PREHISTORIC AEGEAN POTTERY.
THE CYCLADES.
A 301.
EARLY CYCLADIC (A 301-A 336).
The Early Cycladic pottery (except three pieces, which are probably from
the cemetery of Fhylakopi in Melos) was excavated from graves in Antiparos by
J. Theodore Bent about 1883, and by Chr. Tsountas from graves at Chalandriani
in Syros in 1898. The vases from Chalandriani were presented by the Hellenic
Government, 1912.

The body is a hemispherical bowl, with round shoulder and tall neck
narrowing towards the mouth in a hollow curve. The clay is light brown and
has shining particles. The modelling is heavy but careful ; the surface of the
neck is smooth, with remains of a black coating which is probably accidental.
In the shoulder on each side arc two vertically pierced string-holes in the
solid wall, 2\ in. apart, the surface above them being slightly raised. The base
is very small and is a mere truncation, slightly sunk. Decoration en°raved :
the body is divided evenly by a series of vertical lines ; the spaces between
these are filled with parallel hatching running obliquely in alternate directions ■
and around the neck is a band of herring-bone.

turned black in firing. The surface has
suffered. On the shoulder at two opposite
points the clay has been pinched outward, to

two pairs of such holes, but the vase is
destroyed at the points where the other string-
holes should be found. On the neck is
