Comments
Bowl with rounded and incurved sides, a ring base with a drill hole, and a direct, rounded rim. The bowl is slipped on the interior. There is a dark red circumferential line and seven eroded circles painted around the rim. Lines are painted below the rim in 0.4 cm widths and 1-cm separation. The paste is brownish yellow (10YR 6/6) and has large rounded inclusions. The vessel was inverted over the cranium of a young adult burial.
Comments
Construction Phase 2 after the pottery associated with Burials 13-1 and 13-2 were exposed but before the upper wall feature of Phase 3 had been removed, view to the east (note incorrect orientation of north arrow).
