Table 11: Vessels forms by period, values

Acceptable sample sizes occur only in Periods 4-6 and 9, with a marginal Period 7. The form content is shown as percentages based on sherd count (Fig.55).

There is little significant difference between the various periods, although Period 4 shows its earlier content mainly from the higher percentage of ‘Closed' sherds, a designation normally used for probable, but not definite, flagon-type cream sherds. Period 7 differs slightly, but is a relatively small sample, while Period 9 shows its derivation in the similarity of its content to that of Periods 5 and 6.
