^{page 192 note 1} It has been suggested that there may have been a neolithic occupation of the Cycladic Islands (AJA, LV, 130 f.). Were this not so, it is strange that Melian obsidian should be found in neolithic contexts both on the mainland and at Knossos. Nevertheless, without putting undue faith on negative evidence, one may well wonder why the special attention paid to the Cyclades by archaeologists of every nationality during the past hundred years has not as yet unearthed a site of certain neolithic date if any such are to be found.

In 1930 there appeared short notices of ‘sub-neolithic’ material found by Welter at a settlement site on the outskirts of Naxia on Naxos (JHS, L, 244Google Scholar; AA, 1930, 134). In view of the obvious importance of the discovery I went to Naxos in 1950 in the hope of seeing some of Welter's finds now in the Museum: by good fortune, Dr N. Kontaleon, Ephor of Antiquities in the Cyclades, was then in course of excavating Welter's site more thoroughly, and most kindly allowed a brief examination of the finds.

The early material in question is found both on the seashore just outside Naxia, and opposite on the small islet known as Palatia; the narrow stretch of shallow water between probably covers some part of the site, which was occupied also in Mycenaean times. All the pre-Mycenaean pottery I saw I would refer to the Early Cycladic period, although coming from a settlement site it has not the characteristic gourd shapes and herring-bone ornament of the well-known Early Cycladic tomb groups. Sherds in a dark burnished fabric comparable to that of Thermi include parts of bowls with incurved rim, and of bowls with marked internal bevel on the rim, elongated horizontally perforated lugs apparently situated near the rim, and larger strap handles: the coarser fabrics, reddish and without burnish, include pieces with plastic ornament again reminiscent of Thermi. There was also part of an incised Cycladic ‘frying-pan’.

Considering the paucity of what is known of Early Cycladic domestic pottery, and the close correspondence of these wares to the Troy—Thermi series, it would be foolish until further evidence is brought forward to assign them to a phase earlier than the Early Bronze Age.

^{page 202 note 1} Although these grooved pieces tend to be coarse, there is no comparison with the special grooved class of Samos and Kalimnos described on pp. 186, 191, which is much thicker again, belongs to unusual types (i.e ‘libation tables’ and pedestalled ‘pot-stands’ at Tigani, and the object shown on Pl. XIX, 19 in Kalimnos) and has spiralmaeander patterns for which there are no parallels at Agio Gala.

^{page 203 note 2} Mellaart's observation that the development of lugs at Troy and Thermi is not the same is misleading (AS, 4, 197); the most common type at Thermi in Phase A is a tubular lug like those of early Troy I (see Thermi, 76); at both sites this type is succeeded by varieties of the trumpet-ended type in the later phases.
