Ilios; the city and country of the TrojansThe results of researches and discoveries on the site of Troy and throughout the Troad in the years 1871-72-73-78-79, including an autobiography of the author . pth, 26 to 30 ft.) is represented in PL vi., No. 10, of Dr. Joseph Hampels Antiquites pre-Mstoriques de la Hongrie. No. 419 represents, in l-5th of the actual size, a large yellow double-handled amphora with a convex bottom. I have put on it one of thecrown-shaped vase-covers. Of a similar shape are the dark yellow orbrown amphorae, Nos. 420, 421, 422. This last has on the body a longexcrescence in the form of a breast or teat curved downward. As avery great number of the large Trojan jugs have a similar excrescence,always curved downward, I would suggest that these excrescences,which have almost the form of hooks, served as an additional supportfor the rope with which the Trojan women fastened the jugs on then-backs when they fetched water from the springs. Amphorae like theseare very abundant in all the three upper pre-histonc cities at Hissarlik, [Chap. YII. THE THIRD, THE BURNT CITY. 398 but, strange to say, the shapes of Nos. 419, 420, 421, 422 have never yetbeen found
