27 Cf. also CMS 115 326 from the MM IIB Phaistos sealing deposit. Impressions of Prisms of the kind known
from the Malia Workshop were also found in a MM II context in Quartier Mu in Malia (BCH 93 [1971]
796-799 fig. 6). The "MM II" Scarab from the Diktean cave (=CS 126) must be discounted as evidence for
two reasons: 1) It is only said to come from this cave (Pendlebury, Arch 119, 144), which is one of sever-
al remote caves in the area. 2) The ceramic from the cave is unpublished. Another Prism-seal from Trapeza
cave (CMS III 427) is of little use for dating as the cave is thoroughly mixed: "Practically all of the depos-
it has been turned over again and again." (BSA 36 [1935-36] 17).
28 How linear this development is is a legitimate question.

31 In the case of this subgroup I do not want to use the material, hard stone, as a criterion for either a MM
IB or MM II dating. Instead, I would rather that the dating of hard stone be dependant on that of the
group.
