Description
Bibliography

Part of the rim and body of a large bowl are retained. It was found in 2002 during the Makrygiannis plot excavation, in the area of the kilns ΝΜΑ 24 and ΝΜΑ 25.

The rim is thick and straight. The whole of the surviving part is covered with brownish-yellow slip, while the outer surface is decorated with dark paint on a light background.

The bowl as a shape was a very common household vessel. It could be used in many chores such as washing pots and clothes or food preparation.
