Comments

This flat-bottom dish lacks decoration on the interior. The flat lip is decorated with zone marker RZ4D-3-2. On the exterior the decoration begins with motif FOH144, below which is zone marker RZ4D-3R-2. The main motif (PK447) is of the “dumbbell” type. Motif CS70-1 runs along the base of the rim. The dentate stamping is finely executed and lime in-filled. An additional feature of this vessel consists of two perforations situated 7.6 mm below the lip and 13 mm part, each with a diameter of 3.5 mm, passing through the vessel wall. These perforations were likely intended to allow cordage to pass through the vessel in order to secure a lid to the dish.
