DOA No: 33/200-5:4 A well-preserved bowl with incurved-recurved sides, a collared neck, and a flat base. The basal diameter is 7.8 cm, which is the same measurement for the height of the neck. The vessel is a brownish yellow (10YR 7/4). The paste color is a yellowish red (5YR 5/6) and has a fine texture with probable calcite and iron particles. This vessel belongs to the basal Late KÕatabcheÕkÕax construction phase in Operation 7, but is a type that doesnÕt become popular until the Early NohalkÕax. The vessel represents an example of precocious craftsmanship and was, most likely, an import to KÕaxob.
