BOWLS [Fig. 1]
The 23 bowls making up the second group of
wheel-made vessels differ more than the cups
in terms of shape variety and surface
treatment. Decorated examples have also
been recorded.
II. 1. Deep, heavy, large-sized bowls with
slightly conical base, rounded body, rim flat
and slightly turned out. Exterior and interior
surface red-slipped and burnished
horizontally.
Three examples (inv. no. Z10/14,18, Z19/5),
similar in size (diameter 16.5-17.9 cm, height
10.6-12.2 cm).
II.2. Small and medium-size hemispherical
bowls with flattened, sometimes deformed
base, outflared sides, rim plain to flattened
and always slightly turned in. Similarly to 1.2,
the exterior and interior surfaces red-slipped
and burnished horizontally.
Thirteen examples (inv. nos Z10/2, 8,16,17,
19, Z25/8, 11,12, 13, 15, 28, 29, 30) ranging
between 11.5-13.5 cm in rim diameter and
6.9-8.2 cm in height).
11.3. Bowls similar in shape to type II.2,
but representing a different technology
of production. Wheel marks are more
delicate and spaced closer together. Also,
the rim is different, always flattened and
more turned in.
Four examples (inv. no. Z10/1, 3, 4, 6)
varying from 10.3 to 13.6 cm in rim diameter
and from 6.7 to 8.5 cm in height. Exterior
and interior surface definitely red-slipped.
Poor preservation makes it impossible
to determine whether the vessels were
burnished or polished.
11.4. Medium-size bowls, round base, conical
shape, sides outflared, plain rim tapered in.
Decorated with horizontal grooves under the
rim and white painted spots on the rim top,
possibly four zones of six dots in each case,
but the pattern is partly eroded. Exterior and
interior surface red-slipped and polished.
Three examples (inv. nos Z25/19, 25, 27)
ranging from 12.0 to 13.5 cm in rim
diameter, height almost identical —■
8.3-8.4 cm.
