148 THE ARCHEOLOGICAL EXCAVATIONS IN ANAU. 
(F) Pitchers with handles (fig. 227). Hitherto this form has not been found 
at all in the older pottery. 
(G) Stands ‘or supports, with indrawn sides and projecting margins (figs. 228 
and 229). Here, too, a comparison with the corresponding forms of the 
older pottery is very instructive. 
(H) Thick-walled service vessels (pithoi), like figs. 230-232, and similar wide- 
mouthed kettles, as in fig. 233. In this category belongs the pithos 
found in situ in the outer digging (see plate 19, fig. 5). 

Certain forms that were found in the upper strata stand isolated and without 
analogies, owing to their peculiarity. First may be mentioned a small bottle 
of light-colored clay, height 7.4 cm., with a narrow throat and a sharply set-off 
shoulder (see plate 9, fig.6). Still more doubtful is a small jug of gray clay, height 
6.5 cm., which was found just under the surface in the upper digging (plate 9, 
fig. 5). Since ware of gray clay does not occur at all in the unmixed layers of 
culture IV, we must assign this little vessel to the older pottery and assume that 
it has come accidentally into the upper strata. A sure proof of the greater age 
of the gray ware is furnished by the finds in the outer digging. Here it is wholly 
wanting and consequently can not be brought into harmony with the youngest 
development of the hill.
