The bowls type xvn a, b and type xvm are, I believe, characteristic of the i—2 dynasties, Di^erence
occurring neither in the predynastic nor in the third dynasty. We have never found a bowl between
predy nastic
with a thick rim in any of our four predynastic cemeteries. Nor is there a single example ^/re-
recorded in the description of the predynastic graves at Nagada, Diospolis, el Amrah, el Kab ybowis.
or Hierakonpolis. None are recorded from the Menes tomb nor from the tomb of Dt (Zet).
But they are found in the other royal tombs of the first and second dynasties, see II R. T.
xlvi—liii. The third dynasty forms are xvnb 18-26, c and xvmu-13, see Mahasna xn—xm.
These bowls probably performed the function of the predynastic broad pottery bowls.
