Vgl. Middle Bronze Age on the greek mainland – Minyan pottery: „This pottery was named after Minyas, the mythical king of Orchomenos, since Minyan ceramics were first unearthed in the Middle Helladic strata of this settlement.“
Vgl. Middle Bronze Age on the Greek Mainland – Matt – painted pottery: „Another type of Matt Painted pottery resembles the Minyan ceramic technique. In this case, the potters followed the production procedure of the Yellow Minyan pottery but the surface of the vases was decorated according to the Matt-painted style.“
Vgl. Middle Bronze Age on the greek mainland – Minyan pottery: „The most common closed shapes of the Gray Minyan pottery are the amphoriskos, usually a miniature vase found mostly in grave complexes of the Middle Helladic III period (1650-1550 BC) and the jug.“
Vgl. Middle Bronze Age on the greek mainland – Minyan pottery: „Central Greece is considered to have been the main production centre of Minyan pottery since it is the region where the largest quantities, many Minyan varieties and the most authentic examples occur.“

Vgl. The Prehistoric Archaeology of the Aegean (Dartmouth College) — Lesson 9: Middle Helladic Greece (Memento vom 17. Mai 2011 im Internet Archive): "Until about 1960, Gray Minyan was often identified as the pottery of northern invaders who destroyed EH civilization ca. 1900 B.C. and introduced MH material culture into the Greek peninsula. However, Caskey’s excavations at Lerna as well as more recently excavated sequences at several other sites have made it abundantly clear that Gray Minyan, rather than being new in the MH period, is the direct descendant of the fine gray burnished pottery of the EH III Tiryns culture.
