CLOSED COOKING POTS, R-CP8

Description: Very small squat unribbed cooking pot with convex base, everted neck, turned-in rim with a groove on top. One strap handle attached from rim to shoulder. Occurrence: Maresha, in occupational debris of the buildings (dated to the end of the second century BCE, (Levine 999:66, pI.15 122), Tel Iztaba, where a number of complete vessels were found, catalogued as pots in the destruction level, 107 BCE (Sandhaus forthcoming), and Yoqneam, second half of second century BCE (Avissar 199.66: fig. X.3:7). It seems that small pots continued to appear during the first century BCE and at the beginning of the first century CE as indicated by two complete pots found in Jericho (dated to 85/75 BCE-6 CE, Bar-Nathan 2002:72-73, pI12: 151-152. During the first century CE different variations are discussed in the Masada report (Bar-Nathan 2006:144-145). Bar-Nathan prefers to call them mugs (Bar-Nathan 2006:144-145).
