The South-eastern Aegean Keywords: South-eastern Aegean, Rhodes, Kos, burials, graves, pottery, sanctuary, cremation, inhumation, past Introduction The area of the South-eastern Aegean is defined here as the region known today as the Dodecanese and parts of Anatolia on the opposite coast, like the Halicarnassos peninsula. This area of the Aegean had been under the Minoan cultural influence from as early as the Middle Bronze Age in terms of its material culture and architecture (Georgiadis 2003). The South-eastern Aegean has yielded many remains of the LH III and the EIA, whilst it possesses a strategic position in the Aegean Sea in relation to its contacts and interactions with the Eastern Mediterranean. The traditional forms of explanation for culturalACCEPTAT development and change in this region have focused on migration and the presence of newcomers. In fact, this has been a common denominator in the understanding of the Southern-eastern Aegean equally for the Late Helladic III period and the Early Iron Age. The thorough and up-to-date presentation of the different cultural aspects and periods from this area will demonstrate the regional character and the idiosyncrasies that are visible already from the LH III phase.

München, download unter www.zobodat.at _________ Atalanta (August 1997) 28 (1/2):43-47, Würzburg, ISSN 0171-0079 _________ A contribution to the knowledge of the Papilionidae of Rhodes Island (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae) by G iovanni Sa l a & M a u r iz io Bo llin o received 6.IV. 1996 Introduction In the present work the authors report considerations about distribution, ecology, and syste- matics of the Papilionidae of Rhodes Island, based on direct observations during a spring field-trip (10.-17.IV. 1994) and on works of many authors (Fruhstorfer , Rebel , Turati , Seyer , Weiss , Koçak, Olivier ). Following investigations done on Kriti Papilionidae, the first author visited all the known sites adding some new biotopes; the first intent was searching for the food plants, the preimaginal instars, the places of flight with the feeding plants of adults. The first author, with the cooper­ ation of three collegues, travelled the island for more than 880 km, visiting almost all localities cited by Olivier and trying to look for new biotopes in the southern part of Rhodes; the climatic situation was in syntony with the annual trend although a disturbance in the first days of April has delayed the emergence of populations of All. cerisy at higher altitudes in the center of the island, while those at sea level have already vanished; in the intermediate area the flight period was at its peak; generally the butterflies were scarce, only All. cerisy and Manióla telmessia were found in some numbers. We didn’t find any Archon apollinus despite the search along the whole of Rhodes; we presume that the flight period had already ended for quite a time because, at least, some worn specimens should have been found; if apollinus is present on Rhodes island, it is surely very local and rare.

  • Greek Mouldings of Kos and Rhodes
    GREEK MOULDINGS OF KOS AND RHODES (PLATES 108-109) I. INTRODUCTION JT WAS regrettablethat it had not been possibleto makedrawings of the Dodeca- nesian material to include in the study of the profiles of Greek architectural mouldings published by the American School of Classical Studies at Athens in 1936.' Later opportunity arose 2 to make the drawings, full size with a Maco Template,3but their study was unfortunately delayed.4 The material is presented now as a supple- ment to the original volume. Considerations of printing have, however, made advisable certain changes in form as well as format, but it is hoped that this article may be used with the earlier publication without inconvenience, for the material in the two belongs together. It has not been possible to print all the profiles full size as in the original study, but Figure 1 is retained at full scale. It should be noted, then, in making comparison, that all the other profiles here presented, in Figures 2 through 8, are shown at one-half size. Information and comment regarding each profile, formerly presented in tabular form, is here put into catalogue form. All the same information given previously is included except the proportions. These were published originally as part of the proof of the chronological development noted in each type. Since the general lines of development appear now to have become established, it has not been considered essential to record the proportions. Only two of the Twelve Islands have yielded as yet any considerable Greek archi- tectural remains. Rhodes, with its numerous settlements, was an important seat of 1 L.

Verbreitungskarten aller nachgewiesenen Arten sowie eine aktuelle herpetologische Faunenliste werden erstellt. Folgende Arten wurden regelmäßig und wiederholt festgestellt: Bufo viridis, Hyla arborea, Pelophylax cerigensis, Mauremys rivulata, Hemidactylus turcicus, Laudakia stellio, Ophisops elegans, Lacerta trilineata, Anatolacerta oertzeni, Ablepharus kitaibelii, Chalcides ocellatus, Trachylepis aurata, Blanus strauchi, Typhlops vermicularis, Dolichophis sp., Platyceps najadum, Hemorrhois nummifer, Zamenis situla, Natrix natrix, Telescopus fallax. Der taxonomische Status der Springnatter wird diskutiert. Aufgrund mehrerer aktueller Funde wird Mediodactylus kotschyi ergän- zend zur Herpetofauna von Rhodos hinzugefügt und das Auftreten folgender Arten, deren Vorkommen in der Literatur regelmäßig für Rhodos angegeben wurde, in Frage gestellt: Testudo graeca, Pseudopus apodus, Natrix tessellata. Aktuelle Einzelfunde gelangen von Chamaeleo chamaeleon, Malpolon monspessulanus, Testudo grae- ca und Testudo hermanni, deren Status diskutiert wird.

Teil In der Serie: Ergebnisse der von Dr. 0. PAGET und Dr. E. KRITSCHER auf Rhodos durchgeführten zoologischen Sammelreisen. XVII. Mollusca I Von OLIVER E. PAGET X) (Mit 1 Karte, 2 Abbildungen und 7 Tafeln) Manuskript eingelangt am 1. März 1976 Die Molluskenfauna der Insel Rhodos hat schon vor langer Zeit die Mala- kologen interessiert. Da Rhodos seinem geologischen Aufbau nach dem kleinasiatischen Fest- land zuzurechnen ist, zeigt es darin wesentliche Unterschiede zu Mittel- griechenland und auch zu vielen anderen Inseln des ägäischen Raumes. Es war daher zu erwarten, daß zumindest ein Teil der Fauna dieser Insel ebenfalls eher dem kleinasiatischen als dem mittelgriechischen Gebiet angenähert sein wird. Diese Vermutung wurde durch die Aufsammlungen auch zum Teil be- stätigt, so daß die einige Jahre später im Gebiet der östlichen und südlichen Türkei durchgeführten Aufsammlungen, an denen vom Wiener Naturhistori- schen Museum neben dem Autor noch Dr. E. KRITSCHER und Oberpräparator K. BILEK teilnahmen, sicherlich weitere Bestätigungen dieser Vermutung bringen werden. Die Publikation der bei dieser Reise gefundenen Ergebnisse wird ent- sprechende Unterlagen dafür liefern. So wechselvoll die Geschichte der Insel Rhodos war, so wechselvoll waren auch die Untersuchungen, die die Erforschung der Molluskenfauna dieser Insel zum Ziel hatten. Aus der Zeit der Besetzung durch die Türken, die von 1523—1912 dauerte, stammen die wohl ersten publizierten Aufsammlungen.
