Summary
The pottery of middle minoan (MM) IA is related in various ways to earlier traditions; from a technical standpoint, it is the last period in which all pots are still made only by hand. But there are new shapes (Betancourt 1985, 71–7). The teapots with long necks of Early Minoan (EM) III disappear; the range of amphoras, cups (globular, conical, or cylindrical), pouring vessels (bridge-spouted or beaked), and goblets expands. One of the typical shapes of this period is the conical goblet, either footed (eggcup) or footless, common in the area around Knossos (Momigliano 2007, 94–103).
