DOMESTIC UTENSILS
Flaring 3-legged basins (No. 47), flaring bowls (Nos. 59, 60) and shallow dishes (Nos. 62, 63) are
better adapted for serving than for cooking, and partitioned vessels (Nos. 52, 61) must have held mate-
rials of two kinds commonly used together. The larger one has an 'Early Japanese' counterpart.
A handleless jug (No. 45) seems to be a water cooler, like the Mexican olla. The perforated jar (No. 46)
and box (No. 53) may have been made to contain something that required covering, but needed circu-
lation of air, like fresh meat, or embers in a scaldino. The 'hole-mouthed,' bridge-spouted jar, No. 48, is
closely related to a well-known ' Kamares' shape, and ultimately to an Early Minoan form (PI. XII 11).
No. 50 is a Late Minoan version of a primitive askos—the 'duck-vase' of the Cyclades. An interesting
hint upon the manner of serving is given us by No. 67; this basin can only be held with comfort above
the head,whh arms crooked allowing it to rest on the head, or more easily still with arms stretched straight
upward. Table-tops are provided with a solid (No. 54) or a hollow (No. 66) pedestal—the former
to fit into, the latter to fit over, a standard, which was probably of wood. We have clay standards
(Nos. 65, 74, 78) for the support of bowls, lamps, and clay tables. No. 65 is a Middle Minoan form, to
be compared with the famous Fishermen Vase of Phylakopi. Hand-lamps with ring- or loop-handles
(Nos. 57, 58) are forerunners of the usual classical type; even aside from its black body-paint, the stiff
form and hard texture of No. 59 mark it as Middle Minoan, whereas the graceful outline of No. 58, rel-
egating the bosses to the position where they appear best, without any reference to their meaning, is
a typical piece of 1st Late Minoan work. In large lamps, the development seems to have been from a

simple bowl (No 68) through intermediate types, in which bowl and standard are altogether separate
(No. 69) or perfectly distinct even if joined (No. 73), to a form which unites the two completely (Nos.
75-77). In all standing-lamps, the essential parts are a bowl for oil, sockets for wicks, and a heavy
rim (Nos. 69, 73) or lugs projecting from the rim (Nos. 68, 75-77), by which they can be lifted. In the
older lamps (Nos. 68, 73) the wick-sockets have almost parallel edges and extend three-quarters of the
way across the rim; in the later lamps (Nos. 75-77) the wick-sockets are wedge-shaped and extend across
the entire width of the rim.
From this brief review, it may be seen that although domestic utensils do not furnish much data
for chronology, because changes in their style are slight and slow, yet these can become eloquent when
once the lesson has been learned by careful study of the position and the association with datable
pottery, in which these humbler objects have been found on one's own and other sites. Moreover,
certain general criteria are soon recognized as valid, e. g., straight string marks across the bottoms of
vases, usually cups (Nos. 10,11, 55), are marks of 'pre-Mycenaean' (M. M. or earlier) manufacture; 'body-
paint,' i.e., paint covering both outside and inside, or one entire surface of a vessel, becomes less frequent
in Late Minoan times; and a good hand-polish is almost confined to the older objects. An apparent ex-
ception to the last rule (No. 75) was found with vases belonging to the earlier half of the 1st Late Minoan
period (PI. VI I, 25-41), which show some important instances of survival of earlier tradition in their
painted decoration.
