310 The Iron Age Pottery from Kommos storage jars of the earliest IA; the type is a direct descendant of the storage jars of the Bronze Age.41 The third group consists of the mass-produced “crisp ware” or “torpedo” storage jars known from Sarepta, Tyre, Keisan, and so on. That mass production, which began in the late ninth or early eighth century B.C., resulted in very uniform rim types that are easy to classify.42 Between the time of the disappearance of the first group and the beginnings of the manufacture of the third group, coastal Phoenician storage jars are of the type called Storage Jar 9 at Tyre. All the Kommos rims are of that type. They are generally similar but rarely identical, which may indicate that they are the products of small household workshops. They are more or less vertical and average 1.0–2.5 cm in height and ca. 1.0–1.5 cm in thickness.43 Of the 3,063 such rims recovered in the Tyre sounding, the vast majority occurred in Strata XIII through VI (Bikai 1978: 45–46), which can be dated to 1070/1050–ca. 800 B.C.44 At Tyre, Storage Jar Rim Type 9 seemed to occur with Base Type 20 in Strata XIII through X, dated to 1070/50–850 B.C. Base Type 20 is a slightly articulated “bulb” (Bikai 1978: 46); one fragment that might be of this type was identified at Kommos (15). The same type of storage jar occurred in quantity at Sarepta and at Keisan, across similarly broad date ranges.45 Anderson compares 2, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 13 from Kommos with Sarepta Storage Jar 14B of Stratum D (ca. 1025/1000–850/825 B.C.), and 14 (which is from a later context at Kommos) with Sarepta Storage Jar 11 of Substratum D1 (ca. 950–850/825 B.C.).46 Evidence from Cyprus has already shown that such storage jars were exported. Examples have been found in Palaepaphos-Skales Tombs 44 and 58 of the first part of the CyproGeometric I (1050–1000 B.C.); in Tomb 49, which covers the whole of the Cypro-Geometric I (1050–950 B.C.); in Tomb 80, of Cypro-Geometric II (950–850 B.C.); as well as at Kition in floor 3 and in Salamis Tomb 1, both generally of the Cypro-Geometric III (850–750 B.C.; Bikai 1987b: nos. 590–91, 594, 595–96, 600–1, 616–18). Thus the dating of these fragments from Kommos will have to come from their context at the site rather than from information available from other sites, as there is as yet little clear evidence for a chronological sequence within the general date range of ca. 1050–750 B.C. The occupation gap at Kommos lowers the earliest possible date for these fragments to ca. 925 B.C. The similarity of the pieces with incised bands below the rim to one another suggests that a good number of the storage jar sherds at the site are the product of a single shipment. That shipment had to have taken place no later than the time of Temple A, Floor 2, for a fragment that joined 2 was found in 33C/85, which belongs to the first part of the Floor 2 phase, dated to 920/880 B.C.; other fragments, for example, 6 and 11, came from equally early contexts. These fragments are not important in themselves; at a mainland Levantine site they would hardly be noticed. They are so insignificant, in fact, that it is a credit to the excavators that they were recognized at all. Evidence for early Phoenician expansion toward the Western Mediterranean is scarce at best. The explanation may well be that the evidence takes the lessthan-spectacular form of the Kommos sherds and is not being recognized. The appearance of this material at Kommos raises the known date of Phoenician expansion Phoenician Ceramics from the Greek Sanctuary 311 to Crete perhaps a full century from where it stood just a few years ago with the discovery of Phoenician jugs of ca. 800 B.C. at Knossos (Coldstream 1984a: 123, fig. 1.2). The eleventhcentury finds some years ago at Palaepaphos-Skales on the west coast of Cyprus (Bikai 1983) made this find somewhere on Crete almost inevitable, for they ended the myth of the mirage phénicien. The oldest Phoenician ceramics found to date west of Kommos are the red-slipped sherds from Huelva (Spain), which date to ca. 800 B.C. (Fernandez Jurado 1984). It is now undoubtedly only a matter of time before much earlier materials are identified in the far west. Selected Catalogue 1 (C 7378I). SJ shoulder with three incisions. Pls. 4.63, 4.64.

Roman Pottery from the Sanctuary John W. Hayes Introduction The pottery assemblage from the final phase of occupation (Phase 6) is essentially domestic in character, almost totally lacking the votive or ceremonial shapes present in the Hellenistic levels. The same seems to be true of the glassware (Hayes, Chap. 5, Section 1), here present in significant amounts. Only the lamps (Hayes, Chap. 4, Section 4), of which a significant number of complete specimens were found, scattered in small caches around the site, have the appearance of offerings—more indicative of the occasional worshipper or the lingering continuation of a cult than of the mass events of Hellenistic times. A normal range of Cretan and Aegean fine and coarse wares is present, including some well-preserved specimens—the latter, with the matching glassware, perhaps the household effects of the last custodians of the shrine. The date for these, indicated chiefly by the fine wares, spans the period ca. A.D. 70–170. The latest material has stylistic links with the large initial destruction deposit from the Villa Dionysos at Knossos (suggested date ca. A.D. 180–90; Hayes 1983: 102–36 passim, 140–63 passim), but should be somewhat earlier. While clearly of second-century date, it is perhaps contemporary with the final construction phase at the Villa Dionysos, with Henry S. Robinson’s group G III in the Athenian Agora (ca. A.D. 140–160/ 170; H. S. Robinson 1959: 40–44, pls. 7–8, etc.), and with a basement deposit briefly noted from Eretria (Themelis 1982: 177, pl. 113 [context details pp. 175–76]). No Kommos item need be later than ca. A.D. 170, which I here adopt as the terminal date of occupation. The initial date for the final phase is less clearly defined, resting as it does on mere fragments and on Roman Pottery from the Sanctuary 313 the local Roman lamp series (see Section 4). Although the latter include a few mid-first-century types (here perhaps to be viewed as cult offerings), there seems to be no datable pottery from the first two-thirds of the first century after Christ. A few of the latest of the Hellenistic series of votives may extend into this period (see Callaghan and Johnston, Section 1), but the earliest of the domestic pottery types going with the final phase need be no earlier than A.D. 60–70. Virtually no overlaps occur among the pottery and glass with the material from the Augustan period to the mid first century after Christ published from Knossos (Hayes 1971; Sackett 1992b: 178–218, pls. 125–65, 200–13), and the “Augustan” version of the common local lamp type, bearing a frill against the handle (e.g., Rizza and Santa Maria Scrinari 1968: 65, fig. 102b; Hayes 1971: pls. 39e right, 40a top left, 40c), is not in evidence. An isolated copy of a fine ware type dating to the early first century after Christ, 22 would appear to date the shadowy intermediate Hellenistic/Roman presence in and around Building B (Deposit 55), with its burning (wasters and dump; see 43–45, 54–56). The wasters match ones visible on the surface of the abandoned hilltop town site at Matala (personal observation) and so could attest an extension of the same industrial activity on the fringes of the Kommos site during its abandonment period. Two late wheelmade lamps (Hayes, Section 4, 77 and 78) also come from this area. Deposits 55–57 (Augustan and Roman)47 The occupation of the sanctuary area after the dilapidation of the buildings in the complex lasted for over a century. Unfortunately, although some relatively minor architectural developments may be assigned to this phase, redeposition, clearing, and the informal nature of some of the squatter reoccupation present problems of interpretation. For this reason the catalogued objects have been grouped typologically, although a few comments on their archaeological contexts may be proffered. Deposit 55 represents a squatter reoccupation in the upper levels of both rooms of Building B. There were no made-up floors, but a few small and flimsy walls provide absolute proof that some attempt was made to adapt the building to contemporary needs. Some pots can be isolated stratigraphically and by type as belonging to this period. The survival of a subHellenistic tradition in pottery forms together with the type of associated lamp suggests an Augustan date for this phase (probably A.D. 1–20). For a specific listing, refer to the contexts delineated in Table 1.5. Deposit 56 is a typological grouping represented partly by material above the Hellenistic dump south of the temple, in particular by local Cretan lamps of the period A.D. 50–100 and, probably, the associated transport amphorae of Matala type. A possibility exists that some of the latest types of votive bowls (published as part of Callaghan and Johnston, Section 1, Deposit 48, Stage 5, 824–26 and 832–35) from the same dump belong here and to the squatters in Building B, for similar votive bowls were found in the upper reoccupation levels of Building 314 The Iron Age Pottery from Kommos B (C 8910 in 10A/12) and within Temple C’s upper floor deposit (C 8896 in 29A1/30). For the lamps see Section 4, 3–11. Deposit 57 dates to the period A.D. 100–160+. Most vases were found within the temple, and many were associated with a dirt floor laid above the flagstones of the Greek naos. Once again the unusual number of fine lamps, along with the single votive bowl (C 8910), just mentioned, suggests a low-key continuation of religious practice—a feature arguably shared by all three phases of the imperial reoccupation. For Deposit 57, see the listings in Table 1.5. Fine Wares The mix of fine wares here is typical of second-century-after-Christ Aegean sites, with Çandarlı ware dominant.48 Of the listed items, 1, 2, 6–8, and perhaps 9, come from the latest levels and may approach A.D. 160 in date, whereas the flanged bowls 4 and 5 should, on context evidence, be rather earlier (i.e., early in the second-century Çandarlı sequence). The best preserved of the thin-walled mugs (17, 20, and 21) all come from the lowest of the Roman layers on the site and are early examples of their respective types; a date of ca. A.D. 100 (or in late Flavian times) may be suggested for them. The fragmentary pieces of Italian sigillata and other firstcentury wares (10–16), found out of context, generally belong to the same Flavian or Trajanic orbit. One or two scraps of thin-walled wares of first-century types (not listed) may push the beginnings of this occupation phase slightly earlier, although probably not beyond the A.D. 60s. As at Knossos slightly later (Hayes 1983: 104; Sackett 1992b: 160–61, with fig. 2 on p. 163), African wares of the second century after Christ are infrequent; the two specimens found (7 and 8) are of an unusual type. The lack of any local (or indeed Cretan) fine ware here—with the possible exception of 8 and 22—may be noted; an analogous situation prevails at Knossos in the second century (although less so in the first century; Hayes 1983: 110; Sackett 1992b: 161–62, with fig. 2). Very little fine ware other than the inventoried specimens presented below occurs at Kommos. Çandarlı Ware Standard “late” fabric.

The series a collarino represented by 17 is now seen to be a product of the northeastern Aegean (perhaps the Thracian coast), where it is very common (recent finds from Ainos, Troy).49 A workshop (perhaps the principal one) for the production of mugs as 20 has been excavated at Phocea (Özyiǧit 1991: 138, fig. 14 on p. 148; 1992: 103, photo 9 on p. 115). 17 (C 2364).

Found with material dating to the early second century after Christ. Coarse Wares, Imported and Local The coarse wares display much the same range of imports and local products as the secondcentury-after-Christ finds from Knossos (Hayes 1983). Buff wares predominate among the local products; the shapes of these essentially match those known from Knossos and other Roman Pottery from the Sanctuary 317 Cretan sites, but the fabric differs somewhat from that of the Knossos series. No parallels are noted with the first-century Knossian cooking ware fabric.

Tan-buff, smooth; chocolate brown to sepia slip (partly vanished) covering exterior and rim. Building B, western room, within upper wall collapse (10A/8). Date uncertain—late Hellenistic? Augustan period? Amphorae Amphorae make up the great bulk of finds from the Roman layers (see Table 1.5). The main series (44–53) derive in one way or another from the common local Hellenistic type; 44 and 45 should mark a transitional stage (perhaps of Augustan date?). A number of wasters (e.g., 55 and 56, to which 44 and 46 should perhaps be added) may be assigned to this period and provide evidence for amphora production nearby at a time of partial (if not complete) abandonment of the Hellenistic sanctuary. Similar amphorae, with evidence of production, Roman Pottery from the Sanctuary 319 may be observed on the abandoned town site at Matala. The characteristic button bases of the common Hellenistic type survive, apparently somewhat reduced in size, on the Roman types (47 and 51); the parallel Knossian types feature them also (Hayes 1983: 141, 143, fig. 20a left; Sackett 1992b: 178–80, figs. 6–7 passim, pls. 159, 207, nos. N1, 43–45). Both of the two classic Cretan types of Roman date, as defined at Knossos,50 are present here in the “local” ware (see 49, 50, and 53); analogous shapes were also made at a somewhat later date at Keratokambos, further east along the south coast.51 “Local” derivatives of the common Hellenistic Koan type (cf. Dressel 1899: types 2–5) are also present at Kommos (see 47 and 48). It is not clear what proportion of the amphora sherds from the Roman layers may be residual, since body sherds of the Hellenistic and Roman–period local series cannot readily be distinguished; on this site the ribbing seen at a slightly later date is uncommon. Presumably, a fair number should be waste material from the production activities of the “abandonment” period noted previously. Scarcely any sherds of imported amphora types were noted, in contrast to the finds from the larger urban sites of Crete. 44 (C 141). Hellenistic derivative, local; neck of amphora and one and a half handles. Pl. 4.67. D of rim 12.4. Misfired. Rim grooved. Strap handles (without groove down inner face).

D of rim ca. 13.2. “Local” ware (firing normal): core brownish red 2.5 YR 4.5/6, surface brown 5 YR 4.5/6; fine sand, and dark and white inclusions. Handle treatment as on 44. Building B, eastern room, upper collapse (10A/ 12). 46 (C 6076). Neck of amphora. Pl. 4.67. D of rim ca 11.7. Overfired (waster?): gray, core brownish. South of Temple C, in sand (34A, in sand). Early context. Early variant of Knossos type 1 = Crétoise 3 (for which see 49 and 50), with internally ledged rim. 47 (C 2111). Koan derivative, local; whole of upper part of amphora, and one side down to base. Pl. 4.67. H ca. 69.0; d of rim 6.8–7.4, est d of body 30.0. Local ware: brown, soft, rather clean (faint brown specks, a few lime particles). Surface wetsmoothed, flaking. Asymmetrically grooved handles, “button” base. Scarp just east of Altar L (29A/20). Shape transitional to second-century-after-Christ versions. Related to the West Cretan series of Koan deriva- tives (Crétoise 2: see Markoulaki et al. 1989: 566– 70), but with rather different handle treatment. For counterparts with “Rhodian” peaked handles, see Knossos types 3–5 = Crétoise 4 (Hayes 1983: 143–45; Markoulaki et al. 1989: 574–77); a few neck and handle sherds from the Kommos site seem to represent these. 48 (C 1940). Koan derivative, local; neck of amphora and a handle (second handle restored on profile). Pl. 4.67. H pres 21.8, d of rim 8.4. Orange ware; whitish and rare brown specks. Short bulging neck, asymmetrically grooved handle(s). Temple C, upper level on east (29A/7). As 47 and 48: six or more handle sherds from Trenches 29A, 29A1, and 29A2. 49 (C 6091). Knossos type 1 = Crétoise 3; neck fragment of amphora, with a handle. Pl. 4.67. Est d of rim 9.5+. Overfired: hard, gray, with purplebrown tint at core; clean fabric, with some specks of lime.

Normal ware; red-brown, fired yellowish on exterior, hard. Partly burnt. Slight “rough cast” adhering to shoulder (from stacking in kiln). Body lightly ribbed. Temple C, above or on upper earth floor 320 (29A1/12). Other identifiable sherds of this type are rather few on the site; seven or more rims from Trenches 29A, 29A1, and 29A2; very few ribbed body sherds. For the type in general, see Markoulaki et al. 1989: 570–74, with figs. 21–23. Knossos version: cf. Hayes 1983: 142–43, A 1. 51 (C 6092). Cretan type; half of bottom of amphora, and some loose pieces. Pl. 4.67. Est d of body 30.0. Hard pinkish salmon ware, brown on exterior; some fine lime and brown specks, flaking wet-smoothed surface (yellow-buff). Edge of a “button” toe? Temple C, above or on upper earth floor (29A1/12). From an amphora like 47–50, and 53 (most likely 53). Cf. Hayes 1983: 141, A 18–19, fig. 20a. Several other “button” toes are present on the site. Most of these presumably belong to vessels like 53, q.v. 52 (C 2179). Narrow-necked type, Cretan; upper part of amphora, with handles. Pl. 4.67. H pres 18.1, d of rim 6.3.

Rough ridge on interior where neck is luted onto shoulder. Scarp just east of Altar L (29A/20). Perhaps related: Markoulaki et al. 1989: fig. 15f (there classed as Crétoise 1 but shape abnormal for this). 53 (C 2723). Knossos type 2 = Crétoise 1; neck of amphora. Pl. 4.67. D of rim 6.8. Local ware: light orange-brown 6.25 YR 7/6, with lime traces; outer surface fired cream-buff 10 YR 8/5. Handle treatment uncertain (oval sectioned?). Temple C, above or on upper earth floor The Iron Age Pottery from Kommos (29A1/12). For a general study of the type, see Markoulaki et al. 1989: 554–66 (figs. 3, 15, and 16 give the range of shapes). For Knossos versions (rather later than those here), see Hayes 1983: 143, fig. 20. The commonest Roman amphora type identified from the site: 75+ rim fragments and 130+ handle fragments from contexts in Trenches 29A, 29A1, and 29A2; also enormous quantities of plain body sherds of this or related amphorae (some probably going with 47 and 48). Valid figures cannot be given for these, since they cannot be clearly distinguished from body sherds of the local Late Hellenistic type. 54 (C 6080). Toe of amphora, unclassified type. Pl. 4.67. D of toe 6.9. Orange-red ware with some fine dark specks; exterior wet-smoothed, with light brownish tint (about 5 YR 6/8; exterior to 7.5 YR 7/6). Light vertical spatula marks on exterior. Temple C, above or on upper earth floor (29A1/14). 55 (C 391). Amphora wasters, six body fragments. Pl. 4.68. Largest piece 19.5 × 12.3, second largest 12.4 × ca. 14.6; th 0.5–0.6. Overfired to gray, with brownish tint on inner face, greenish on outer face. Exterior blistered. From near-cylindrical body of an amphora, distorted (est d uncertain, perhaps ca. 30). Scarp to south of Altar C (10A1/30). 56 (C 395). Amphora wasters, two sherds. One piece (h 3.8, w 4.6) similar to 55 (th 0.5). Second piece (h 6.4, w 6.5) from a thicker vessel (th 0.8– 1.1). Condition as 55. Gray, blistered. South of Building B (10A2/36). 4. The Roman Lamps from the Sanctuary John W. Hayes Introduction As was noted in the introduction on the Roman pottery from the sanctuary (Section 3), many of the rather numerous lamps of Roman date from the site are complete or near-complete specimens, giving the impression of discards from the shrine. Those found in the surrounding sand (i.e., in Trenches 34A and 29A2) tend to be typologically the earliest—some, closely comparable to mid-first-century-after-Christ finds from Knossos, may actually antedate the The Roman Lamps from the Sanctuary 321 final phase of the temple. The corresponding finds from Trench 29A are a mix of early and late types. In contrast, those from 29A1 (including its lower Roman layers) are generally late. About half of the lamps found are of the peculiarly Cretan Hellenistic–derived type current at Knossos, Gortyn, and elsewhere in contexts dating to the first century after Christ,52 although, as was noted previously (see Section 3, “Introduction”), its earliest versions are absent. The rest are Roman-type relief lamps based on Italian models. Many parallels or near-parallels may be noted with the various Cretan finds published by Liliana Mercando (1974). The few identifiable imports are Knidian products53 of late-first- and second-century types, some modeled closely on metalware (see 72–76). Specifically Knidian influences may be seen on some of the local products (e.g., the peltae in relief on the bottoms of 50, 51, 63, and 67). Two phases may be seen in the Romanization of the local series. In the first, volute lamps are copied, and decoration begins to appear on the discus, while the traditional looped handmade handle is retained; in the second, fully Romanized, moldmade handles become normal. The earlier phase is represented by copies of Siegfried Loeschcke’s (1919) types IV and V,54 and some flat-rimmed versions of the earlier Cretan type with volutes added on the nozzles (see 36–38); these seem typologically to belong to the period ca. A.D. 75–100. The “later” series, perhaps already current by A.D. 100—and here already present in some of the earliest Roman layers—comprises almost exclusively versions of the short-nozzled Loeschcke 1919: type VIII, with either plain or heart-shaped nozzles, and decoration normally on both discus and rim. A few of these are signed (see 57 and 65). The presence here of the signature ΓΑΜΟϒ (on 65) helps to date one of the most prolific known Cretan lampmakers.55 The influence of the secondcentury Corinthian lamps (Broneer 1930: type XXVII) is here virtually absent (see remark under 53), which accords well with the proposed terminal date for the site of ca. A.D. 160–70. From Trench 10A come two very late examples (77 and 78) of the common Cretan Hellenistic wheelmade class with pointed nozzle (see Callaghan and Johnston, Section 1, 585, 694, 695, 869, 870, 898, and 899 for earlier versions). These versions, which exhibit a flaring rim, hollowed on top, above the normal neck collar, could represent an Augustan or early-first-centuryafter-Christ continuation of the type, not otherwise known from Roman contexts. In the following catalogue the commoner types are listed by context, in order to keep assemblages together as far as possible. Finds from areas to the east of Temple C are listed first, and then those from the temple. Classic Cretan First-Century-after-Christ Type (1–35; Pls. 4.70–4.72) Elongated “Hellenistic” shape: circular body, moldmade, merging with a long nozzle with expanded discoid end; grooved loop handle, handmade.

Owing to time limitations, the review was cursory. Whereas there were a number of body sherds in each group examined that might have come from Phoenician storage jars, and one handle was subsequently located by Dr. Alan W. Johnston (Table 4.4, no. 11), the specifically Phoenician storage jar of the seventh century B.C. on is difficult to differentiate from the common Mediterranean transport amphora of the era (Bikai 1987b: no. 585). It is likely that by the seventh century this apparently Levantine type of amphora was being manufactured at a number of centers outside the Levant, certainly in North Africa and Spain. The presence of red ferrous inclusions is often an indicator of actual Levantine manufacture, and only two sherds with such inclusions were found (Table 4.4, nos. 5 and 8); one of these (no. 8), however, was identical with sherds found in earlier levels at Kommos, and so it was most likely carried up from the lower strata. One piece (Table 4.4, no. 9), although very small, appears to be the rim of a small redslipped bowl similar to Bikai 1987b: no. 500, a type known in the seventh century. Another fragment (Table 4.4, no. 10), may be the rim of a jug similar to Bikai 1987b: no. 178, a type Chemical Analysis of Phoenician Imports at Kommos 331 that was most common from the late ninth to the eighth century, and thus may be a holdover from an earlier stratum at Kommos. In sum, although some sherds from Building Q possibly came from the Levant, the near absence of sherds with red ferrous inclusions may indicate that such jars came from other sites under Phoenician influence (e.g., Carthage). In any case, the numbers of these sherds were proportionately insignificant. That fact in itself is significant, for when Building Q was built, Phoenician/Punic materials were quite common at many other sites.

E. Jones and S. J. Vaughan (1988: 391). Nine elements (in their oxide form) were determined. Results All twenty samples are uniform in composition and form one group, characterized by a high calcium content (>20 percent, except for sample no. 8 with 12.7 percent calcium oxide [CaO]) and low aluminum (Al), iron (Fe), magnesium (Mg), and trace element (manganese [Mn], chromium [Cr], and nickel [Ni]) contents. The examples of Bikai’s “crisp ware” (sample nos. 6, 10, 17, and 19) do not stand apart chemically. The best comparanda seem to be with the chemical Group A “Canaanite” jars from MaaPaleokastro in Cyprus, as defined by Jones and Vaughan (1988); the match is good, especially in Mn, but the Kommos pieces are consistently richer in calcium. As for their origin, since the Maa Group A jars were tentatively assigned by the writer to the central Levant, it seems not unreasonable to attribute the Kommos pieces to the same general region. The next two steps are (1) to examine the samples petrographically in thin section, and (2) to compare both the chemical and petrographic compositions of the Kommos samples with those of material from the source areas. Notes 1. A. W. Johnston will treat some of the material in question in more detail in a separate article. 2. The topic has been widely treated in recent years; for a range of views see the contributions in de Angelis and Tsetskhladze 1994; also Snodgrass: 1994. 3. Reviewed by Oren 1984: 7–44. 4. See bibliography in nn. 2–3; for the earlier period, a variety of approaches to the apoikia/ emporion question are offered in Greco 1994; D’Agostino 1994; Ampolo 1994; with surveys of previous work. 5. This layer was originally thought to be a dump. In 1992, however, Trench 82A/B showed that the pottery was from a building that was then given the designation Z (see J. W. Shaw, Chap. 1; Johnston 2000). 6. C 9110, from the area of Building V, is the best-preserved example. 7. It cannot be ruled out that some may be Cretan. 8. A fragment of a Phoenician red-slip plate (C 9551) was found in the 1992 campaign in a mixed, primarily seventh-century-B.C. context by Building F, and a fragment of a second (C 11310) was isolated in 1997 in material from the temple dump. 9. This is an area where labeling remains somewhat uncertain. Published material from various contexts at Knossos has been variously labeled in the past, with the tag “Euboean” gradually becoming more prevalent. For probable Euboean pedestaled kraters of MG date see Coldstream 1992: 72, 87, GD36; Hood and Boardman 1961: 77, re. no. 7. No scientific analysis has been carried out on the Kommos material, and the generic label should be retained for most of the pieces. A small fragment of rim of a late pendent semicircle skyphos (C 3878 from 43A/30, together with seventh-century-B.C. material), scarcely demonstrates significant Euboean presence (cf. Kearsley 1989: 101–4, type 6). Some pendent semicircle Notes skyphoi of uncertain origin found at Knossos are treated by Popham et al. 1983: 281–90; further by Kearsley 1989: 40–41; and in detail by Coldstream 1996b: 403, although without a clear reference to Popham. 10. See Rocchetti 1974–75: 297–98; Johnston 2000. 11. The material in question is in general terms a range of amphorae (probably hydriai too), of normally hard fired, micaceous clay and with restricted banded decoration, although further motifs may be, fragmentarily, preserved. They are first found in what seem to be PGB/MG contexts and continue into the seventh century B.C. There is probably a range of workshops involved; some pieces are very close to what may be Milesian products (Johnston 1993: 366–68, especially no. 120), while others of coarser clay may rather be Cycladic. See also n. 22. 12. One further Thapsos sherd was found in later seasons, in Trench 81C (C 9559, in Building F). Linear kotylai are fairly well represented, as are ovoid and piriform aryballoi; three of the latter, one hare-hunt, one scale-pattern, one linear, were found in a cluster near Base Y in 1993. The other Corinthian forms include rare pyxides. 13. Most Corinthian A amphora fragments from the site are noted in Johnston 1993: 370. Diagnostic fragments were also found in the area of Building V (C 9294 and other small pieces) and in the most southerly trench, Trench 78 (C 9257). The meager record when compared with that of Attic SOS amphorae might be put down to the relative “invisibility” of Corinthian A body sherds against the general “pithos ware” background of many pails at Kommos were it not for the equally difficult problem of distinguishing SOS body sherds from those of “Laconian” jars or indeed local (or Knossian) pithos-amphorae. The apparent ratio of the two types, Attic and Corinthian, is therefore probably soundly based. 14. Most material is included either in the catalogue or in Johnston 1993: 351–55. There are a few more scraps of bird bowls and several miniature cups that may be East Greek; a small fragment of a plate (C 9922) adds to the rare figured pieces. 15. Most fragments come from Building Q (Johnston 1993: 370). More fragments were found in the general area of Building V in Trenches 72B, 73A, and 74A, including a pithos handle (C 8869, from 72B/8). 333 16. This is not the place for a detailed treatment, but I note a few points of interest. Among the earlier pieces there are some SOS amphorae of an early phase (C 9631, from the rear of Gallery 3 of Building P; C 3912 from a piece close to that from Mende, inscribed by a Cypriot [Vokotopoulou and Christides 1995]; also C 9670, which seems to be a very early Lesbian rim (from upper levels in Trench 83C). A better-preserved Lesbian jar with twisted handles (not known to me when I wrote Johnston 1993: 362) is C 7912, from Trench 63A. The publication of a “pseudo-Lesbian” amphora type from Phokaia (Özygit 1994: 88–90) alerts one to further possibilities: a “red” Lesbian handle (C 9697) is a possible candidate for Phokaian attribution. It was found in a context in Trench 83C, where most pottery was of the seventh century B.C., not of the LA period, otherwise the sole home of Lesbian jars fired in oxidizing conditions. Yet the handle diameter, ca. 3 cm, does not seem to tally with that of the Phokaia piece. Very little by way of Phoenician material has been found in the recent campaigns at Kommos. 17. Skyphoi predominate and are mostly of the fourth century B.C. There are some fragments from related open shapes: one lekythos fragment (C 9247), from the lower body, certainly dates to the fifth century, while two net-pattern lekythoi (C 2909 and C 3606) are likely to be later. A lekane rim (C 10431) and a pedestal base (C 7800), possibly from a small bell krater, almost complete the picture. In 1997 the first scrap of red figure was found, a later-fifth-century skyphos fragment from mixed fill in the central court area, with part of the torso of a youth (C 19761 from 101D/18). 18. See Csapo et al., Chap. 2, 94. A second stamp (Csapo et al., Chap. 2, 92), of the fabricant Dios, was found in a mixed context east of Building Q in 1994, and a Rhodian toe (C 10182) in the area of House X (74A/16). See also 620 and 621, the former almost certainly an import. C 2806 is a Koan handle from the temple area (34A/11). A further “mushroom” lip probably of fourthcentury-B.C. date was found in the southern part of Building P (86F/95). 19. Most significant for present purposes, although by no means affording complete coverage of the material, are the contributions by James Brock (1957), Peter J. Callaghan (1992), Nicolas Coldstream (1972, 1973a, 1992), and Mervyn Pop- 334 ham (Popham et al. 1983; Popham 1992). The Fortetsa cemetery, it should be stressed, does not continue into the last years of the seventh century, nor does the Knossos North Cemetery (Coldstream 1996b: 722). 20. See most recently Coldstream 1992; Callaghan 1992; Huxley 1994; Coldstream and Huxley 1999. Didier Viviers (1994, especially p. 243) urges caution. The record at Kommos gives little support to the idea of Sarah Morris that the collapse of Phoenicia in the later seventh century B.C. caused the collapse on Crete; Rhodes and Cyrenaica would require some special pleading to remain unaffected, as archaeologically they clearly are (Morris 1992: 170). 21. For Gortyn see Papadopoulos 1988: 170; Rendini 1988: 266; and add the material presented by Rizza and Santa Maria Scrinari 1968 and Di Vita 1993: 322–23 (Cypriot limestone figurine). The Kourtes cemetery appears to have been devoid of imports (Rocchetti 1988–89), nor does that part of the material from Phaistos so far published have much that is non-Cretan about it (Rocchetti 1974–75, especially pp. 197–98; this material presents a similar, if fainter, picture to that of Kommos), but I note that Jeanette Papadopoulos says that there is “pregevoli” unpublished, presumably Classical, Attic material from Chalara (Phaistos) and Gortyn (1988: 170). The Hellenistic pottery from Phaistos will be published shortly. On current evidence there is a much larger imported element in the material from Arkades, some distance to the east (D. Levi 1927–28). 22. Csapo 1991; 1993; Csapo et al., Chap. 2, 17. Such a Central Greek presence at Kommos throws an interesting sidelight on Aeginetan aspirations in Crete in the following century. For some thoughts on the increasing evidence for broad Hellenic participation in Archaic trade see Snodgrass 1994; Vokotopoulou and Christides 1995; Johnston 1995. Metaxia Tsipopolou (1990) notes Cycladic and possible Euboean imports and influences in East Crete, notably in larger pots. 23. Some fragments with light-on-dark decoration from 81B/50E (C 9650) could perhaps come from such a pithos, as might fragments, generally small, of lids, although the range of possible shapes to which they may have belonged is wide. 24. It should not be assumed that 299 is the only possible example from the seventh century B.C., but it is not easy to find other assured exam- The Iron Age Pottery from Kommos ples of the shape (or range of shapes). The problem with BG body sherds noted in the above discussion (n. 13) exacerbates the issue. 25. For the well, see J. W. Shaw and M. C. Shaw 1993: 167. 26. Attic stemmed cups are uncommon at Kommos, as a perusal of Coldstream 1973a (especially pp. 58–59, with mainly LA material) and 1973b and Callaghan 1978 and 1992 reveals; stemless varieties are more evident but by no means frequent. See also Viviers 1994: 243 (Afrati). Nearer home, the skyphos is found at Kamilari (Englezou 1989: 78, pl. 50a). 27. 282 and 810 are the only two pieces included in the catalogue, and they are obviously of two very different types. See also nn. 8 and 14 for Phoenician and East Greek pieces; C 10450, a probably Late Classical BG example of Cretan manufacture, from 14A/6, has at least one band of applied colour on the floor and is perhaps the sole plate of “regular” type so far located. 28. The extremely fragmentary panther vase (294) is of strong Orientalizing style, but, as its fellows, is of local manufacture. For the type see Boardman 1962: 33–34; Hampe 1969. 29. See Johnston 1993: 355, no. 68, from Building Q; also C 9254 from the southern Trench 78. 30. The material has not been systematically reviewed in this respect, and of course the nozzle is not always preserved. 31. I appreciate very much the invitation by Dr. Joseph W. Shaw to study this material and the helpfulness of the other members of the 1989 staff. I also thank Dr. William P. Anderson for a number of suggestions he made. For the Phoenician imports from Building Q, see Appendix 4.1. For a 1992 report on the chemical analysis of some of the Phoenician material, see Jones, Appendix 4.2. 32.

These groups could probably be consolidated further; e.g., considering the contexts, Fabrics C and D may be the same. Considering its size, Fabric A may represent more than one jar of identical fabric. 34.

Bikai 1978: 68, dated the end of Stratum VI to “?760.” In light of the evidence from Cyprus, particularly from Salamis Tomb 1 (Bikai 1987b: 50, 64, 68–69) that Strata V/IV at Tyre should be dated at least as high as ca. 775–750 B.C., then Stratum VI must be somewhat earlier than originally thought. 45. W. P. Anderson 1988: 195–97; pl. 49, storage jar types 12 and 14; according to his table 9B, type 12 peaks ca. 1150–825 B.C., while 14 appears to peak in frequency slightly later.
