Abstract

The control groups used in the earlier analysis (BSA 75 (1980) 151–61) have been enlarged. The range of suspected imports was extended with samples from Cyprus and Crete. It is concluded, as a result, that the majority of exports did originate in Euboea, though it is not possible to distinguish between kilns at Lefkandi, Chalkis, and Eretria. No conclusions were possible in the case of six sherds from Knossos. The results demonstrate early Euboean maritime enterprise.

2 This type of vase and its chronology are discussed by Desborough in Lefkandi I 299–302. Its absence from the Late Geometric occupation and destruction deposits at Lefkandi demonstrates that it was no longer current there at this stage.

3 We are grateful to colleagues for enabling us to obtain these new samples; to Dr. Karageorghis and Dr. Aitken for those from Cyprus, to Mr. Sackett for those from Lefkandi, to Professor Boardman for supplying those from Al Mina, and to Professor Coldstream and Dr. Carington Smith for permitting us to sample and illustrate those from Crete, which they will be publishing. The sherds from Kition have since been published in Excavations at Kition IV 17–22 and pl. 16. Parallels for the amphoriskoi from Crete will be found in Lefkandi I 308–11.

4 We are grateful to Miss I. Metzger for selecting and dating these sherds from the Swiss excavations at Eretria.
