3 For example in tombs 49, 50, and 51, discussed on p. 60.
These three tombs contained well over 550 examples, all
of which, save 9, have concentric circles on the mouth.

given by Ure in J.H.S. 1909, 310 (Graves 31, 26, 18, 12, 46

With patterns. F.
As no. 640. Tombs 4, 86, and 101 b at Rhitsona1 1261
show that this type continued in the late Corinthian
period. Examples with concentric circles on the
mouth may be taken as certainly belonging to the
late period.

As no. 638. Rhitsona tomb 49 2 gives evidence of 1262
an isolated survival of this type in the middle of the
sixth century.

As fig. 161. Quatrefoil aryballoi (debasement of the 1263 j-~
type of no. 485). The earliest evidence for this type
is given by tomb 14 at Rhit-
sona (J.H.S. 1910, 351 ff.,
fig. 14), a tomb which evi-
dently belongs to an early
date in the sixth century.
Many aryballoi and ala-
bastra were found in this
tomb, but only one vase of
the class here in question—
a fact which, as Ure has

seen

Fifth Century Pottery, p. 78), is certainly of signifi-
cance. Another early tomb which contained a single
example of this type is no. 192 at Syracuse (N.S.
1895, 130; see on no. 745). As we move down the
sixth century,these vases become commoner. There
were several in tomb 86 at Rhitsona (c. 580-70 b.c.:
cf. p. 60); while immense numbers were found in
the graves of the middle of the century.3 The type,
or its derivatives, continues long after this, at least
to the end of the sixth century.4

The history of this group over the long period thus
indicated has been traced in detail by Ure on the
basis of a vast quantity of material discovered at
Rhitsona. The principal facts are that until the
middle of the sixth century the quatrefoil type
illustrated fig. 161 (cf. fig. 54 e) is normal; there are
a few unimportant variations in the size of the cross-
hatched leaves at the sides, and in the tongues below,
and also in the form of the central motive. After this
period, the 'cinquefoil' type, illustrated in fig. 54 g,
predominates. This is the normal form of the sixth,
and possibly of the early fifth, century. Graves
which illustrate this development, and show an
intermediate form, are discussed by Ure in J.H.S.

which belong to the late sixth century and to c. 500 b.c.).
There is not much certain evidence for these vases in the
fifth century. Some of the Rhitsona tombs may be a little
later than 500, but, as Ure maintains, this is not likely. One
of these vases was, however, found in a tomb in Cyprus
(J.H.S. xii, 312), with a red-figured lekythos which no
doubt dates from the early fifth century.
