Kliding them is on suspension-handles like those of PL VII. 1, usuallyon the
top but sometimes on the edge and sometimes along the two sides of the
edge.1 Another favoiuite spot is on the handles of the beaked jugs; as will
be seen from the details given below, there are several instances of the same
mark occurring on jugs both of Sect. 6 and of Sect. 7. A third place where
one frequently comes across them is on (or close beside) the bottoms of
vases, especially those of the earlier bowls described in Sect. 16, and it
seems to have been a very common practice to place a pair of corresponding
marks on opposite sides of the base, e.g., E 5-6, J 11. Sometimes but more
rarely they are found on the thröat and other parts of the body. They are
by no means confined to painted vases, a good many of them occurring on the
handles and sides of tripod pots and such-like coarse wäre. Whether all the
inscribed fragments of this coarse wäre are of the same period as the
geometric vases I cannot say with certainty.
Of the signs that occur on vase-bottoms by far the most common are the
round dots J 6—11. (The examples given in the table are only specimens of
the various combinations in which the dots are grouped, and probably if we
had a greater number of entire vases we should find groups of more than five
dots.) They are most frequently met with on the geometric cups bf Sect. 7
and the flat bowls of Sect. 15. But whereas the linear signs are scarcely
ever found on the later fabrics, the dot signs continued in common use in the
early Mycenaean style. They are specially chai-acteristic of the wäre of
Sect. 9, such as the Hat cups, PI. XVI. 11-21, and the cups with panelled
designs, Pls. XVI., XVII. Sometimes also the pottery of this period bears
traces of rather coarse marks painted in powdery red on the outside of the base.
A4, B 15, E 5, E 7, G 10? I 4, J 12, and J 13 are almost the only imprcsscd
linear signs that I have observed on the post-geometric painted pottery.
Two or more examples of the same sign are frequently encountered,
though it is noticeably among the more simple marks that we find the great-
est number of replicas. In many cases duplicates of the same sign occur on
different vase-types and even on vases of different fabric. The following list
will show how the impressed marks (exclusive of the dot signs J 6-12) are
distributed among the chief groups concerned.
