KALORIZIKI, TOMB 1 (continued)

P2762 missing, 195442. Bowl with two handles broken - apparently thus far incomplete. Coarse brick-colored clay. Encircling black bands on body. Rounded bottom. Level 2.33 m. at 0.05 m. above floor, over sandy soil. Some human bones inside - also no. 43 - but these may have gotten in by chance. See Film 167-53-55.

X P 276143. Juglet, small, handmade. Dark grey throughout. Pinched lip, handle from shoulder to lip. Inside and near bottom of no. 42.

P 276344. Flattened spherical hollow terracotta ball with small holes. Concentric circles in black paint. Resembles body of lenticular flasks. Level -2.23 m. at 0.05 m. above floor on sandy soil.

X P 226045. Small bottle with handle from shoulder to neck. Cup shaped mouth. Round bottom. Brick-colored clay. Level -2.17 m. at 0.31 m. above floor (floor just to north).

X P 276046. Amphora. Strap handles from shoulder to rim, nearly horizontal rim, low foot. Buff-colored clay, zig-zag lines between encircling black bands on shoulder and neck. Groups of black bands across rim. Level 2.24 m. at 0.25 m. above floor. Human remains, including skull, inside, where they were deliberately placed. I am calling these remains Burial 1d.

X P 225447. Jug. Foot flaring, strap handle. Brick-colored clay. Decoration uncertain as very dirty, but seems to have black bands round body. Broken in many pieces, mouth missing. Level -2.30 m. at 0.10 m. above floor.

found, measured 6.3 cm before cleaning / but lost during cleaning. / missing, 195448. Bronze pin. Level -2.57 m. at 0.03 m. above floor, up against west wall of tomb.

X Sh 654 / 1954, one sherd found, / joins #23 (P 2237)49. Two Bucchero ware sherds by 14y - same level. Will be interesting to see to which of Bucchero pots this belongs. Clearly it belongs to a thrown-out pot.

a. Frag. thigh bone, see plan. Level -2.29 at 0.14 m. above floor.

b. Frag. skull. Same level.

c. Thigh bone, about complete - left thigh. Level -2.54 m. at 0.08 m. above floor.
