D.21; qullae with relatively bulging bodies
- in room D.21, lowest layer, and in sector
D (Nd.98.042, Nd.98.246). These vessels
are attributable to the 9th-10th centuries.
The pan Nd.00.263 (Fig. 4:10) is small,
c. 12.0 cm in diameter, with a rounded rim
and sharply carinated wall, flattened but
rounded bottom and a massive handle with
a knob on the underside that served to
support the pan stably on a flat surface.
A few big pans, almost twice as big in
diameter, were recorded from assemblages
in sector D (e.g. Nd.92.336 and Nd.92.337
from courtyard D.15, Nd.95.138 and
Nd.95.184 from room D.24, all from
layers dated to the 9th-11th centuries).
A similar form (without handle) is dem-
onstrated by vessel Nd.88.205 from room
Fig. 5. Amphorae-from the pottery deposit found in Room AA.40.2: 1 - brown clay; 2 - red clay,
white slip; 3 - red clay (Drawing M. Zurek)
