APC Image: AK 0927: Two undecorated vases. Left: Large askos of a shape which occurs in the Late Mycenaean period. The body of the vase, which is perfectly round, was made on the wheel. The clay is reddish-buff in color, and the surface is highly polished. Related to Yellow Minyan ware. Since this vase ws found among the late Mycenaean pottery at the top of the stairway it can hardly be earlier than the third Late Helladic period. Right: A small cup with a flat, vertical handle should probably be classed with the Yellow Minyan. The clay is of a redddish color and rather coarse, and the surface is well polished. The vase was found in the fill together with large quantities of sherds, the bulk of which was Middle Helladic. Object Description: | | Two undecorated vases.
