>INCURVED RIM BOWLS, R-BL2
Description: Description: Angular, thin walled bowls with everted walls becoming vertical in the upper part of the vessel, ending in an upturned simple rim. The bowls stand on a high ring base. All the vessels were manufactured in well levigated clay, even if white grits are occasionally visible. Occurrence: Maresha, third-second centuries BCE (Levine 2003:81, 85-86, fig. 6.2:39--44). It seems to be a local imitation of Knidian vessels (Levine 2003:85). Tel Dor, fourth-second centuries BCE (Guz-Zilberstein 1995: fig. 6. I: 14, 27, l). Jericho, Hasmonean (Bar-Nathan 2002: pJ. 14: 198 with disc base, discussed together with hemispherical bowls)
