Cretan examples show that the perforated side is the underside ; some of them
have feet on this side and a deeper i-ecipient (for heating food ?) above ; the
opening in the base was used, apparently, for
putting in the charcoal and was then closed
with some kind of wad.
Spit-rests ?—Two oblong slabs of coai'se grey
clay burning to red, about -12 m. high and "15
long, broader at the base than at the top, along
which are a series of notches ; perhaps used for
supporting spits, Fig. 189. One has a Perforation
in the lower half. They occur also in Crete.
Fig. 189.—Clay "Spit-best." Talles.—These are earthenwäre discs. The
(i : 4.) example shown in Fig. 190restson a Hat circnlar
base, "21 in diameter. From a point just above
the base spreads a convex rim, concave on the upper side, the centre of which
is occupied by a round projection with a central cavity '04 deep. Ten
impressed lines radiate from the central boss to the circumference. The
füll width is -37.
A seoond specimen, '34 in diameter and "055 in thickness, has traces of a
central boss about "12 in diameter, and an incised line round the edge.
There are sevoral similar fragments with incised patterns. A similar disc
•from Mycenae is in the Museum at Athens (3257). It has a regularly formed
cup in . place of the vertical socket seen in Fig. 190. Inside the cup are
incised rays; and rays appear on the central boss of one of the Phylakopi
fragments. Other examples ocourred at Cnossos and at Gournia in Crete.
There are fragments of another and much larger ' table ' of coarser clay ; it
seems to have been about '90 in diameter, and to have stood on three or four
piain legs about -30 high which tapered to a point below.
Several coarse shovcls or scoops of a familiär Mycenaean type, all imperfect.
One, painted with broad red stripes over yellow wash in the style of the vase
Fig. 104 (p. 134), is '08 in diameter at the base, '20 across the spreading
mouth, 08 high ; the handle is broken. There are two such scoops from
Mycenae in the Athens Museum, Nos. 1124, 2596. Others have been
found at Cnossos, at Praesos and in the Dictaean Cave {B.8.A. vi. p. 105,
Fig. 35, i).
