The Prehistoric Archaeology of the Aegean (Dartmouth College) — Lesson 9: Middle Helladic Greece (Memento vom 17. Mai 2011 im Internet Archive): „The appearance of bichrome or polychrome matt-painted wares used to be considered another phenomenon of the late MH period, but it now seems that the vast majority of such wares belong chronologically to the Late Helladic (LH) I period, although in most technical and stylistic respects they can hardly be differentiated from earlier MH matt-painted wares.“
The Prehistoric Archaeology of the Aegean (Dartmouth College) — Lesson 9: Middle Helladic Greece (Memento vom 17. Mai 2011 im Internet Archive): "Indeed, complete coatings or even broad expanses of solid paint are extremely rare in {Middle Helladic Matt-painted} pottery, possibly because the paint (or slip) in question was more difficult to acquire or prepare, hence more “expensive”, than the semilustrous paint/slip (“Urfirnis”) utilized in the preceding EH II-III periods."
