MINOR ANTIQUITIES OF METAL, BOKE, TVORY AND STONE. 191
A small pricker, XXXVIII. 11, with squared tang and remains of a
wooden handle formerly perceptible; length -055 ; cf. 'E<£. 'Ap%. 1899, iriv. x.
9 and 12, and p. 102, where it is stated that in the tombs of Syra these
implements are usually associated with needles; cf. also the supposed
tattooing-needle in Blinkenbeig, Ant. jpHmye. p. 49.
Two fragments of quadrangular bars, the longer '17 in length.
Fragments of a basin-öf thin hammered sheet-copper with rihi and two
handles riveted on; probably about '15 deep and -30 in diameter; found in
room G 3:3 of the Third City.
A small socketed cone-shaped object, XXXVIII. 30, with a hole at
the apex ; length -04.
A lump of copper waste, and pieces of copper ore ädhering to the
bottom of a crucible made of very coarse clay, show that copper was smolted

at Phylakopi. Of the crucible only the bottom is preservcd ; it was found
in J 2 at a depth of 2"20 to 3'20 m.
The process of casting is illustrated b}' two fragments of moulds. The
simpler (Fig. 1G1), made of coarse-grained micaceous stone, is part of a
mould for a double axe. The matrix, is '065 wide, and, in its present broken
state, '08 long; it deepens towards the centre. The whole fragment
measures 11 b)1 "10. Two flattish depressions in the lip show where a core
was inserted to form the haft-hole; a thiixl near one end is a duct for the
metal. It had ä cover which may have been lashed. The fi'agment of a
more complcx mould, made of argillaceous schist, has four holes along its
edge for kej'ing it to the other half-mould, placed at intervals of 017,
aiternately large and small ; the larger holes contained metal, presumably
bronze, pins, which were secured b)- a running of lead from a groove along
the exterior: the smaller holes were sockets for the ]iins 23rojecting from fche
other half of the mould. The surviving part of the matrix shows that it
was a mould for some flat instrument, probably an axe. It is much injured
by fire ; length -06, width 1)7.
