^{page 80 note 2} Two similar mounds were noted in this part of the plain, of which I was able to make only a hurried inspection: a low mound of large circumference close to the railway, near the village of Gondüler, and a similar but smaller mound to the north of the road from Egerdir to Isbarta, near Findos. On the surface of both these mounds I found fragments of pottery similar to that obtained from the mound at Senirdje.

^{page 81 note 3} At present it would be inadvisable to lay over much stress on this fact, and to assume that the red-glazed ware is an intruder, though this may well be the case. In the lowest 30 cm. of the stratum in question I found no trace of the red-glazed ware, in the 30 cm. in the middle of the stratum only occasional pieces, the ware being common only in the 30 cm. immediately below the first burnt level. A more complete excavation might, however, quickly modify these results.

^{page 89 note 1} Similar white encrustation is found on the figurines from Kenar, Tchai (Annals, ii, p. 146)Google Scholar, but I have found no trace of it on any of the pottery from the numerous mounds in this part of Asia Minor that I have examined, except in the present example. At Bos-euyuk there is no trace of it on the pottery, white filling being employed only in the eyes and eyebrows of a clay figurine (Ath. Mitt. xxiv, p. 25Google Scholar). The figurines from Tchai Kenar were assigned by Mr. Peet to the Neolithic Age, though I was inclined to regard them as of a rather later date (B.S.A. xvi, p. 105Google Scholar). If Mr. Peet's view is correct, it is possible that the encrusted technique disappeared in this district at the close of the Neolithic Age, and that the complete excavation of the lower strata of any one of these mounds would bring to light more examples of this style. The Senirdje vase would then be a survival from an earlier date. (See, however, below).

^{page 89 note 2} S.S. 229, cf. T. und I. i, p. 252Google Scholar, where it is suggested that the white paint is a preparation of ashes. Similar white paint on a black or brown surface from Hissarlik, I, (S.S. 154, 230)Google Scholar. This pottery is compared by Tsuntas with the white or black ware of Thessaly. (Г 1 α 2 in Messrs. Wace and Thompson's classification. See Prehistoric Thessaly, pp. 232, 237, and Fig. 55, a-1. Fig. 55 f. is a fragment of a design similar to S.S. 229, which is not uncommon on the painted Thessalian pottery).

^{page 90 note 1} The rarity of the style in Hissarlik I makes it probable that the few sherds represented are an importation from a foreign source, possibly Thessaly. (Cf. the Thessalian Г 1 α 2 ware at Besika Tepeh and Bos-euyuk, Wace and Thompson, op. cit. p. 232). Messrs. Wace and Thompson are inclined to deny the connection between Hissarlik and Thessaly postulated by Tsuntas in the matter of the Г 1 α 2 ware, but do not take into account the further development of the style at Yortan.

The lake is now crossed by the extension of the Ottoman Railway line, which makes access to the mound, through which it passes, possible. The water is full of leeches and there are said also to be pike. When the mound was inhabited, it is probable that there was some secret approach by means of the tufts, which rise frequently in the lake, but so far as I am aware, the knowledge of the approach has been lost.

^{page 92 note 2} The top of the mound is 3,300 feet above sea-level.

^{page 92 note 3} In favour of the second alternative it is perhaps relevant to quote the mound described (B.S.A. xvi, p. 93, No. 16Google Scholar) beside lake Karalitis (Sügüt-Giölü), which stands on an outcrop of rock in marshy ground on the dried-up lake-bed.
