“…The sanctuary of Demeter was not equally rich in the kind of stone sculpture mentioned by Kalokairinos, but yielded one Hellenistic marble statue identified with Kore, and several fragments of marble figures, figurines and reliefs, in addition to three inscribed marble pieces, all of Hellenistic or Roman date 31 . Geoffrey Waywell explained: ‘That so few marble figures were found … merely testifies to the zealous activities of stone robbers and lime burners in this area in later times' (Waywell 1973, 97). Following the testimony of Kalokairinos (and Sandwith), one should add clandestine excavators to this list.…”

“…They may be among the statues found later at the sanctuary of Demeter, or could come from the Roman tombs that are located in the area, as noted above. Another possible provenance is indicated by the discovery of a small Hellenistic marble statue of a Nike south of the bridge over the Vlychia stream (Waywell 1973, 97–8; Hood and Smyth 1981, 56 no. 287).…”

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.
