1954年，雅典的美国古典研究学院（American School of Classical Studies）在勒纳（Lerna）进行了挖掘工作，在瓦屋（House of the tile） 11号房间的烧焦残骸中发现了一大批粘土封条。3所代表的封条类型的数量和种类，以及在封闭的沉积物中发现的情况，使得在该遗址全面公布之前对这些材料进行介绍显得很有用。在其他地方发现的几件相关文物在这里得到了通知；第二组相当大的粘土封条是1955年在DM室发现的，靠近“瓦片之家”，经过进一步研究后将完全公布。封条是一块块粘土，在潮湿时压在各种盒子和罐子上，就像这些粘土块底部的标记所表明的那样，然后在每个暴露的表面上印上一两个封条，然后让它变干。在这个房间里发现了143个碎片，可能代表了124个不同的封印和70个不同的封印。密封件的直径从0.015米到0.051米不等，但平均约为0.026米，约有三分之一的密封件直径接近这个数字。碎片之间连接的颜色和类型表明，封条被破坏了，可能是在抢劫过程中，在火灾发生之前，大火烧毁了房子，并通过烘烤来保存封条。封条和被封条封住的物品可能原本就储存在11号房间正上方的空间里，随着上层倒塌而掉落，因为碎片不仅在地板上被发现，而且在碎片中被发现。11号房间只在房子外面开放，因此似乎不太适合作为储藏室。
j N the course of the excavations by the American School of Classical Studies at Athens conducted at Lerna in 1954 2 a large group of clay sealings was found in the burnt debris of Room XI in the House of the Tiles.3 The number and variety of seal types represented and the circumstances of finding, in a closed deposit, make it appear useful to present an account of this material in advance of the general publication of the site. Several related pieces found elsewhere in the excavations receive notice here; a second considerable group of clay sealings found in 1955 in Room DM, near the House of the Tiles, will be fully published after further study. The sealings are lumps of clay which were pressed when moist upon various boxes and jars, as the marks on the undersides of the lumps indicate, then stamped each with one or two seals upon the exposed surface, and allowed to dry. One hundred and forty-three fragments, representing perhaps one hundred and twenty-four different sealings and bearing impressions of seventy different seals, were found in this one room. The diameters of the seals range from 0.015 m. to 0.051 m., but the average is about 0.026 m., and approximately a third of the seals fall close to this figure in diameter. Color and type of joins between fragments indicate that the sealings were broken, possibly in the course of looting, before the fire took place which destroyed the House and preserved the sealings by baking them. The sealings with the objects which they sealed may possibly have been stored originally in the space immediately above Room XI and have fallen as the upper story collapsed, since the fragments were found not only on the floor, but throughout the debris. Room XI opens only on the outside of the House and seems therefore to be poorly adapted as a storeroom.
