A DEPOSIT OF ARCHAIC AND CLASSICAL GREEK POTTERY 307 examples represent the extremes of proportion: 23 is very nearly the shallowest mug here, 24 the deepest. 23. K.3613. P1. 68 About 90%o preserved; mended from many fragments and restored in plaster. H. 0.064; D. rim 0.096 m. Clay tan to gray with white and dark inclusions. Glaze greenish gray to brown, worn. Underside concave with broad groove around circumference near edge. Thin walls. Groove between bowl and rim. Glazed over all. More carefully made than most. 24. K.3561. Fig. 2, P1. 68 Intact except for chips. H. 0.049; D. rim 0.067 rn. Clay orange tan to orange, with sand and white inclusions. Glaze red, worn. Glazed over all except foot. Other mugs of group 1: K.2029 and three other whole profiles (not inventoried), fragments of nearly a hundred more. There are parallels in the Siphnian fabric from Kastro, Siphnos, where they were " not very common," Tocra, and the temple (Room XI) at Ayia Irini, Keos.7 Mugs of the same shape are widespread and have generally been regarded as locally produced in each of the areas where they have been found.8 Kylix. One fragment may belong to a kylix of Siphnian fabric. Uninventoried fragment of base and lower bowl, D. foot 0.038 m., clay gray to brownish gray, glaze dull black. Low conical base with spreading bowl. Kacntharos. This shape too is represented by a single fragment: uninventoried body sherd, W. 0.051 m., clay gray, glaze black, streaky on the outside. Carinated bowl with vertical handle rising from the carination. Oinochoe. Again there is only one example from the deposit: uninventoried fragment of base and body, H. 0.051 m., D. base 0.029 m., clay light gray with orange-buff surfaces, glaze black to brown, dull and streaky. Flat bottom, underside concave, body probably ovoid. Cf. K.1701, from the temple at Ayia Irini, unpub- lished, with round mouth. OTHER FINE WARES Mugs, group 2. As regards base, shape of bowl, and handle, these are very like the Siphnian mugs. They differ in the curvature of the top of the rim and the restriction of glaze to the rim and the upper part of the bowl and handle. There 7Siphnos: BSA 44, 1949, p. 48, no. 5.
