Abstract
TN this volume of the “Annual” the director and students of the British School at Athens describe the excavations at Sparta during the year 1907. The work at the temple of Artemis Orthia was carried on very successfully, and the results are most important for our knowledge of Laconian art of the early period (eighth to sixth centuries B.C.). Taking all in all, the early Spartans seem to have been much more civilised than one would have expected; and if, as is supposed by Mr. Droop, the so-called Cyrenaic style of vase-painting is really Spartan, they seem to have been originative artists.
