56 THE EARLY CORINTHIAN ORIENTALIZING STYLE
simple Protocorinthian types which outlived the period of the Protocorin-
thian style proper. Now these types (figs. 8-9) are not found in any graves
which can be dated to the sixth century; they are not found at Naukratis;
they are not particularly well represented at Selinus, and that, although they
were produced in great numbers, and although Selinus imported great
quantities of pottery. We may take it therefore that the latest date for these
linear Protocorinthian vases is the last decade of the seventh century. It
follows that graves in which they are found may legitimately be regarded
as 'early', and since such graves often contain Corinthian vases we have
a convenient basis for the construction of an early Corinthian category.
Let us therefore review the contents of some of these graves:
Syracuse tomb 200 (N.S. 1895, 131). Kotyle as fig. 9c; alabastron as
fig. 121 bis.
Syracuse tomb 178 (op. cit. 127). Kotyle as in fig. 9 a, but with tongues at the
base; alabastron as in pi. 17, 4; kotyle as in fig. 9 c.
Syracuse tomb 202 (op. cit. 131). Kotylai as in the last tomb; aryballos like
no. 633.
Vroulia tomb P (Kinch pi. 33). Aryballos as in fig. 8b; alabastron as in
fig. 121 b; aryballos no. 579.
Gela tomb 173 (Mon. Ant. xvii, 108 ff.). Kotyle as in Johansen pi. 17, 2;
but, as usual in the Corinthian period, with much shorter rays; two black
kotylai as in Syracuse tomb 178 (supra); cup of Protocorinthian type
(op. cit. fig. 76); five small alabastra, three with cocks, as in pi. 17,4, two
with panthers (op. cit. fig. 77, cf. nos. 245-57); three round aryballoi of
class E (nos. 554ff.): one as in fig. 126, one with a cock, one with a lion and
a duck.
Megara Hyblaea tomb 632. Group by one skeleton: kotyle as in fig. 9 c;
alabastron as inpl. 17,1-2. Another group in the same tomb: aryballos as
in fig. 8 b; cup as in fig. 9 b.
Rhitsona tomb 91. Pointed aryballoi, one as fig. 8 b ; aryballos as in fig. 126;
aryballoi of the type mentioned on p. 291, no. 633.
Gela tomb 313 (Mon. Ant. xvii, 153,4). Cup as fig. 9B; alabastra as fig. 121b
and as nos. 342-7; aryballoi nos. 609 and 636; oinochoe no. 758; pyxis
with concave sides, no. 667; kotyle as in fig. 9 a.
Gela tomb 486 (Mon. Ant. xvii, 202, 3). Cup as in fig. 9 b ; alabastron as in
fig. 121 b; olpeno. 766; pyxis with concave sides, no. 651; long-necked
oinochoe, 'stamnos' and kotylai, these last not exhibited at Syracuse.
Cf. also Syracuse, tomb 57 (p. 34 supra). More graves are quoted in the
catalogue.
There will, of course, be other graves of the same period with Corinthian
vases and without the linear Protocorinthian types which serve to distinguish
simple Protocorinthian types which outlived the period of the Protocorin-
thian style proper. Now these types (figs. 8-9) are not found in any graves
