Abstract

Three motifs used in eastern Crete during the Middle Minoan period are catalogued and discussed. Their presence in datable deposits is used to establish the development of the individual motifs and the progression of the style as a whole. Triple plumes were used from MM IA until MM III (or slightly later); linked discs were employed from MM IA until LM IB; discs and loops are only known from MM III/LM IA. There was little appreciable change in the appearance of these conservative designs during this period, though changes can be detected in the form of the vases on which they occur.
