Bibliography

Ware used in everyday housework. It was found in 1959 on the south slope of the Acropolis. It is mended from many fragments and restored. It is flat-bottomed with flaring walls, horizontal, ribbed rim and small horizontal handles. The inside of the pot, the rim and the handles are covered with brown-black paint.

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