APC Image: AK 0908Above: Five sherds of Red Monochrome Ware, MH period. Sherds of polished monochrome are fairly common. Some pieces seem to belong to vases made in imitation of the Gray Minyan ware. Top row right: part of the ringed stem of a goblet. Top row left: shallow saucer or plate. Bottom row: Shallow bowls with two pierced lugs projecting from the shoulder of the vases. Below: Three sherds of "Argive Minyan" ware, also rather common. The shapes correspond in the main to those of the Gray Minyan ware, but the workmanship is poorer and the clay much coarser. The rings on the stem are as a rule more numerous and less regular than in the case of genuine Gray Minyan.
