Extract
I am sorry to be compelled to say again in print what I said first nearly twenty years ago, and said again in 1926, and repeated in company with others in 1930. In 1926 I was stirred to testify by certain criticisms of Mr. Wace's Mycenae report, which criticisms appeared to me to scout the evidence of the facts ascertained in the excavation. I am stirred to it now by a paper by Miss M. Hartley on ‘Early Greek Vases from Crete.’
With most of that paper I am not indeed concerned, since unfortunately I am not well acquainted with Greek vases from Crete, except on paper; but what does concern me is Miss Hartley's publication at the end of her paper of several fragments of a Laconian krater found in 1929 at Eleutherna (as it would appear, in an unstratified deposit), and the date, about the middle of the sixth century B.C., that she assigns to it for reasons chiefly derived from the development of parallel forms in Chalcidian and Corinthian pottery.

page 247 note 7 Mr. Payne has reminded me that the pattern does occur with the dots on a sherd of Laconian V (Artemis Orthia, fig. 76, p. 103); that piece, however, stands alone, and its execution is so careless and debased as to prevent its carrying any real weight.

page 249 note 1 As to the style of drawing on this particular vase, a very fair parallel to the hooves of the horses is to be seen on a fragment illustrated in Artemis Orthia, p. 67, fig. 40 m, and a close parallel to the men's heads, bearded and without moustache, and to the method of showing the hair on the fragment illustrated J.H.S. 50, fig. 410; both of which pieces are Laconian and classed as sub-Geometric.
