EARLY HELLADIC (A 261-A 269).
For Early Helladic fabrics see A. J. B. Wace and C. W. Blegen in B.S.4., xxii, p. 175,
pJl. VI-IX ; and Blegen, Korakou, A Prehistoric Settlement near Corinth.
FRAGMENTS of burnished grey ware. L. 2 in. to 3] in. From Corinth ; presented by
A. J. B. Wace, 1923. Nos. I and 2 are a very fine light grey fabric showing a cupped base and
hned-off rim as A 267, 2-4 ; 3 is from a larger globular vase and is fired red inside ; 4 is
nearly black and is decorated with small bosses exactly as A 166 (Neolithic) from Chaironeia.
(Fig. 50.)
FRAGMENTS of red burnished ware. L. l| in. lo 23 in. From H. Kosmas near old
F-haleron (1), and sites near Corinth (2, 3), as last. Good handmade pottery with brilliant
dark red surface, Nos. 2 and 3 are from wide hemispherical bowls ; 3 has an impressed
cuneiform pattern on the rim forming a zig-zag in relief, exactly as in A 92, 5 and A 94, 3 from
Macedonia. (Fig. 50.)
Varnished ware, usually black, but also fired red and brown {Urfimis). It
is found on Helladic and Cycladic sites and has the same lustrous black wash as
the Early Minoan pottery of Crete.
BOWL with spout. Ht. Si in. From Chalandriani in
Syros, as A 322, etc. The base, one side and the back
are broken away ; foot and handle restored. As 'Apx- 'E$->
1899, pi. IX, 8 ; B.S.A., xxii, pi. VI, 3 ; Korakou, pi. I, I
(in colours).
Spherical bod}' with open top, and a large
square-cut trough-spout. Very thin ware, made
of fine light brown clay, covered on exterior and
in a band inside the lip with hard semi-lustrous
black varnish, which is fired red towards the base.
(Fig- 49-)
[The form probably had its origin in leather ; it appears at Troy in the gold ' boat-shaped '
vase of the Second City, S.S. 5863.]
FRAGMENTS of similar varnished ware. L. 4} in. to 2f in. From Lianokladi in the
Spercheios valley (1-8). Presented by the British School at Athens, 1913. As Prehistoric
Thessaly, p. 178, figs. 122, 123. Fine red clay, usually grey in fracture, covered with a wash
of varnish which varies in density and colour from black to red ; on some pieces the irregular
brush marks are conspicuous. Nos. 1 and 2 are from one vase, an askosj 5 shows a flattened
base, of very thin fabric ; 6 is from the rim of shallow curved bowl with broad horizontal
lip turned sharply inwards ; and 8 is a flat loop handle. No. 9, from Orchomenos, is a simple
incurved lip, as 6, but not angular. Thin varnish showing brush marks.
