The material is a greenmicaceous schist. Found in K 3 : 7 at a depth of Fio. 170.—^Hemispherical SteatiteBowl. (1 : 4.) Fk;. 171.—Dish of Micaceous Schist.(1 :4.) j. Several circular steatite lids, mostly of the same material as a—g are usually furnished with a central knob and resemble the examplefrom Kahun, dated by Professor Petrie to the Twelfth Dynasty and figured inCretan Pictographs, Fig. 120. There is no reason to think the Phylakopiexamples earlier than the vases found in the same Mycenaean are without the central knob. One has concentric zones on its upperside, mounting in steps towards the centre.
