page 320 note 1 Akhenaten (Akh-en-Aten) is Mr. Petrie's name for Khu-en-Aten or Chu-en-Aten. I follow his spelling throughout, simply to avoid confusion.

page 320 note 2 This was Mr. Petrie's own hypothesis in dating the Ægean vase from the tomb of Maket at Kahun. See Illahun, Kahun and Gurob, p. 24 :—‘Thescarabs must have been nearly all old ones when buried. The latest is of Tahutmes III, or 1450 B.C., and probably contemporary with him, by the style of i t : whereas the character of the beads, of the pottery, and of the coffin all shew that two or three centuries had elapsed since the scarabs were made.’

page 322 note 1 Petrie, Illahun, Kahun and Gurob, §37 on pp. 16, 17. Cf. Journal of Hellenic Studies, vol. xi. p. 274.

page 323 note 1 Petrie, Illahun, Kahun and Ourob, § 45 on P.24, If then we take 1100 B.C. as a middle date for the Phœnician pottery and the Ægean vase, it will be reasonable. This consorts well with the dating for other Ægean pottery. The earliest geometrical falsenecked vases are about 1400 B.C.; that early style appears to die out about 1200 B.C. ; and therefore the earliest figure pattern, such as this ivy, may well belong to a century later. Cf. Journal of Hellenic Studies, vol. xi. p. 273, This tomb belongs to about 1100 B.C., or within fifty years of that either way. p. 274, We have then carried back a chain examples in sequence, showing that the earliest geometrical pottery of Mykense begins about 1400 B.C. and is succeeded by the beginning of natural designs about 1100 B.C. p. 275, We have dealt with facts which are now hardly controvertible as to the well fixed age of these vases.
