ASIA MINOR.

LONG-NECKED JUG. Ht. 9 in. From Yortan, as A 1, etc.

As last, but body flattened laterally, the two halves meeting
in a vertical ridee ; the neck is wider, and the handle is a twisted
loop. Light grey clay with stony particles and remains of polish.
(Fig- 10.)

[The ridged form indicates a metal origin. An almost identical vase
comes from Troy : S.S. 636.]

DISH. Diam. 3J in. From Yortan, as A 1, etc.

Shallow curved shape with flat raised foot. The rim is
pierced with a pair of small holes. Light grey clay. (Fig. 11.)

BOWL. Diam. 7 in. From Yortan, as A 1, etc. Plate II.

Hemispherical shape with flat base and turned-in lip.
Just below the shoulder is a triangular knob. Light brown
clay with black discoloration ; rough unpolished ware.

BOWL. Diam. 4} in. From Yortan, as A 1, etc.

As last, but shallow and with sharp shoulder, on which
is a pierced lug. Polished grey-black ware. (Fig. 12.)

[The form is the prototype of the Cycladic bowls, A 348, etc. It
occurs also in Troy I, S..S-. 24.

JAR. Ht. 2~ in. From Yortan, as A r, etc. Plate II.

Globular body with flattened base, plain lip, and a vertically
pierced lug on each side of widest part of body. Between the lip
and the pierced lugs on each side a hole is bored through the wall
of the vase, evidently for tying on a lid. Coarse grey clay,
unpolished ; roughly moulded ware. (Fig. 13.)

[The lid need not belong to this vase : sec A 54.]

JAR with foot. Fit. 2,! in. From Yortan, as A 1, etc. Plate II.

Slightly flattened globular bod)'', with upright collar neck and foot, and four
vertically pierced lugs around the widest part of body. In each space between
the lugs is a vertical incised design of opposed triple zig-zags, and around the
foot a hatched band. Fine dull black clay with remains of polish.

THREE-LEGGED JAR. Ht. 3 in. From Yortan, as A 1, etc. Plate II.

As last, but with three short tapered legs instead of the collar foot. Very
highly polished brown clay, irregularly moulded and fired.

[The muddy brown clay with brilliant polish is like that of some Cretan Neolithic ware.
The shape (without legs) is common in the Cyclades, and in Crete in E.M. I.—II. ; it occurs
also at Troy, S.S. 1743, 'stone form.']
