Rituals and Votive Offerings at the Sanctuary of Demeter in Kaunos
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The sanctuary of Demeter at Kaunos is one of seven sanctuaries of Demeter in Caria. The rocky outcrops at the sanctuary of Demeter in Kaunos, which were the stages for rituals, were central elements in the celebration of festivals and rituals performed in honour of Demeter at Kaunos. Numerous votives recovered from the cavities of the rocky outcrops were a special form of votive offerings and deposition practiced at this site. The votives consist of clay figurines, miniature pottery, kernoi, coins, and 60 thousand miniature lamps. A special feature of the clay figurines of young and mature men is holes in their hands, which served for the offering of small branches. The present article proposes an interpretation of the rocky outcrops, libation, hydrophoroi, food offerings, kernoi, male figurines holding branches, and lamps used at the rituals of Demeter. The features of the sanctuary of Demeter at Kaunos and its rich votive deposits have the potential to enrich our understanding of the Carian cults of Demeter.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
