This is a pithos fabric that is encountered regularly but always in small quantities (usually loners) in the pithos assemblages that I have analyzed from south-southwestern Cyprus. The secondary nonplastic components (if any) are not the same: at Alassa there are some mudstones, at Laona (Palaepaphos) some metamorphics, at Hadjiabdoulla (Palaepaphos) almost nothing else.
