Description
Bibliography

Handmade cooking pot mended of many fragments and restored. It was found in 1959 at a cemetery on the south slope of the Acropolis and comes from Burial XVII-14 where it was deposited as a burial offering next to the burial-jar along with three more pots.

Its base is slightly rounded and the body ovoid. Over the wide neck the rim is outturned and there is one vertical handle. The outside surface is burnt due to the pot’s contact with fire.
