Title: Halae Excavations Archive
Date(s): 1911-1931
Language(s): English
Summary: The excavations at the site of Halae in Lokris were conducted by Hetty Goldman and Alice L. Walker (Kosmopoulos) from 1911-1914 and in 1921, 1923, 1931. In 1921 Piet de Jong made the drawings of architectural details and the general plan, while in 1931 Goldman and Walker were assisted by Virginia Grace. Renewed excavations took place in the 1990s as part of the Cornell Halai and East Lokris Project (CHELP) under the direction of John E. Coleman. The Halae Excavations Archive contains excavation notebooks, reports, plans and drawings, photographs/lantern slides & negatives, correspondence and records associated with the study and publication of the material, such as inventory cards and manuscripts of publications.

SCOPE AND CONTENT
Halae, a small ancient town in East or Opuntian Lokris, is situated by the sea on the eastern shore of the bay called in modern times the Bay of Atalante. The site falls within the boundaries of the modern town of Theologos. The earlier excavations have shown that Halae had a fortified acropolis in classical times which continued to be occupied until Late Roman or Byzantine times and that extensive Neolithic deposits underlay the classical ones. Two hundred and eighty tombs of Archaic, Classical, and Hellenistic date were also excavated near the outer boundaries of the town to the north and east of the acropolis.
The excavation at the Acropolis of Halae (Halai) begun in 1911 by Alice Leslie Walker Kosmopoulos and Hetty Goldman, continued as a joint enterprise until the outbreak of World War I in 1914. Goldman returned alone three times since Walker-Kosmopoulos was unable to join her. Further campaigns took place in 1921, 1923, 1931, and 1935. In 1921 Piet de Jong made the drawings of architectural details and the general plan, to which such parts of the circuit wall as were later excavated have been added, partly by de Jong himself, and partly by Ann M. H. Ehrich. In 1923 about four weeks of work saw the completion of the sanctuary area and additional excavation at the North-east Gate. In the spring of 1931 a campaign of five weeks was devoted chiefly to the prehistoric area underlying the temple square but served also for study and to uncover further details of the fortification. In 1931 Goldman and Walker were assisted by Virginia Grace.
The twenty years which elapsed between the initial campaign of 1911 and the final one of 1931 were in part years of war and upheaval in Greece, but the delay in completing the work at Halai was due as much to personal as to political and economic reasons. The campaigns from 1911 to 1914 were described in a preliminary report, and the inscriptions discovered were published separately. Goldman and Walker both completed doctoral dissertations on finds from the tombs excavated in the first four campaigns. No preliminary reports for these campaigns were issued, although Goldman published a few finds from the acropolis. Although the work of 1911-1935 was never published in full detail, Goldman eventually produced a long and invaluable article summarizing the Greek and Roman finds on the acropolis and co-authored another on the terracotta sculpture from the tombs. Robert Bridges has been studying the Neolithic finds from the earlier excavations. In 1988 and 1989 the Greek Archaeological Service excavated several dozen additional tombs to the east of the acropolis, while an intensive surface survey was carried out in 1988/1989 co-directed by John E. Coleman and William M. Murray as part of a long-term regional archaeological survey and excavation project, the Cornell Halai and East Lokris Project (CHELP). The overall aim of CHELP was to record and study the archaeological and environmental evidence for human activity from the beginning of the Neolithic period until Byzantine times.The Greek and Roman finds from the earlier excavations were deposited in the Archaeological Museum in Thebes, the Neolithic finds in the National Archaeological Museum in Athens.
The Halae Excavations Archive is organized in two Series (Series I & II). All excavation records, such as excavation notebooks, inventory cards, plans and drawings, photographs/lantern slides and negatives are catalogued under Series I. Series II contains all material related to the study and publication of the excavation, such as reports, manuscripts of publications and correspondence.
[After Goldman in Hesperia 9 (1940), 381-514 and Coleman in Hesperia 61 (1992), 265-289]
