Comments
The card for tomb 71 mentions "fragments of red-polished vessel with white paint decoration" (according to Ehrlich (n.d.: 45), which were apparently not otherwise documented. It is possible that they are the same as these fragments (they were found during the 1910 season, when tomb 71 was excavated), but this remains uncertain. Note that tombs 30 also containted a C-ware vessel (or fragments?) according to Ehrlich (n.d.: 55).
