SHERDS FROM TRENCH 75 (see plan & section p. 67, copied from McF.)

Tr. 75 3rd stratum Depth from 2.30 (transl. from Greek). P. 507, 2a: Hell. -- frags. of pots & [casseroles?] ware with flaring rims and simple rims. the whole profile P 1615 of a coarse ware bowl of the general type of P 1525 but with the rim less bent down, and the raised flat base sl. uneven public instead of having a spiral from the wheel; also bases of other bowls, one uneven public the other with wheel spiral; toe & part of handle of local coarse ware amphora (toe like inverted whorl); plain white ware [pts?] Rhodian, 1 [pt?] possibly doublehandled type. Not selected micaceous clay

Tr. 75, 4th stratum. From 2.75 to p. 507, 3: Sack contains as reported only 5 small frags. and the greater part of an P. 1616 amphora toe. None of these bits seem to belong to others in trench 75 Of the other 3 are undistinguished frags. of thin casserole ware, the other is of light red clay with bits and rather porous surface, interior corrugated from wheel & fired dark grey -- in fact it looks like a piece of a bell-shaped phiale, cf. P1593. If so, (drawing) and if it has not got associates. wrongly (cont. p. 71) with this lot,

(SHERDS FROM TRENCH 43, CONT.) 70 (II) (Plain ware pot) flaring peg with depression center underneath (red clay white bits, prob. local); button type (drawing) (some white bits in red clay); but numerous black and omphalos type like an inverted whorl & rounded within. Handle frags. mostly ribbed or grooved vertically, some roughly grooved, none twisted; one frag. prob. Rhodian; one white larger type marked A found at Apollo (cf. P 1434, etc.); one oval in section as on Corinthian and some Roman jars. (light red clay, buff surface but somewhat rough for Corinthian); one broad thin ribbed [might be from a stamnos? - a heavy flat base of local red ware might be from the same] Rims: Many downturned rims, clay light red and buff but micaceous (i.e. not Corinthian); one from rough plate or open bowl, the rim flat with grooved outer edge, prob. local clay with many white and other bits. one from amphora (?) the downturned outer part of the rim concave as with a groove from finger pressure (clay pitted, buff to grey, with light slip); one (heavy coarse ware, with grey surface) is of very heavy, with a flange, might be part of a drain pipe but diameter seems too great. Coarse ware, among pieces of local ware oberian, rim, handles -- body frag. of roughly made pot, red clay, many white bits.
