Discussion/Acknowledgements

The 2024 sample inventory assigns this bowl (Fig. 10:4; 17/A/001/007) to Sample 1.8, illustrated as a fresh break in Fig. 23 (Stern et al. 2024: 59, 68). The same photograph appears in Stern 2021, Fig. 2, whose caption refers to Fig. 1:5; its embedded caption calls it Bowl No. 4. The earlier figure/object concordance remains unresolved.
