A guide to the antiquities of the bronze age in the Department of British and mediæval antiquities . an figures, already men-tioned, some of which assumequite conventional forms, onetype resembling a violin : sil-ver occurs in the tombs, but not gold. Pottery was plentiful, but most of it was madewithout the wheel, and decorated with incised designs, and, at the end of the period, with painted geometrical ornamentand spirals, the latter possibly transmitted from Crete. Thisgreat island, which had developed a system of writing long beforethe Phoenicians, had been in frequent communication with Egypteven before the twelfth dynasty, and had become both politicallyand artistically the dominant power in the Aegean. It is probablethat Egyptian influence goes very far back, and Cretan stone-vase forms recall those of the fourth dynasty. But there is goodevidence that bronze was known at any rate at the close of thetwelfth dynasty, for at Hagios Onuphrios near Phaistos a bronzedagger and spear-head were found with pre-Mycenaean marbleidols and scarabs showing twelfth-dynasty influence.

There wasno abrupt division betweenthe Cycladic culture andthat which was to succeedit; the transition betweenthe two is gradual, and theremains found at Melos andother islands, in the oldestsettlements at Mycenae, Tiiyns, Athens and else-where, prepare the way forthe remarkable civilisationof the Mycenaean period. The Mycenaean culturewas most widely extended
