Comments
This vessel belongs to the group of C-ware vessels bought by Myers during the first season of excavation, that likely came from cemetery 1400-1500, which had been disturbed 'recently' before they undertook their excavation (Mond & Myers 1937: 9). Myers kept the ownership of the vessel according to the excavation report (Mond & Myers 1937: 62).
