PREHISTORIC AEGEAN POTTERY.
NORTH GREECE.
FROM MACEDONIA (A 76-A 100).
The pottery from Macedonia was collected with other antiquities in the
British war zone (the region between the Vardar and Struma rivers) during the
years 1915-1919. The whole collection, which was first housed in the White
Tower at Salonika and afterwards in the G.H.Q. Museum, was given to the
British nation by the Hellenic Government, at the request of General Sir G. F.
Milne, G.C.M.G., Commander-in-Chief of the British Salonika Force.
For the history of the collection and the first publication of this material see E. A.
Gardner and S. Casson in B.S.A., xxiii (1918-9), pp. 10 ff, map and plates; and for the
archaeological work of the French Army in the same campaign, L. Key, Observations sur les
premiers habitats de la Maddoine = B.C.H., xli-xliii (1917-19).
A 76. JAR with incised decoration. Ht. 7 in. Put together from fragments, one handle PLATE
restored. U.S.A. xxiii, pi. V, 3. Cf. B.C.H., I.e. ii, pi. XVII, 1 ; H. Schmidt in Z.f. Ethn.,
xxxvii, p. 107.
Globular body with narrow mouth, low
upright lip and flat base. Two loop handles,
flattened above, are arched from lip to shoulder.
Heavily modelled, dark red-brown clay with hard
surface slightly polished. On each side between
the handles is a pair of spiral coils formed by a
band of four or five irregularly incised lines, with
bands of similar lines round neck, base of handles,
and below the spiral coils. A triangle hangs from
the neck-band in the middle of each side between
the spiral coils, and the whole of the coils on one
side, and part on the other, are further outlined
with a row of dots. (Fig. 24.)
[A vase of similar shape and hatched ribbon decoration has been excavated in a Bronze
Acre stratum on the Acropolis mound at Chauchitza (S. Casson, 1922).]
Fig. 24 = A 76.
A 77. BOWL with pierced lug. Ht. 37 in. Half is restored. As B.C.H., I.e. ii, figs. 9-11.
Open hemispherical shape with flat base and plain lip prolonged horizontally
in a flat lug which is pierced with a large hole. The outer half of the lug is
restored. Dark red clay partly burnt black, roughly but sharply modelled, and
well fired.
[The lug shows the origin of the raking handles, A 95.]
