Bronze, Lead and Iron. 151
made in Archaic Greek deposits at Olympia, the Heraeum of Argos, and the
temple of Artemis Orthia at Sparta, is worthy of remark. The most conspicuous
absentee is the circular " spool" head with plain or embossed shaft. (Cp.
Olympia, iv., pi. 25, 484, etc. ; Her. ii., pi. lxxviii. ff. ; B. S. A., xii., p. 321 ;
and also the Dictaean Cave, B. S. A., vi., p. i 12, fig. 45.)
Miscellanea.
xvi. 4. Gryphon head with iron core. H. to ear-point "ill. The frontal horn
and left ear are broken ; two knobs between the eyes. (Cp. Olympia,
iv., pi. 45.) Found at a low level, about -4'00, between the outer C
wall and the D cella wall foundations in the S.W. corner. Here the
ground has been disturbed by the insertion of late concrete (see p. 41),
and there is no certainty that objects, however low-lying, have not
slipped down from higher strata. Other objects, however, found with
this gryphon, e.g., ivory ram and pottery fragments, certainly belong
to the Primitive deposit. This gryphon is of the usual archaic
Greek and Ionian type. Cp. Olympia, iv., plates 38 and 45-48 ;
and coin-type of Teos from earliest time. (B.M.C. Ionia, pi. 30.)
It appears, like the hawk, or eagle, on the Winged Artemis plaque
from Olympia (iv., pi. 38, no. 696). For its extension into inland
Asia, see O. Puchstein, Pseudo-IIethitisehe Kunst, p. 9, and P. C, ii.,
fig. 351 (Persepolis).
Bead-cylinders.
Eight specimens of objects of the same general form as Gold, ix. 24.
It is doubtful whether they were intended for ornament or utility.

rims, and the largest specimen (no. 42, over -o6o in length) is almost
too he,ivy i" have been a mere bead for suspension or any kind of
xvlii-45- ornament, (ii.) One specimen, a plain unadorned cylinder, swelling in
xviii. 44. the centre (L. "050), is rather of the bead class, (hi.) Three specimens
of plain whorl shape with hexagonal horizontal section; the largest
measures '021 All these types occurred at Olympia (iv., pi. 24,
especially qos. 432, 444). Cp. also Her., ii., pi. 92, and llallstatt
bronzes (Sacken, pi. 1 7, no. 1 2).
Handles.
xix-' 3. Seven enriched semicircular handles, flattened on one side, and
showing signs of attachment to metal backing. Four of these show
made in Archaic Greek deposits at Olympia, the Heraeum of Argos, and the
temple of Artemis Orthia at Sparta, is worthy of remark. The most conspicuous
absentee is the circular " spool" head with plain or embossed shaft. (Cp.
