Comments

This entry is created because of the mention "2x" next to the drawing in the excavation report, which seems to indicate that there are two bowls of tpye C47c, alhtough no information is known about this second one. It may have been kept by O.H. Myers as part of his own collection (Mond & Myers 1937: 62).
