bands in a broad chevron design on the upper surface of the plate and 

 a red band around the hp, all on a cream-buff ground slip (fig. 65, h).

MISCELLANEOUS RED SLIPPED VESSELS 



One example (Find 11-3) of the chalice shape, so common at He-1, 

 with an estimated height of 17.5 cms. and a diameter of 12 cms. was 

 recovered. Other shapes included collared jars and plates. Find 3 

 was a straight-collared jar with a rounded base, two opposed strap 

 handles on the shoulder, and a short collar which extended upward 

 vertically from the shoulder and terminated in an unmodified lip. 

 The orifice is wide (10.5 cms. compared to an estimated total diameter 

 of 18 cms.) and the vessel is 16 cms. in estimated height. The vessel 

 interior is smoothed and brushed, the exterior and lip interior are 

 red slipped, and the base is fire blackened. Three medium to large 

 squat-collared jars were recovered, two of which (Finds 4-o? and 15) 

 are similar enough except in overall size to be described as one. 

 Body interiors and collar exteriors are smoothed and brushed and 

 are unslipped, retaining the buff-orange color of the paste. Collar 

 interiors and body exteriors are red slipped with a thin slip or wash. 

 The collars are relatively short and are outcurved with a rounded 

 lip. The bases are rounded, and the orifices are relatively wide. 

 Find Ai-d has a diameter of 25 cms., an orifice diameter of 15 cms., 

 and an estimated height of 17 cms. Find 15 had a maximum diameter 

 estimated at 38 cms., an orifice diameter estimated at 24 cms. and 

 an estimated height of 27 cms. A third vessel (Find 4-6) is con- 

 siderably more globular (estimated diameter 34 cms., estimated 

 height 30 cms.), has a more constricted orifice (diameter 8 cms.), 

 and a tall straight collar with an outward flare and a lip which is 

 flattened and flanged outward. Surface treatment, however, is the 

 same for this vessel as for Finds 15 and 4-6, and the base is rounded. 

 Find 12, another round-based collared jar, has a tall straight collar 

 with an outward flare and an unmodified lip; its shape is roughly 

 globular with a diameter estimated at 20-25 cms. The body interior 

 is smoothed and brushed. The collar interior is unslipped and 

 apparently intentionally decorated with more or less evenly spaced 

 dribbles of red paint or slip. The lip and entire exterior including 

 the collar has been treated with a soft, fugitive red slip or wash. 

 The interior of the base is fire-blackened. 



Plates were rare at He-2; only one example. Find 14-1, was found. 

 This is a fairly flat vessel (diameter estimated at 20 cms., height at 

 3.5 cms.) with a round Hp and unmodified base. The upper surface, 

 the lip, and that part of the under surface within 5 cms. of the lip, 

 are covered with a thin red slip or wash.
