Proposed removal of architectural members of the Temple of Amyklaian Apollo from chapels in Amykles in Lakonia: theory and practice
Abstract
Marble architectural members, some of which certainly belong to the architectural complex of the Sanctuary of Apollo at ancient Amyklai, are built into the walls of the chapels of the Prophet Elijah and Sts Theodore in the hamlet of Amykles (formerly Sklavochori), south of Sparta. In the context of the works connected with the research project on the Sanctuary of Amyklaian Apollo (designed to permit study and display of the monument), it was judged expedient to remove certain particularly characteristic architectural members from the walls of these chapels. The article aims to explore issues of theory and practice in relation to the proposed removal work. The desirability of the work is analyzed and the methodology of the proposal presented. Finally the structural issues raised by the removal of stones from a body of masonry will be examined
