Excerpt from The Excavations at Cyrene, First Campaign, 1910-1911: Preliminary Reports When the irade for the excavation of Cyrene was granted, in May, 1910, I at once went out to look over the country more carefully than had been possible on my previous trips. An ao count of this journey has already been printed, l and monthly reports were prepared and submitted, describing the progress of the work from October, 1910, to May, 1911. In the fol lowing pages I shall give a resume of the year's results and suggest what we hope to accomplish the coming season. The reports by the other members of the staff will deal in greater detail with certain aspects of the work. It is possible that their views and mine may not coincide, though, as we are working together in the closest sense, I do not foresee any serious divergencies of opinion. Whether there are or not, my companions will enjoy the same freedom and Opportunities for expressing their views that I have.
