—out of the pieces enumerated here, the bowl from grave 98, Pyrgos, Paros, is lost; thus, the identification of this example is problematic. Getz-Gentle 1996, 79; K.

However, the find-circumstances are not always certain: in grave 5, Ayioi Anargyroi, Naxos a green stone handle of an awl lay in the bowl, Getz-Gentle 1996, 79, D19

—with references. In grave 56, Panagia, Paros, there was not a pigment crushing implement under the bowl, but a conical obsidian core, Chr.

Beside the bowl of grave 98, Pyrgos, Paros (presently irretraceable; therefore, it is not certain which type it belongs to), lay a conical marble pestle, and traces of red paint were preserved on both: Tsountas 1898, 159, Ehv. 8, 13;
