There is disagreement among scholars concerning the date of pithos burials in the Cyclades, in particular at Phylakopi. According to Dawkins and Droop (n. 3), 7–9, the urn burials of Phylakopi belong to the final era of the first city (Phylakopi I–iii). Barber and MacGillivray, who consider Phylakopi I–iii to be the last phase of EC III B, assign the pithos burials at Phylakopi, Paroikia, and Thera to EC III and those at Aghia Irini to early MC: Barber 1974, 6, 18, 23; id. in TAW 378; Cyclades, 30, 84, 140; ‘EC period’, 152, 153. Other scholars, however, consider the infant jar-burials of Phylakopi to be of MC date: J. C. and G. F. Overbeck (n. 28), 119; Coleman 1977 (above), 105 n. 31; Evans and Renfrew in PC 63–4; or seem to believe that the custom of enchytrismos is not seen in the Cyclades during the EBA: Doumas (n. 39), 25. In mainland Greece the practice of urn burials is generally considered to be characteristic of the MH period: Goldman (n. 32), 34, 221, 223; Theochares, D. R., ‘Ἀνασϰαφὴ ἐν Ἀραφῆνι’, PAE 1955, 115Google Scholar; Caskey 1960 (n. 16), 299; id., ‘Did the Early Bronze Age end?’, in G.

Overbeck (n. 28), 110; but pithos burials found in certain cases in EH III contexts (Eutresis, Askitario, Lerna IV, Olympia, Aigina, Pelikata in Ithaca) are also reported: Theochares 1955 (see above), 115–16; Caskey, J.

In the former paper 4182 was said to belong to a small basin of elliptical shape. Its identification here with a baking pan is due to the subsequent discovery of quite a few sherds with rough outer surface and traces of fire in the interior, which come from the base of the vessel. To 5795a, rightly supposed to belong to a pan, were added four more sherds coming from the walls and base.

¹³⁰ The krater from Dhokathismata tomb 14 (n. 128) was found in association with a marble folded-arm figurine of the ‘Dhokathismata variety’, Tsountas (n. 63), pl. 10. 1, a type dating to the late phase of EC II: C.

Delt. 25 (1970), Chr. 429, pl. 373 a, were found in association with pottery having EC II features, such as a plain beaked jug, a jug with painted dark-on-light decoration of hatched triangles, and two marble vases: Ibid. pl. 373 β, γ, ζ respectively. Finally, the kraters from Spedo T. 10 were found in association with pottery bearing painted dark-on-light decoration, which consists of dense crosshatching; this system of decoration appears to be characteristic of the EH III painted wares: Zapheiropoulou (n. 129), 82 n. 14,83.
