was in common use in the Nubian graves, but was made of other
wares, R. P. J., Bkt., or Bkt. J., and the coarser wares. These
large globular pots appear to be peculiar to Kerma.

Fig. 280 Type R. P.
85. XXIII-1 fK XVIII B:8f
The bowl, R. P. XXIII-1, is a typical Middle Kingdom ves-
sel. The side is decorated with incised lines — an undulating
line alternating with pairs of straight lines. The form is well
known in Egypt in the Middle Kingdom.1
The decoration is also familiar in both the Middle Kingdom
and the intermediate period.2

The two jugs with handle, R. P. XXIV, are of fine red-
brown ware which is harder burned in XXIV-1. R. P. XXIV-1
is larger and more bulging in form than the other jug, and has a
small flat base, not a ring-base. The smaller jug, R. P. XXIV-2,
is exactly like the W. J. XII jugs. This example was found on
the floor of the sacrificial corridor of K IV among the burials,
and is therefore earlier than XXIV-1 which was found in a sub-
sidiary burial in the same tumulus. R. P. XXIV-2 is thus cer-
tainly earlier than the black incised jugs which were found in
K X and K XVI and the R. P. F. D. jugs which were found in
K XVI. Similar jugs are not recorded in Egypt until the New
Kingdom, except in association with the black incised jugs. The
New Kingdom jugs have a different form.
