KALORIZIKI, TOMB 1 (continued)

relative? A similar problem is:did the amphora containing no.16 belong to Burial 2 and was it used to store the bones of a previous burial, or was it an amphora found already in the tomb, one belonging possibly to the persons whose bones were found by us in it? Or did it belong to Burial 1. Answer to the last question is No, as I see we have three skulls in tomb, one of Burial 2, one of Burial 1 and one of amphora which we may call Burial 1B.

P 2241 17. Bowl like no.2, brick-colored clay. Level of one sherd in NW corner -2.62 m. on bedrock. More southerly sherds somewhat higher among thrown-out bones. Base ring. Horizontal loop handle (probably another on opposite thus far missing side). Clearly no.17 does not belong to Burial 2.

P 2259 18. Lenticular flask much like no.10 but coarse ware. a,b Brick-coloured clay painted black concentric circles on red field. Broken, seems incomplete. Level, lowest sherd, -2.53 m., 0.07 m. above rock. " highest sherd -2.40 m. Lowest sherd among thrown-out bones. Clearly does not b elong to Burial 2.

L 2257 19. Lenticular flask like previous one but much smaller. Level -2.37 m. at 0.20 m. above rock-hewn floor. Clearly does not belong to Burial 2.

P 2246 20. Small amphora. Biconical body, horizontal rim, strap handle from shoulder to rim, flaring foot. Complete and unbroken save for two pieces in rim. Level -2.43 m., 0.07 m. above floor. Burial 1.

P 2245 21. Small amphora. One handle an ordinary loop handle, the other like this Light brown clay, black bands, triangles and wavy lines in black paint. Two broad black bands also inside rim. Base ring. Biconical body, vertical neck, narrow horizontal rim. Level -2.48 m. at 0.07 m. above floor. Burial 1.

P 2242 22. Bowl much like no.2. This bowl was placed here before the Buccheo pot No.23 next to it, as it is lying slightly over it. Birck-colored clay. Grooved lines encircling bowl just below rim and also round lower part of bowl. On sandy soil. Level -2.35 m. at 0.18 m. above floor. Burial 1.
