Description
Bibliography

Small intact jug (juglet) found in 1959 at a cemetery on the south slope of the Acropolis. It comes from Burial XV-13 and was deposited as a burial offering along with seven more pots.

Its base is flat and the body almost biconical. The tall neck is cylindrical with slightly outturned rim which the high vertical handle surpasses. The pot’s surface is decorated with double hatched triangles, parallel lines and a series of dots. The lowest part of the body is covered in black paint.
