PREHISTORIC AEGEAN POTTERY.
A 254.
A 255.
FRAGMENT, incised. L. 6} in. From Dimini. From the rim of a large jar with open
mouth, as before. Round the lip is a flat band, slightly raised, which is occupied by a roughly
incised zig-zag pattern of triangles hatched in alternate directions. Light clear red clay.
(Fig. 47-)
FRAGMENT, incised. L. 3| in. From Tsangli. From a large vase, with globular
body and upright neck : thick, heavy ware. The angle of neck and body is filled by a round
fillet which is slashed obliquely by deep cuts, in a rope pattern. Dark grey clay with red
surface on exterior and a red slip inside the neck. (Fig. 47.)
[Heavy ware with moulded decoration as A 244-255 (Fig. 47) is assigned by Tsountas to
the Second (Neolithic) Period: Atfxrjvi xa'i SeVicXo, figs. 124-131 (B 1). Later fabrics are
decorated in the same manner : ibid., figs. 219-222 (r 3).]
A 256.
FRAGMENT, incised. L. 3} in. From Tsani.
perhaps from an open bowl. On the outer edge of the
deeply incised oblique bars.
Thinner ware, light brown clay;
rim is a rope moulding marked with
Fig. 48.—Lianoki.adi Geometric Wake (A 257). Bronze Age.
A 257t-e.
Fragments with painted geometric decoration. From Lianokladi. A local
style belonging to the Bronze Age.
As Prehistoric Thessaly, p. 180, figs. 125-133 (A 1 p, A 1 y). Brick-red or brown ware
with close geometric patterns in dull black paint. No. 1 is finely made, with polished surface
and even patterns : crossing bands of four lines forming a lattice, and a border of four similar
lines with superimposed discs. The other pieces are coarser : the shoulder of a jug (2) has a
fringe of short bars with hatched triangles and similar figures in a frieze below. Triangles
appear on 3, lattice on 4 and 5. No. 6 is a base outlined with a ring which is crossed by two
irregular diameters. (Fig. 4S.)
[The panelled designs of this geometric fabric, the hatched triangular figures and the
spiral coils in angles point to connexion with the incised and painted wares of Macedonia,
A 99, etc. In both localities such designs are associated with raking handles, A 95, A 238.]
