Record details
Partially reconstructible bowl with nearly vertical sides, rounded lip, exterior fire clouding, and a streaky slip on the interior. The base is slightly convex with a diameter of 14.6 cm. The color of the slip in the interior is red (2.5YR 5/6) and light red (2.5YR 6/8). The exterior color is reddish yellow (5YR 6/6) or very dark gray (7.5YR 3/0). The paste is extremely porous due to its poor preservation. This is the North vessel of the quadripartite cache.
Record details
DOA No: 33/200-5:1 This bowl has nearly vertical sides, a direct rim, a rounded lip and a flat base. Slip color on the interior of the vessel is light yellowish brown (2.5Y 6/4) or reddish yellow (7.5YR 6/6). The predominant color on the exterior of the vessel is gray (5Y 6/1), but a red (2.5YR 5/6) or reddish brown (2.5YR 5/4) color is also present. Thickness of the walls varies between 0.4-0.8 cm and the diameter of the base is 15 cm. This bowl is the South vessel of the quadripartite cache.

Record details
DOA No: 33/200-5:11 This bowl has nearly vertical walls and a flat base. It probably had been exposed to fire. The interior and exterior of the vessel have a red (10R 5/6, 10R 5/8) slip that was applied with a mottled effect. The red tends to degrade into a strong brown (7.5YR 5/6). Fire clouding is present on only one area of the exterior part of the vessel. The color varies between very dark gray (7.5YR 3/0) and red (10R 5/8). The vessel is decorated with five circumferential grooves that were formed before firing. The uppermost groove forms the rim, which is exterior and thickened with a rounded lip. Grooves are irregular in shape and width, but basically measure 0.8 to 1 cm and are separated irregularly by a 5-cm span. Thickness of the wall is 0.8 cm. This is the West vessel of the quadripartite cache.

DOA No: 33/200-5:12 This bowl has the same characteristics as the western cache vessel (V# 032) described above except that differential firing is more frequent and the slip is better preserved. Thickness of the walls is 0.8 cm. Diameter of the flat base is 14.6 cm. This is the East vessel of the quadripartite cache.
