Ancient Vitsa in the Archaeological Museum of Ioannina.

Yesterday I spent a very productive few hours at the Archaeological Museum of Ioannina, looking closely at the finds from Ancient Vitsa and from Dodona, as well as from other parts of Epirus.

I will post photographs of the some of the most important Vitsa finds. I include a few below. I would also like to pay tribute to the work of an old friend, the archaeologist, excavator and museum director, Dr. Ioulia Vokotopoulou (1939-1995). Her three-volume work, "Vitsa, The cemeteries of a Molossian settlement", Ministry of Culture, Athens, 1986, is an essential reference work in connection to a visit to Vitsa and to the museum. Volume 1 has an invaluable summary in English, pp 351-377.
