This report is divided chronologically: Middle Helladic, Geometric, Archaic, Classical, Roman, Byzantine, and Frankish. Each chapter consists of a brief description of the remains in the field, followed by a catalogue of the finds. While earlier finds are mainly of wells, the Classical settlement was the size of a large village providing everyday finds of bronze, lead, iron, and pottery. Some fragments of terracotta figurines and amber suggest a certain amount of wealth, but the primary character of the whole site is agricultural. Roman and Frankish remains are primarily funerary.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"American School of Classical Studies at Athen","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47969832206487,"sku":"9780876615218","price":5798.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780876615218.webp?v=1782924582","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/excavations-at-pylos-in-elis-9780876615218","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
