These two works, dating to the first quarter of the seventh century BC on stylistic grounds, were reportedly found outside graves during the rescue excavations conducted at the necropolis of Tenedos in 1962. The position of Tenedos just to the west of the coastline of ancient Troy has always rendered it a place of importance during Early Archaic networks of interaction and trade. It is argued here that the Early Archaic Tenedian potters who specialized in the manufacture of gray wares bor-rowed elements of the Daedalic style which was already common in other parts of the Aegean, and blended them with their own style, one that had prevailed in the northeast Aegean since the Late Bronze Age. Thus, these two sculptures from the old digs at the Necropolis of Tenedos sheds new light on the presence of Daedalic style in the northeast Aegean.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArkeolojiTarihThe Daedalic Style on Tenedos: New Light from Old DigsReview Article0156103110297206
