Early Minoan Figurines in the Giamalakis Collection

Shortly before the publication of BSA lxvi, containing my paper on ‘Cycladic Figurines and Their Derivatives in Crete’, I had the opportunity to examine a group of unpublished figurines in the Iraklion Museum. I was also able to visit the museum at Rethymno where important new figurines are on display. Altogether eight figurines may be added to the corpus presented in BSA lxvi, and it seems worthwhile publishing brief details of these and bringing the corpus up to date. In fact, however, both these eight and four other examples of Neolithic date enable us to add a little to our earlier discussion of Early Minoan figurines. Thus I offer below a brief description of the new figurines in each Type Group, and follow each Group entry with a short comment on the significance of the new entry.
