Helen Wace 1939 Diary, 1939
Scope and Contents
9 loose leaves from a personal diary written by Helen Wace during the 1939 excavation season between July and August. Much like a day book in terms of content, she records daily life - such as walks, picnics, swims and visitors to the site, Lisa having a cold and being bitten by a dog - in between documenting the discovery of Mycenaean skeletons, pots and ivories and the sorting and cataloguing of finds.
