Discussion/Acknowledgements

Mended, complete. Surface roughened from rot and burning. Base slightly concave, body spherical with slight tendency toward ovoid above base. Neck short and wide. Rim plain flaring, slightly flattened on top. Lip plain. Similar in shape and treatment to Gordion TumB 10, 151-P-41.
