in calyx-form seemed to have been particularly liked. Conical whorls with convex
and double-conical tops, occur more rarely. The ornamentation, in contrast
with that of the North Kurgan, shows, in these whorls, a decided progress. The
curved lines, which were probably always made with an instrument, stand on
the same footing with the parallel line and angle group; but the principal progress
consists in the systematic grouping of the ground motif that had come to be usual.
This is not always to be observed, as, for instance, S.K. 113 (fig. 367), and S.K.
366 (fig. 368 and plate 43, figs. 8a, 8b, and 10). The first is from the upper digging
between +32 and +33 feet; the last was found in the shaft of the upper digging
at −14 feet.
The following examples (figs. 369–378 and their equivalents in the plates
as given below) show how the ground patterns are represented, sometimes inde-
pendently, sometimes in combination, with a diversity such as one is accustomed
to see in the rich series of whorls from Troy. In addition to these (S.K. 357,
fig. 370 and plate 43, fig. 11; S.K. 51, fig. 372 and plate 43, fig. 12; S.K. 229,
fig. 373 and plate 43, fig. 13; S.K. 357, fig. 375 and plate 44, fig. 1; S.K. 122,
