iv., pi. 22, No. 368.) 2 complete and several fragmentary
specs. Cp. Her. ii. pi. 86, Nos. 877, 8. I found fibulae of
this type in the cave-burials at Epano Zakro in E. Crete,
which belong to the Geometric epoch (8th century ?). See
B. S. A. vii. p. 148.
(ii.) Similar; but with balls flattened to resemble beads of oval
section, and divided by lines, so as to recall the cushion
moulding of gold earrings. About 10 specs., all incomplete.
Cp. Olympia, iv., pi. 22, no. 367: Ath. Mitth. x. Beil. to
p. 59, fig. 8, Crete.
(iii.) Balls, in the form of beading on one face only of the bow,
the other side being plain and flat. 1 spec. Cp. Olympia iv.,
pi. 22, nos. S73S77 (black ash-stratum S. of Heraeum).
(iv.) Balls or beads reduced to moulded belts, usually three in
number, and placed at the centre of the bow and spring of
the catch-plate and coil. The bow is sometimes ribbed or
fluted longitudinally. 33 specs, of varying size, some being
very heavy and thick, others as fine as fibulae in precious
metal. This is the " Kleinasiatisch " type of Eurtwangler
(Aphaia, p. 403 ; Olympia iv., pi. 22, no. 371, 2, Pelopion
deposit), characteristic of the earlier Gordian tumulus burials
(Korte, p. 78, no. 68), and found on the "Hittite" site of
Sinjerli in X. Syria (Ausgrab. in Seudscherli, Mitth. Orient.
Samml. xi., pi. 2, p. 87). Cp. Apliaia, pi. 116; Bohlau,
Jon. Nekr., pi. 15, nos. 11, 12; Her. ii., pi. 86, 7; Pfuhl,
Ath. Mitth. xxviii., p. 232 ; J. H. S., 1887, p. 74 (Ilalicar-
nassus); Martha, p. 76. Of this type are our gold and silver
fibulae v. 3, 4 : xii. 13, 16. It was conspicuous by absence
on the Orthia site at Sparta (B. S. A. xii., p. 321).
(v.) Coiled wire ribbing on bows. 3 specs. Cp. Gold, v. 1, 2, 5.
(b.) Bar-drops.
xviii.34- Sixteen bronze examples of the ear-drops already described in precious
3ai' ^T metals (v. 7 : vii. 43, 49, 50: xi. 17, 18, 24) were found. The majority are of
plain wire with straight or slightly thickened ends, which occasionally show
moulded bands (Compare Gold, vii. 49). Two specimens are heavier than
the rest, and have the ends expanded and adorned with incised rosette
patterns (cp. the handles, xix. 1, 2). The largest specimen (Xo. 34) measures
