Bronze, Lead and Iron. 149

•039 in length. (Found in undoubted Primitive deposit in the W. part of
the area.)
xv- It (c.) Torque. One bronze torque of spirally twisted wire, with flattened

overlapping ends, came to light in disturbed earth in the W. centre. D. ■ 168.
Similarly twisted wire (gold) occurred in the Burnt City at Hissarlik (Ilios
Schlicm., p. 459, no. 693), and (bronze) at Olympia (iv., pi. 5, nos. 22, 23),
at Enkomi (Enk., pi. viii.), and at the Argive Heraeum {Her. i. p. 62,
"Geometric Age").

(d.) Rings.

Finger-rings. 11 plain rings varying in diameter from "025 to "023, and
too small for any but the smallest masculine finger. Some of these
rings have slightly bevelled edges ; and one specimen is a broad band
of metal, like a " keeper" ring. Also 8 broken hoops with ends
either overlapping or not quite meeting. Ring moulding in some
cases round the ends or the centre of the hoop by way of ornament.
These may be, not finger rings, but rings for suspension in the ears,
although in diameter they agree with the first class of plain rings.
Cp. Ilios Schlicm., p. 272, nos. 148, 9, for this overlapping type in
electrum.

Other rings, of " napkin-ring" type, having swelling mouths, contracted
waists, and hollow sides. 29 complete specs, and some fragments.
(Cp. the same form in Ivory, xxxv. 213, and Crystal, xlvi. 1.) One
mouth is always of slightly less diameter than the other. The rings
range downwards in weight from '016, and in diameter from -039.
All are without ornament of any kind. It is possible that these are
structural parts of other objects, but they show no sign of having
been affixed in any way.

(c.) Earrings.

These occurred in great numbers. More than 175 specs, more or less
perfect were recovered, and there were fragments of at least as many more.
The types repeat the commoner electrum and gold types.

XJ&'' 1 q9' Ph**% with thickened centre of hoop. D. from -015. About 100 specs.

specimens occurred in the Basis.
