Notes: | G II. Nothing very much -- mostly plain coarse pottery. Some Urfirnis. One piece looks suspiciously Greek. [Tzonou-Herbst= the two pottery entries that follow are similar except for the addition of the Mycenaean in the first entry] [NB 81, p. 346] G II 0.25-0.50 Mycenaean half a dozen poor sherds Plain black Urfirnis characteristic about 36 sherds Patterned Urfirnis. Black on buff 3 pieces red on buff 1. Red brown on buff 1 sherd Light on Dark 3 sherds (white lines) 2 of these I think are identical with Orch. and Ag. Marina type Plain buff 18 sherds unpolished or so Minyan gray variety 2 small bits Black polished 11 sherds Numerous coarse sherds. Some with raised rope band incised with dashes. Obsidian 4 pieces [MN: 79] [NB 85, p. 61, CWB:] G II 0.25-0.50 Urfirnis Red 5 sherds Black 36 sherds mostly a poor glaze often merely a wash Patterned black on buff 3 sherds incl handle of small cup (linear) Red on buff (linear) 1 sherd this is polished Red brown on buff 1 small sherd White on black 3 sherds [MN= bases 1 flat 1raised] There is a ground coat of U.F. black or black brown. On this a linear décor. In white narrow lines on 2 sherds (1 is a flat base wide around bott. Of base with cross lines) wider lines on 1 sherd NB85, p. 62 The two sherds with narrow lines resemble very much the light on dark sherds from Orchomenos and Hagia Marina.
