Bibliography

Cooking pot mended of many fragments and restored. It was found in 1963 in well Ε on the south slope of the Acropolis, in the area where the Stoa of Eumenes was later built.

Its ring base is high, the body globular and its outturned rim wide. It has one vertical handle. The pot’s surface retains clear traces of fire due to its use.
