- Description
Late in TR or early in EC. One half preserved, from the rim to the foot, and reconstructed from two large pieces. Near the rim are two thin horizontal lines. Seventeen vertical bars and seventeen dabs are preserved in the handle zone. Sixteen horizontal lines appear on the body. Below, a reserved area is followed by a band of glaze which touches the tips of the rays. Portions of seven rays are preserved. The rays are short and their bases are placed fairly far apart. The underside of the foot is reserved on its resting surface. The slope of the foot ring is glazed. There are also two concentric circles of glaze in the center of the convex area. Glaze: light brown to reddish brown, much worn. Clay: fine, smooth, and hard. Yellowish beige, somewhat darker yellow on the exterior. Munsell no. 10 YR 8/4 (very pale brown).
Kotylai of this type were popular in late TR and early EC. The Corinthian pottery found on this level in this area of HoB is otherwise TR (supra, "Stratigraphy,"5).
