[Chap. XL Similar objects are found all over the Troad; I picked up some ofthem from the surface on the sites of Aeanteum and Ehoeteum. Theyare also frequent in Greece, but there they do not occur with am not aware that they have been found elsewhere. It has beensuggested that they were used as weights for fishing-nets ; but this iscontradicted by the neat appearance of these objects, for none of themshow marks of wear and tear; besides, the slightly-baked ones would atonce deteriorate in the water, while the delicate figures in the stampsare ill adapted for submersion. I would therefore suggest that, like theornamented whorls in the five pre-historic cities, these neat objects withdouble perforations served in the Aeolic Ilium as ex-votos to the tutelarydivinity, the Ilian Athene. Of the Greek terra-cotta lamps found in the ruins of Novum Ilium,I represent one, No. 1473, which has a pillar-shaped foot, 7 in. long. No. U75A. Ko. wT; No. 1473. A Greek Lamp ona tall foot.
