Comments

This very elaborately decorated flat-bottomed dish was found lying upside down during the Area B excavation in 1985 (see Fig. 3.7). The main motif, defined top and bottom by RZ6D-4 zone markers, consists of a PK102 “medallion” flanked to the left by motif PK473 and to the right by motif PK474. Mofif PK473 is executed in very fine dentate stamping, while PK474 is executed with very fine incising. Below the RZ6D-4 zone marker, the base edge is decorated with a row of dentate circles (A417) and below that SC1151. The inner edge of the lip is similarly decorated with A417 and SC1151 motifs.
