The excavations of 1908 more than fulfilled expectations in the amount of light that was shed on the later history of the Spartan pottery, so that it is now possible to write an account of the development and decline of the Laconian fabric; which account, beginning in the ninth or tenth century, ends with the latter half of the fourth, when the pottery loses its local characteristics in the various styles that appear to have been common to the whole Greek world during the last three centuries before the Christian Era.

page 31 note 3 This name λάκαινα I propose to give to the vase-shape illustrated B.S.A. xiii. p. 129, Fig. 7, c. The name is given by Athenaeus (Ath. xi. 484) to a drinking vessel, so-called either because it was made of Laconian clay, or because it had a shape much affected in Laconia. The shape to which I would apply it is very frequent in, if not confined to, the Laconian style, is not suited by any name in use, and may well have been used for drinking.

page 37 note 1 One fragment was said last year (B.S.A. xiii. p. 132) to be without slip. This was a mistake, the only odd point about the vase being the grey colour assumed by the clay.
