THE PALACE OF MINOS, ETC.
jars.1 The common M. M. Ill amphoras with their mouths slightly pinched^
as in Fief. 403, c, also belong to the same tradition. Among- the Mainland
Minyan forms of Piperis,2 moreover, contemporary with the Cretan M. M. I
phase, we find imitations of a similar amphora type.
Some satisfactory materials as to the forms of M. M. I bronze im-
plements were forthcoming from an exterior compartment of the early house
Fig. 141. Bronze Weapons and Implements from Chamaezi (M. M. I) (f c).
M. M. I at Chamaezi, adjoining that containing the figurines, and which must
fm°le- certainly be referred to this Period.3 Among the implements and weapons
ments found here (Fig. 141) was a long chisel, a, a spearhead or dagger with a long
Weapons, perforated flat tang, 6, two double axes of somewhat square cut, and an
adze-axe, c. Again, from the annexe of the smaller ossuary ' tholos' at
1 e.g. certain clay 'amphora' forms of the Vat
Room Deposit (cf. Fig. 118 a, 4 and 19).
These represent a simpler stage with a more or
less round mouth. They are also earlier in
date than Fig. 140.
- V. G. Childe, On the date and origin of
Minyan Ware (/.U.S., xxxv, p. 197, Fig. 1, and
p. 203), who notes that the amphorae 'are not
the least Trojan in form'. The metal proto-
type may therefore have come from Crete.
3 Dr. Xanthudides ('E</>. 'Ap^., 1906, p. 120
seqq.) at first regarded them as of later date,
though he admitted the early associations of the
spear or dagger with the flat perforated tang.
The Mochlos finds show that the double axe
itself goes back to the E. M. II Period. There is
evidence, moreover, that the adze-axe (a$i.vd-
piov) is also already associated with E. M. II
remains. Fig. 142, a, and the broad-tanged
dagger, b, show a certain parallelism with IVojan
forms belonging to the third stratum of the
Second City.
