Kouroi and Necropolis of Tenea. Publication of the Graves and the Sculpture in the Regional Context

2010年迈伊，希腊警方查获了两个真人大小的库罗伊，可以追溯到6世纪最后三分之一。这是过去几十年来希腊塑料中最重要的新发现之一。由于被逮捕的寻宝者的陈述，也有可能挖掘出相应的墓地。墓地延伸到从科林斯到阿尔戈斯的道路Kontoporeia的两侧。在挖掘过程中，发现了77座从公元前6世纪到公元前4世纪的坟墓。所有的墓穴都是原封不动的，除了埋葬的身体的遗骸外，还有埋葬的物品。也有可能确定属于所涉库罗人的坟墓。因此，不仅第一次能够安全地重建古墓Kouroi的竖立，而且由于各自的埋葬对象，还可以进一步确保晚古塑料的静止年代。该项目的目的是在科林西亚更多墓地的背景下，对死亡区和两个库罗墓地进行科学评估和公布。

In Mai 2010, the Greek police was able to seize two life-sized kouroi dating back to the last third of the 6th century. It is one of the most important new findings among Greek plastics during the last decades. Due to the statements given by the arrested treasure hunters, it was also possible to excavate the corresponding necropolis. The necropolis stretched out over both sides of an road, the Kontoporeia, that led from Korinth to Argos. In the course of the excavation, 77 tombs were uncovered dating from the 6th century untill the 4th century BC. All of the tombs were untouched and contained, besides the remains of the buried bodies, also burial objects. It was also possible to identify the tombs belonging to the kouroi in question. Thus, one is not only able for the first time to securely recontruct the erection of archaic grave kouroi but, due to the respective burial objects, the stilistic dating of late-archaic plastics can also be further ensured. The aim of the project is the scientific evaluation and publication of the necoropolis and of the two grave kouroi in the context of further burial sites in the Korinthia.
