cylindrical shape (758 b, Pl.XXV, 3), which should be attributed to the same stage of the Mycenean IIIC pottery. Another valuable vase in the same group is a deep bowl (758 c, Pl.XXV, 4) decorated with triangular arches between which appears a group of parallel chevrons. (1) a pattern which also belongs to the Mycenean IIIC: 1 style. Similar bowls have been unearthed at the site of Sinda by Furumark (cf. ASA III, pl. LVIII top left) and are attributed by him to the Mycenean IIIC: 1 b style, which covers the period between 1200 and 1125 B.C. (2). The same pattern occurs also on bowls found at Mycenae belonging to [illegible] the Granary class (cf. BSA XXV, pl.VII, a). The other bowls of the same group (Pl.XXV) are typical of the same stage of the Mycenean pottery. The only exception is 758 1 on Plate XXV, 6 which belongs to a three-handled jar of the Levanto-Mycenean pottery and is therefore a remnant from earlier times.
