(from p.55 VIII ··collapse of the wall.) Daniel reported finding in addition to the sherds one fragment of a black glaze lamp and two fragments of Roman lamps, one being of Type 27 (O.Broneer, Corinth, Results of Excavation Vol.IV Part II: Terracotta Lamps Cambridge, Mass. 1930, p.90); also various fragments of Roman glass (see below). The sherds listed in the chart represent Daniel's summation, which could not be entirely controlled. To supplement this scanty information Miss Frances F. Jones, of the Princeton Art Museum, has graciously provided the following selective analysis of such Hellenistic and Roman material as could be found among extant sherds. Numbers refer to sherds illustrated on Plate

1-2 Brown-black glaze; base rings. Hellenistic. 3-4 Grayish biscuit with lime particles, matt gray-black glaze; base rings. Could be Hellenistic of a [handwritten: local] variety, but more likely earlier. 5 Red glaze; base ring. Probably Hellenistic bowl {hw: (although glaze resembles that of "Pergamene" ware) since the dribble of glaze on the lower exterior wall is typical of Hellenistic provincial pottery. 6 Red glaze; base ring. Glaze on exterior only, so possibly from jug. Probably Hellenistic, but "Pergamene" ware not impossible. 7 Red glaze; incurved rim of "Hellenistic Pergamene" plate. Cf. H.Goldman, Excavations at Gözlü Kule, Tarsus(Princeton 1950) Fig. 188. Cf. Tarsus I Fig. 188. 8 Red glaze; base ring of "Hellenistic Pergamene" bowl. Cf. Tarsus I Fig. 188. 9 Red glaze; from angle of "Roman Pergamene" bowl with sloping lower body and upright rim. Cf. Tarsus I Fig. 194 From similar shape, but probably later (harder biscuit, thinner glaze), i.e., second century A.D. 12-14 Red glaze, orange-red biscuit; extremely low base rings, marked off by grooves. "Roman Pergamene" Cf.Tarsus I Fig.193. 15 Red glaze; from rim of nearly hemispherical bowl. Probably "Hellenistic Pergamene". Cf. Tarsus I Fig.188. 16-19 Scraps of "Pergamene" ware. 20 (a) two fragments of Roman glass of first century A.D. (b) fragment of early Roman glass, blue, of ca. same date as (a) even later. (c) Fragment of Roman glass, probably second century A.D. or yellow-green, no color but with bluish reticulate design (Sh 425). (d) fragment of Roman glass, no color but with bluish reticulate design (Sh 425).

Handwritten marginal note: 9 Red glaze; from angle of "Roman Pergamene" plate with horizontal (flow and) upright rim. Cf. Tarsus I Fig.193.
