{109. Later Phase of West Magazines, Upper and Lower—'Cereal'
Tablets and Basement Oil Storage : Types of Oil Jars or Pithoi.
Discovery of Standard Weight—' Balance ' and ' Ingot' Signs on
Clay Inventories.
Clay settlings counter marked by signs of Script B— derived, with tablets,
from upper chambers; The Upper West Magazines; Stored grains and
• Granary' tablets precipitated into Lower Magazine }; Bifid vegetable
slm—perhaps Millet—suggestive of Millet beer; Appearance on lentoid
signet; Barley sign—ears moulded on jugs, also oat-like sprays ; Enclave of
' Kaselles'—once Treasure Cists ; Larger vats for oil; Final phase of West
Magazines—oil storage predominant, with superficial basins; Degenerate
survival of' Medallion ' type among later pithoi; True ' Medallion' pithoi on
earlier floors, others transferred to later floors; Evidence of original plait-
work bands on ' Medallion' pithoi / Its bearing on steatite examples found in
'Atreus' tomb ; M. M. Ill prototypes of normal pithoi of L. M. II Class ;
L. M. I b inscribed pithoi from Phaestos; Influence of L.M. I painted
designs on pithoi of later class—plant designs, loop decoration and sacral
' Adder mark '; Rim profiles of pithoi ; ' Bottle-shaped' class derived from
basketry ; Evidence of about 200 pithoi in position—accommodation for fSo
in W. Magazines ; Estimate of total oil storage; Roofing over of Magazines
