immediately above skeleton No. 23 in terrace B, near the coarse clay vessel (plate 13, fig. 4). A peculiar form is the conical lower part of a grooved vessel, height 13.3 cm. (plate 13, fig. t). It comes from + II to +2 feet in shaft A. In the same series belongs the cylindrical vessel, height 12 cm. (plate 13, fig. 2), the lip of which is broken off. On each side there is attached in relief a snake-like ornament with punctured decoration. It was found in terrace B under pithos d, and belongs, therefore, to period A. Little bottles (plate 13, fig. 3), height. 7.5 cm., occurred numerously, especially in terrace B.

the middle strata. It is, however, in no way restricted to these younger deposits, but also occurs deeper in the terraces. In judging these finds it is worthy of remark that a beaker-foot in gray ware, of exactly the same form as that noticed in terrace A, between +31 and + 23 feet, and in terrace B between + 21 and + 19 feet (c f. fig. 172), was found in the south shaft at a depth of —12 feet.
