also found the perforated disk-shaped utensil, Fig. 720, c, with a low rim
which had possibly served as a cheese-strainer—showing a late form of the
'adder-mark' motive—and five two-handled pots, or 'amphora's', of pale
plain clay. This late chamber was called at the time the ' Room of the
Biigelkannes','
The ceramic remains here, like other similar deposits of what may be
called the post-palatial class throughout the building, mark the extreme
limit of its re-occupation by the later squatters. Among these contemporary
deposits the nearest parallel was presented by the store of ' stirrup vases'
and two-handled pots of about the same size on a plaster floor, about
25 cm. above the level of the remains of that of the 'Archives' Room of
the Late Palace, itself associated with sealings and tablets of Class B.
The stratification revealed, both in that case and by the ' Room of the
Stirrup Vases', is of great importance in its bearing on the chronology of
the latest deposits of tablets of the Linear Class B within the Palace. Not
only are these separated in date by an interval marked by the gradual deposit
of about a quarter of a metre of surface earth from the deposits of pottery-
found above them, but the later vase decoration represented by these shows
several degrees of decadence when compared with the fine ' Palace Style'.
