piece consists of a square containing a cross in form like the mica ornament, 11 of the list of
Mica Ornaments. In 13, the rectangular piece consists of four rectangles, each on the side
of a square which contains a X-mark. On the fragment from K 329, there is a square
crossed by two pairs of parallel lines in X-form. On the fragment from K 1606, the rec-
tangular piece is of inverted T-form.
This ware is in a class by itself, and the decorations at first sight gave the impression
that the piece 12 above, was intrusive. But 13 was certainly not intrusive, and pieces were

these bowls are from the original burials in the cemetery.
