page 143 note 9 E.g., the characteristic pottery of the ‘circle style’ is assigned to the beginning of the Geometric period (p. 159), but it does not appear before the end of that period and is common in the Archaic period; the ‘Red Bucchero’ class, which is said to be common 1000–800 B.C. (p. 132), is not earlier than 850 B.C. and is not common earlier than 700 B.C., etc.
