^{page 22 note 2} I wish to thank Mrs. G. A. D. Tait who made the map (Pl. 1) and plotted some of the walls in 1932, and Mr. J. C. B. Richmond who plotted the remainder in 1934 and was responsible for most of the drawings; Mr. C. R. Wason for the sketch-plan (Fig. 2); Miss S. Benton for much help with the pottery; and Dr. W. Vollgraff for the use of his notes. Figs. 26, 36 and 37 are by Mr. P. de Jong. My obligations to the people of Ithaca are too numerous to be mentioned in detail, but I wish especially to thank Mr. K. Petalás, Mayor of Vathý, for his enthusiastic interest and support, the people of Vathý and the ᾿´Ενωσις τῶν ἁπανταχοῦ ᾿ Ιθακησίων for generous contributions and M. Marátos, owner of part of the site, for giving us every facility for excavation and in placing at our disposal a room in Vathý for storing the finds.

^{page 25 note 1} A few Protogeometric sherds were found just above virgin soil at a depth of about 3 m. in a trial-pit on the East side of the road (Pl. 1).

^{page 28 note 1} All pottery and objects later than Protogeometric from the cairn area will be included in the study of the Corinthian Geometric and Protocorinthian deposits found South of wall 6. This study is to be made shortly by Mr. M. Robertson and will, it is hoped, appear in a later volume of the Annual.

^{page 51 note 2} The legs on a vase from Lakkéthra (cf. Marinatos, , Ἐφημ. 1932, 171, Pl. xi)Google Scholar are rather like, but have no bars. A vase like 95 seems more likely. For LH III tripod vases cf. B.S.A. xxv, Pl. viii b; Wace, , Chamber Tombs at Mycenae, Pl. liv, 10, 11Google Scholar. There is in the National Museum at Athens a Mycenaean bronze tripod the legs of which have bars. I have not its number or provenance. A bronze prototype of this kind for the Ithaca clay tripod is likely.

The Corinthian Geometric form, of which some examples were found in the deposit of that period at Aetós, is, of course, descended from it. Cf. Johansen, Vases Sicyoniens Pl. xi, 2, 3Google Scholar.

^{page 55 note 1} A few similar sherds were found at Pólis.

^{page 55 note 2} Fragments of these dishes were common.

^{page 55 note 3} These cups are very crudely made, almost ‘mud-pie’ ware. They have a certain interest as they were found in large numbers and various forms among the Corinthian Geometric and Protocorinthian offerings.

^{page 61 note 1} There is a family resemblance between this figurine, the head from Mycenae (cf. Bossert, , Altkreta, Pl. 249Google Scholar), three figurines from the shrine at Asíne, found with ‘Granary’ Class vases (cf. A.A. 1927, p. 379)Google Scholar, the head on the anthropomorphic vase also of ‘Granary Class,’ from Mycenae, (cf. B.S.A. xxvGoogle Scholar, Pl. vii c), and the figurine from the Acropolis of Mycenae (cf. Wace, , Chamber Tombs at Mycenae, p. 216, fig. 50)Google Scholar. The lustrous paint and the cream slip suggest that ours is not of local manufacture.

^{page 61 note 2} Cf. p. 28.

^{page 61 note 3} I have been told on good authority that this substance is from the inside of the cuttle-fish. Though none of these objects were found in the cairns, they must belong to them, since all were found in immediate proximity to them, and none in the Corinthian Geometric or Protocorinthian deposits. Their purpose is unknown to me.

^{page 63 note 14} Shown by the frequency of kylikes with ringed stems and a few sherds of the advanced rectilinear ornament as at Aetós. Ringed stems are found in Cypriote ‘sub-Mycenaean ’ (i.e. twelfth century) and there is one from Olympia (Olympia, Textband IV, p. 109, No. 1285Google Scholar). Swollen stems occur at Asíne in a ‘Granary’ Style context (cf. A.A., 1927, p. 379Google Scholar) and at Vrókastro (Hall, , Vrókastro, Fig. 89Google Scholar).

^{page 64 note 1} Many of the Kavoúsi vases illustrate the same stage, e.g. A.J.A. v, Pl. 1 (bottom row) pilgrim flask; Pl. ii (top row) pilgrim flask; (middle row) two-handled bowls with the same slim form as ours, and in one case the same ornament; (bottom row) a bowl with pinched-out handles; Pl. 2, 4, the form of the hydria is extraordinarily like ours (Fig. 26, no. 75).

^{page 64 note 2} And the loops have lost their fringes or ‘cogs,’ for which see Marinátos, loc. cit. Pl. iv, 5; Pl. vi, 41; Pl. x, 148; Wace, , Chamber Tombs at Mycenae, Pl. xi, 8, 10Google Scholar. There are some good examples in the Patras Museum from tombs in Achaia.

^{page 64 note 4} When writing the above, I overlooked the fact that a very similar conclusion had already been reached by Skeat, (The Dorians in Archaeology, pp. 29, 30)Google Scholar, and I was not, consciously at any rate, influenced by it, in forming my own opinion.

^{page 64 note 5} I formerly thought that a ‘sub-Mycenaean’ phase should be interposed between the latest Mycenaean and Protogeometric (cf. B.S.A. xxxi, p. 52)Google Scholar. I now think this is not so. The Salamis group is still Mycenaean, not sub-Mycenaean. The term ‘Sub-Mycenaean’ is, however, appropriate to the mixed twelfth-century style of Cyprus, and to ‘Philistine’ pottery in Palestine. Cf. a paper which will appear in the Quarterly of Dept. of Antiquities in Palestine vol. iv pts. 3, 4.

^{page 65 note 1} Ornament exactly like 43 is found on the Corinthian Geometric, as well as the pendant concentric loops. Cf. also 87 (Fig. 29).
