I would like nothing better than to draw a diagram, but I am afraid that wouldn't do.
It will come to about fifty double-spaced pages. I have not given a full catalogue, but have segregated the pots into 47 types, giving the catalogue numbers of the members of each group, and saying from which burial they come, and then discussing their origins, and any signs of a development within our examples.

I am also giving what I believe to be a satisfactory refutation … continues
