la. Spot where a number of lamps (all of the usual archaic open shell form) and some small
and mostly unpainted vases (probably lekythoi) were found.

— . — . — .    Approximate boundaries of the separate divisions.

The North wall of the space for votive gifts seems to have run East and West in a straight line
(— ^ to ?).

Later, when the gifts became too numerous for the allotted space, the court of the temple seems
to have been enlarged by the addition of an irregular wall running in a zigzag, g and k. The large
stones, mostly with quadrangular depressions, are pedestals for statues. On one of them a fragment of
a stone statuette was found in situ.

The numerous stone feet to be seen in the court are fragments of statues and statuettes, mostly
found in situ.    Among them are some life-size and nearly life-size terracotta statues.

Traces of lime mortar (marked with a special mark on the plan) w^ere found on some of the stone
pedestals.

The most usual position for the votive statues is facing S E, or S.

The principal statue of the goddess herself has not been found.

All the votive gifts in human form are (with one solitary exception) figures of the goddess or
women.   The temenos was sacred to Aphrodite.

In the Apollo temenos at Voni I found (1883), with 2 or 8 exceptions, only male figures.

Spot ransacked by the peasants in 1888. In the same year I spent a few hours in digging at
this spot and proved that walls must have stood there. These walls were probably removed by the
peasants.
