Popis: At a time when actual excavation is out of the question in most parts of the world, archaeological field work is limited to removal of dirt and dust from objects at hand, often with unexpected results. The dagger shown in the accompanying illustration was acquired only recently by the Johns Hopkins University Museum. It was one of the objects in a collection of primarily Greek and Roman minor art which was presented about a year ago to the University.' Though it is representative of a now well-established type," specimens in such a good state of preservation are still rare enough to warrant prompt publication. Its provenience, the region of IHama in Syria," is also of interest in view of Ingholt's recent excavations at that site.'
