6. Bowls. The precursors of form 6/a are found both in the Anatolian Beyce Sultan 13 ' and the Thracian Zgaljevo, 133 though they are no frequent shapes. In Greece it appears in the Middle Helladic Age, an exact parallel may be mentioned from Malthi. 131 The antecedent of form 6/b is known from Veselinovo 13 * but it exists also in Thessalia 136 in the Early Thessalian period already. Type 6/c is a typical Troy V basic form. 137 8. Beakers. Our characteristic Somogy vár type 8/a i one of the basic forms of Troy III —V, 138 even a quite near parallel 139 is found there. Good analogies to the wide-mouthed variety are furnished by Vardarophtsa, 1 ^ Hagios Mamas, 141 the upper layer of Banjata. 1 * 2 Type 8/b equally belongs to this circle, as it is proved by its parallels at Vardarophtsa liS and Razkopanice. 1Ai 9. The cup is a Troyan basic form too, 145 it occurs, however, in the whole investigated area, e.g. at Deve Bargan li(i or Veselinovo. 1 * 1 We cannot close our analysis without mentioning a few characteristics of the Schneckenberg —Glina III complex, having a special importance from the point of view of the Somogyvár group. Naturally all comparisons we have made as regards types 1/a —b, 2, 4, 6, 8 a and 9 are valid for the former too. As regards the connections of the wide-mouthed, two-handled cups we allude to the analysis of the dominant form of the Pitvaros group. The statements on our type 3 are holding good also for the Glina III and Gyula groups, containing its specimens in several cases. The Aegean origin of the askoi, occurring in the Schneckenberg, Gyula and Glina III groups equally, is so evident as to induce even S. Fuchs to include them (together with the one- and two-handled jugs) among the local basic forms. 18 Nor can they be absent from the Somogy vár group, in our judgment, 132 S. LLOYD—J.

They date both pieces to earlier (Baalberg or Salzmünde) complexes. at least we might come to this conclusion by the appearance of Aegean askoi in the Late Neolithic of Central Germany, touched by Somogyvár influences too. 140 We cannot fail to recognize the Hagios Mamas precursors 150 of the one-handled, wartornamented beakers, occurring in several examples in the Schneckenberg and Gyula groups. 151 Finally the special vases with ansae cornutae, resembling leather hoses and typical of the Schneckenberg group 152 have a series of parallels at Junacite 153 and Razkopanice. lbt These connections make the basic, southern character of the Schneckenberg В — С culture evident, doubted by a part of scholars owing to the northern and eastern elements contained in it, nay mainly because of such elements of the erroneously attached Gesprengberg. As regards the connections of ornamental motives the first place is occupied by the Hagios Mamas 155 parallels of the striped lozenge patterns decorating the Nezsider (and Tinódul) handle. We meet this motive also en the belly of an Early Bronze Age vessel in the Cyprian Vounous. 156 In the Anatolian —Aegean Early Bronze Age we find almost a single pattern on the bulges and necks of the vases: a zigzag pattern of incised lines, identical to the Somogyvár specimens. To mention a few examples only, this is seem at the Anatolian Gözlü Kule, 151 Kusura, 158 Konya 15d at Thermi on Lemnos, 160 at Azapkoj in Thracia, 16il at Veselinovo 162 the Macedonian Hagios Mamas 163 and Vardarophtsa. 1Si Also at Vardarophtsa 165 we find an example for the surface divided into two halves (the lower one furroved, the upper one plain) by я lattice made up of finger impressions on the bulge, as seen on the Ajka water-jar, and for the similar partition of the surface of the store-jars. 150 W.
