ABSTRACT
We begin with Rhodes, where the East Greek LG style was probably invented. Its full development can be followed through a sequence of some thirty grave groups from Ialysos, Camirus, and the Lindian village of Exochi. These places supply information about the local burial customs, and about small offerings in gold, silver, and bronze. Metal objects are also well represented among the votives of Athena at Lindos, as are local terracottas and oriental ivories. The Geometric cemeteries of Cos, under the modern capital town, come to an abrupt end in the middle of Rhodian LG. On Samos, as before, virtually all the material is from the Heraion; a local school of pottery combines East Greek and Atticizing ideas, and there are also plenty of terracottas and bronzes, both local and oriental. Two small sanctuaries on Chios, at Kato Phana and Emporio, afford a glimpse of the local LG pottery and bronzes.
