| Stratum: | Trench P VI | |
| Notes: | P VI 1.20-1.40. This level very rich in sherds. Two baskets. Some Mycenaean fragments, some local Corinthian but chief feature of the level are sherds of Minyan vases. One of typical Minyan shapes can be practically restored from the pieces [p. 225] we found. At level of 1.25 below ground near south end of trench we have struck a stone wall running ca. east and west. South of wall [1.30 crossed out] 1.31-1.35 below ground is a cobble stone pavement. [p. 360] P VI 1.20-1.40 LM III is characteristic frequent 40 or 50 sherds painted and almost as many unpainted. 3 red painted sherds of much better quality Coarse sherds are numerous 29 Minyan is characteristic ca. 45 sherds of gray Minyan incl. parts of 3 large wide bowls. [sketch of Minyan goblet; base of vase is circled and question marked] [AddN on left side of vase: wide flat handles ringed base 2 or 5 black Minyan sherds (= black polished imitation)] Tzonou-Herbst= The vase is published in Blegen 1921, p. 16, figure 20, now on display in the Greek Gallery, Case 40, Shelf 3 middle. The circle around the stem and foot and the questiomark is due to the fact that, as Blegen himself notes in the caption of the above figure, the stem does not join and may be from another vase.
