Description

This group includes a krater (No. 1), an oval/carinated jar (No. 6), and a "Phoenician Bichrome" flask or jug (No. 14). The fabric is non-carbonatic, rich in iron and silty (~30%), porous, dark brown to red in PPL with some iron accumulations and iron ooids (50-100µm). The silt contains mostly well-sorted angular quartz, poorly sorted angular nari, chert and feldspars. The a-plastic components consist of spherical terra rossa bowls (up to 200µm) with silty quartz inclusions , poorly-sorted angular nari (~5%, 100-400µm), some siltstone, and sub-angular well-sorted quartz (~50µm). It is also possible to see eroded basalt (Pl. 1:1) and occasionally scattered alkaline feldspars (up to 50µm) .
