Kaloriziki, Tombs (extracted from McFadden's notebooks)

KALORIZIKI, TOMB 1 (continued)

X P 2236 13. Bucchero juglet, complete and unbroken. Gray-buff clay. Ridge at base of neck as on no.5. Strap handle somewhat oval in section. Higher base ring than on other Bucchero pots. Ribbing and bands as on others. Level -2.63 m. at 0.01 m. above floor.

X P 2262 14. Jug. Brick-colored clay with white bits. Round rim, vertical slightly concave neck, strap handle from shoulder to neck, ridge at base of neck. This pot (unlike nos.1-13 inclusive) clearly belongs to Burial 1 as broken sherd (14a) was found on floor under thrown-out bones of leg, at level -2.63 m., and other sherds (14y) were found under left shin bone (in situ) of Burial 2. When they threw out this pot, some sherds remained behind (14y) and they then laid Burial 2 over these. All on bedrock except sherds under Burial 2. 14a: sherd under thrown-out leg bone. 14b: sherds west of thrown-out leg bone. 14y: sherds under left shin bone in situ of Burial 2. Clearly does not belong to Burial 2. Level -2.58 m. at 0.02 m. above floor.

X P 2263 15. Bucchero amphora. Complete save for small piece in rim, otherwise unbroken. Strap handle from shoulder to nearly horizontal rim. Low flaring foot. Usual ribbing and horizontal bands. Light buff clay. Level -2.61 m., 0.01 m. above floor, among bones thrown out of Burial 1. Almost full of earth. Sand, gravel, human remains - knee and portions of leg bones near top, also shoulder blades, upper arm frag. I see now that skull occupies lower and central portion of amphora. Human remains not cremated as in bronze bowl of Tomb X. It is my belief that these human remains were gathered up and placed in amphora to make room for new burial. At bottom of amphora came jug no.16 but it may not have come into the tomb at the same time. Is this a third burial? Hip and pelvis and feet and hands not noted, but may be found when we study remains, all of which are being kept. Were the remains gathered and collected and placed into amphora belonging to new or former burial?

X P 2228 16. Juglet, trefoil, low foot not unlike that of amphora(no.15) from bottom of which it came. Black paint on body to foot. Black bands at base of shoulder, at base of neck and on handle. Strap handle from shoulder to rim. Found inside and at bottom of no.15. Does it belong to burial found in no.15 or to new burial, and is a gift from the recent burial to an earlier one of a
