Ceramic vessels

 

13 ceramic vessels, of which a small jar (i14), a bowl (i45) and a small strainer (i16) where found intact in the ground; two jar were almost completely reconstructed (i2 and 19), one is a jar with missing neck, found all fractured but held in shape by the soil (i4, see photo of how it was found V14d7552). In this case, the lack of the upper part and the extremely fragile condition of the ceramic made its reconstruction not a priority; the jar has been taken to the dig house with the dirt inside.
