^{page 369 note 3} Compare, however, with the Melian house the very similar two-doored façade of a Middle Minoan house shown in the porcelain plaque from Knossos, , B.S.A. viii. 17Google Scholar, Fig. 9, b.

^{page 372 note 1} With results that are pitiable, time-honoured tradition that has preserved an analogous eccentric arrangement of doorways in Cretan household architecture to the present day, is only now beginning to give way under the exotic architectural influence of Parisian Athens. Symmetrical façades of portentous loftiness now glare at one in their flaunting paint along the narrow lanes, and the old interior courts with their lovely show of flowers will soon become a thing of the past.

^{page 379 note 1} The recent influence of Italian house-forms in the case of Sardinia, and of French ones in that of Corsica has worked much confusion. And the result is lamentable when the time-honoured rules about the sheltering and isolation of the central hearth thus come to be ignored. For a stranger, existence in such an environment of acrid smoke blown about by draughts is simply impossible.

^{page 380 note 1} Modernizing influences are bringing in the cooking-oven and the wall fire-place with chimney.

^{page 381 note 1} Collusion with foreign house types in which the central hearth did not play a part was a fertile source of anomalies in later times. This was apparently what happened with the Frankish house of the Middle Ages.

^{page 389 note 1} There is thus no longer any need for the suggestion made in B.S.A. xii. 254–5.

^{page 389 note 2} Noack is evidently somewhat perturbed by the presence of the porches with side-door at Arne and strives to ease his conscience by explaining them away as a case of concession to special circumstances. He then warns us as to what we are not to think about them: ‘sie dürfen daher nicht etwa als Vertreter eines besonderen Haustypus mit antenloser, allseitig umbauter Vorhalle … angesehen werden.’ Hom. Paläste, 20.

^{page 398 note 1} The back door of the East Megaron at Arne, as we have seen, preserves more than a mere reminiscence of an earlier state of matters in which the b'ut and b'en system played a more prominent part.

^{page 399 note 3} With this supposed connection of the architectural phenomena Noack seeks to bring into touch the speculations of Hubert Schmidt and others to the effect: ‘dass die neueste Forschung immer häufiger die Uebereinstimmung zwischen alttroischer und jüngerer neolithischer Keramik der Balkan- und Donauländer beobachtet, und im Sinne einer Kulturströmung in nord-südlicher Richtung zu deuten geneigt ist.’ On all this see now especially Class.
