Passek T. La céramique Tripolienne

Les Éditions d'état, Section sociale et économique, 1935. — 163 p.T. Passek is entirely concerned with the way the splendid spirals that went right round the pots degenerated into a symmetrical and metopic arrangement of weak lines. Besides the polychrome pots, and those he calls monochrome which were nearly as attractive, some pots have the spirals incised ; and there are other pots with a decoration of fluting or grooving. The interrelation of these series on various sites gives him a basis to establish three periods traceable over the whole area, a fourth peculiar to the Desna and Dnepr areas inland, and a different fourth period and a subsequent fifth on the Dnestr and along the coast. Period two corresponds to CucutenY A, period four on the Dnestr to CucutenY B. Chvojka’s A is period three, his B period four on the Dnepr.
