Abstract

The excavations in the Citadel House area have produced an appreciable number of seals and sealings, of which the importance is increased by the late contexts (LH IIIB 1 or 2, LH IIIC), in which the majority of them were found.Of the eighteen objects discussed here, four are complete seals (nos. 1–3, 5), one is an unfinished seal (no. 4), five are broken beads probably used as seals (nos. 6–10), and eight are sealings (nos. 11–18), of very unequal state of preservation and importance. Four of the latter (nos. 11, 14, 15, 17), are of really fine workmanship and of considerable iconographical interest. Not only are their subjects clearly recognizable, but they are also worth a closer study and discussion, because of their unusual arrangement and the presence of some unexpected details.
