DESCRIPTION Two-handled jar with everted rim. Handles on opposite sides of upper body are flat with slightly depressed center. Bottom flat. Paste medium, grey-brown. Surface outside light brown with light grey and light buff stains; wheel marks at neck. Inside coated with grey. Decorated around neck with a red-brown line over a dark brown zigzag line within borders of the same colour. On upper body two panels almost identically decorated with horizontal lines are separated by the handles. In one panel 13 lines are present: from top downward, 6 red-brown, 3 dark brown, 4 red-brown; the opposite panel contains 14 lines: 7 red-brown, 4 dark brown, 3 red-brown. Red-brown stains on the handles suggest that they too were decorated. The design is crude, the lines not well drawn. |

|
DESCRIPTION Sherds from the rim, neck, and shoulder of a large crater. The surface of most sherds was poorly preserved, the patterning only being discernable on three sherds that were burnt in the destruction. Large crater, diameter not measurable, with slight seating for a lid inside the rim and an external bead below the rim. Part of one handle is extant. The soft fabric is pale red with a thick buff core containing both grit and vegetal temper. Patterning comprises a panel of white ground outlined with dark red to black paint, two parallel lines of which divide the panel into two horizontal registers. Each register contains compass-drawn concentric circles. The painting is competent but somewhat slapdash. |
