HARVARD AFRICAN STUDIES
(1) Type iii-i. Slender cylindrical jar with disc-rim
Type III—1 is the characteristic graceful jar with slightly spreading base. The form
with exaggerated base of the same date was not found. All are of alabaster.
List of Type III-l:
1. K 439:21; h., 8.6 cm.; Fig. 161, No. 1.
2. K 1000A: vii; fragments.
3. K XVI A, No. vii; fragments.
4. K XVIII A, No. iii; fragments.
5. K VIII, No. ii; fragments.
6. K XIV South, No. 12; h., 8 cm.; Fig. 161, No. 2.
7. K XXI, No. i; fragment.
8. K XXXV, No. i; rim.
9. K XXXVIII, No. i; h., 5.7 cm., fragment.
10. K XL, No. iii; fragment.
11. K B 14, No. ii; fragment.
(2) Type iii-2. Toy jar of same form as Type iii-i
The only example found was of steatite:
12. K II debris in front (see Vol. V, p. 128); h., 3.6 cm.; Fig. 161, No. 3.
Fig. 161. — Scale, |
(3) Type ih-4. Wide cylindrical jar with disc-rim
Type III—4 is the Vlth Dynasty form of which many inscribed fragments were found
at K I, with fragments of Types III—1 and II—1. Some fragments of an alabaster rim and
a large lid were found in K III, but may have been intrusive.
13. K III A, No. ii; fragments of rim and lid; the lid had a diameter of about 15 cm., and the
rim appeared to fit the lid.
(4) Type iii-3. Small flaring basin
Type HI-3, as explained above, is really a different type from the other forms of Type
III. It is of diorite.
14. K 1096:46; h., 5 cm.; Fig. 161, No. 4.
4. TYPE IV. ROUGH QUARTZITE CUPS (BOWLS)
These rough cups of grey quartzite are not well made, as is often the case with very
simple forms. The examples from Kerma are made of the local quartzite and do not differ
greatly in form from a long series of such vessels, reaching back to the Predynastic Period.
Such simple, rude forms are in fact not datable, as they may occur almost anywhere at
any time.
