Recent analysis of preserved fauna from the 1952-58 excavations at Lerna stored in Argos and Stockholm allows us to reexamine the fauna published in 1969 by the late Prof. Nils-Gustaf Gejvall as the first of the Lerna final reports. The first fauna reanalysis was on the Late Helladic II-III material and published in this journal in 2008. The present detailed study of the much earlier Early Helladic II material uses the revised phasing, detailed context information, and fuller analysis of the preserved samples including butchery and burning. The final report on the architecture and pottery for this period was published by Wiencke (2000).

House of the Tiles, Mammals, Marine shells, N.-G. Gejvall

Corresponding author: davidsreesee@yahoo.com, I would like to thank Dr. Martha H. Wiencke for providing phasing and contexts for the various Lerna lots not given in her 2000 volume. My 1984 work on the Lerna shells was conducted while I held the Jacob Hirsch Fellowship at the American School of Classical Studies in Athens. My 2004 research was performed with the aid of the Solow Summer Research Fellowship of the American School. I would like to thank the School and The Solow Art and Architecture Foundation for their support.
