Description
Bibliography

Almost intact ware used in everyday housework. It was found in 1957 on the south slope of the Acropolis. It is flat-bottomed with tubular walls and the horizontal handles adjust just below the wide, outturned rim. Both the body and rim are ribbed horizontally. Most of the pot is still covered with yellowish slip.

Pots of this type were used regularly during housework, like laundry, kneading dough, cooking and serving food.
