From a test made in 1908 north of the Theatral Area of the palace at Knossos came a unique triple-bodied jug in a mixed Early to Late Minoan fill. The fabric, decorative style, and motifs support an EM IIA date for this unusual vase. The jug may have been meant for funerary rather than domestic use
