1-2.

A 1132,

same shape as in A 1122; this is painted with a single stripe continued on the body and
the lip is blacked. Wheel-made, red-brown clay, dull black varnish.

[The handle-stripes are typically Sub-Mycenaean: see A 1123 and references. For
' cut-away' jugs see next note.]

CUP with handle,
donia, with A 1127 etc.

Ht. 6y in. From Chauchitza in Mace
B.S.A., xxiii, pi. V, 1.

Wheel-made, of dark grey clay which has a reddish
tone in some places under the smooth surface, and is
micaceous and rough in texture. The shape is that of
the Minyan cups (A 281), with the addition of a low
conical foot. The vertical wall is strongly ribbed with
wheel-marks. (Fig 309).

HANDLES of cups. Ht. 5 in., 4| in. From Macedonia, as A 1127 etc. Ibid., pi. III.,
4, 6. In shape and colour these are identical with the handle of the preceding cup, and the
clay is also micaceous, but finer, and the ware is thin and hard.

[These cups and the jugs with cut-away necks (A n 29) have been found together in
Early Iron Age burials at Chauchitza {B.S.A., xxiv, p. 26), and similar jugs have been found
with painted Proto-Geometric ware like A 1103 etc. in Skyros and Thessaly {Prehist. Thessaly,
p. 208). Both forms were originally Anatolian, but their immediate source may have been
Balkan. The cup is the prototype of the classical kantharos.\

BOWL with handle. Diam. 5^ in.
Apparently wheel-made, of

From Chauchitza, as A 1130.
rough red clay.

Shallow globular shape with lip slightly curved inwards,
flat base, and flat loop handle set obliquely below
the rim. . (Fig. 310).

[Similar vases were found at Chauchitza in the same Early
Iron Age context (B.S.A., xxiv, p. 24). The form was not

Mycenaean, and has not been found elsewhere ; it was probably local, and related to the bowls
with raking handles of the Macedonian Bronze Age (A 95).]
