Western Greece
173. Andravida-Lechaina
(Patras, Peloponnesus)
– settlement. Finds were collected from a dumpsiteafter the archaeological site had been obliterated by construction. Among them are several sherds more or
less resembling Cetina style pottery (Rambach 2007

late 15: d, Plate 16: c, i, Plate 17: e, Plate 18: a, c-f).
174. Korakou
(Corinth, Peloponnesus) – settlement.
Several fragments of vessels of peculiar shapes,decorated in a manner reminiscent of Cetina style,were recovered in the course of Blegen’s excavations
(Rutter 1982: Plate 100: 39, 41, 42).
175. Lerna
(Lerna, Peloponnesus) – settlement.
Fragments of pottery comparable to Cetina style were
recovered from three subphases (IVa, IVb, and IVc)attributed to EH III Period (Rutter 1982: 461, Figures2-3, Plates 98-100; Maran 1987: 79). Among them aremore or less characteristic Cetina potsherds (Rutter1982: #12-15, #18, #20-28, #35-38; Maran 1987: Figure 3:6-8; Nicolis 1998: Figure 6: 5) and fragments of vessels of
peculiar shapes, decorated in a manner reminiscent of
Cetina style (Rutter 1982: #16, #17, #33).
176. Olympia
(Peloponnesus) – settlement. Two
groups of complete vessels were found in the course
of Dörpfeld’s excavations on the floor of an elongated
house with a rounded end. Among them were two cupsand five beakers whose shape and decoration more or
less resemble Cetina style pottery (Dörpfeld 1935: Plate22: 1-5, 7, 8; Maran 1987: Figure 2: 1, Figure 3: 1). The same
layer yielded several flaked stone artifacts, some of them
made of obsidian (Dörpfeld 1935: 101, Plate 22: 17-27). An
open bowl with wide rim, decorated in a characteristicCetina manner, was published subsequently, without
information about its context (Maran 1987: Figure 3:9). All of those finds were attributed to EH III Period(Rutter 1982: 481; Maran 1987: 79). Other potsherds
of ‘Balkan appearance’ have been recovered by laterexcavations. According to their textual description,at least some of them are comparable to Cetina style
pottery (Maran 2007: 14; Rambach 2007: 82-83), but
they have not been illustrated. Notably, the decorativedesigns on about sixty fragments of gray Minian ware,which most likely are of a local provenience, resemble
Cetina style designs (Rambach 2007: 85).
177. Steno
(Leukas) – mounds. Thirty out of about fifty
relatively small and densely packed mounds have beenexcavated, each one girded by a circular drystone wall.They contained more than sixty burials known as ‘RoyalGraves’ or ‘R-graves’. The mounds were erected abovepyre sites, strewn by occasional small fragments ofcremated human bones. They contained pithos burials,cist burials, stone-lined burials, and burials in simplepits, many of them marking later episodes of mound
reuse (Dörpfeld 1927: 217-250). Most authors agree that
the primary R-graves are attributable roughly to the EH
II Period (Maran 2007: 9; Oikonomidis
et al.
2011: 196-
197; Merkouri and Kouli 2011: 207; Müller Celka 2011:418).
