Summary
A systematic classification of ancient fastening elements from the Heraion of Samos reveals distinct functional categories and subtypes, offering new insights into the technical sophistication of ancient Greek construction. The study identifies main groups based on function—such as nails, pins, and rivets—and further subdivides them by form or application, providing a framework that can be updated with future discoveries. This typology enhances our understanding of ancient craftsmanship and architectural practices at this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
