HARVARD AFRICAN STUDIES
during the second baking. For the degree of heat applied in the baking played some role
in the production of the stripe, because it is more common in the better baked and finer ex-
amples and appears not to occur in the soft-baked vessels. Thus it is clear, whether the
technical method was exactly as I have described or not, that the Bkt. ware of Kerma was
produced in a manner quite different from any hitherto deduced for black-topped, red-
polished pottery.
The examples of Bkt. ware are given in the following lists under thirty form-types:
1. Bkt. I-VIII, beakers.
2. Bkt. IX-XV, bowls and basins.
3. Bkt. XVI-XXVIII, pots and jars.
4. Bkt. XXIX-XXX, several unclassified forms.
Discussions of separate groups and types are given passim in the lists. It is to be noted
that Bkt. IX and XV are Nubian forms, as shown by the pottery in the Nubian Cemetery
at Kerma, that Bkt. XXIX consists of two pots of “fancy” forms (ostrich-shaped), and
that Bkt. XXX has an incised decoration (cf. Nubian Bkt. J.).
