of bronze basins found by Mr.
Seager in the basements of L. M. I
houses at Mochlos,1 a specimen
from which, illustrated below,2
affordscloseresemblances to those
of our Palace ' Treasure House '.
The remarkable preserva-
tion of treasure in repositories of
this epoch is illustrated in another
direction by the hoard of copper
ingots, often inscribed with signs,
from the Little Palace of Hagia
Triada (cf. Fig. 391), to which
reference hasalready been made.:j
Another example was found with
the great bronze cauldrons at
Tylissos,4 and others in the East
of Crete as well as Old Salamis
in Cyprus, at Mycenae, Chalkis,
and elsewhere in Mainland Greece, and even as far afield as Sardinia."1
A fragment of one, the solitary survival of great treasures, occurred in the
Long Corridor of the Magazines at Knossos," where representations of
these appear on a whole series of clay tablets of the Linear Class B.7
