page 230 note 4 Similarity of skull types need not necessarily imply that Asine was a Cretan colony, but only that there was a racial affinity between the population of Asine and that of Crete. In the Middle Helladic period there was little archaeological connexion between the Mainland and Crete. Archaeologically the Early Helladic people of the Mainland were akin to the Early Minoan people of Crete and the Early Cycladic people of the islands, and the view that at the beginning of the Bronze Age the E.H. people arrived in the Mainland by way of the islands is widely accepted by archaeologists (Cambridge Ancient History, 1, pp. 603 ff., B. S. A., xxii, p. 180; Blegen, A.J.A., xxxii, pp. 149 ff.; Persson, Asine, pp. 169 ff.; Ridgeway, Early Age of Greece, ii, p. xxvi; Cambridge Companion to Greek Studies 4, p. 247). Descendants of the E.H. people would certainly have existed in M.H. times at Asine, which was a flourishing E.H. town (Persson, Asine, pp. 87 ff.), and so a racial affinity between the population of Asine in M.H. times and the Cretans, as well as a similarity of skull types, can be easily explained without the necessity for assuming a hypothetical Cretan colony at Asine.A. J. B. W.
