those involved in their protection and control.
