POTTERY PROM CULTURE III, SOUTH KURGAN. 139
High cylindrical feet, projecting far, in part with rich profiles; they belong to the fine bowls, C (figs. 170-173). Broken specimens on plate II, figs. 4-6.
High, hollow feet, into which the walls of high vessels merge; very characteristic of the light-colored clay pottery of the middle strata (fig. 174). Broken specimen on plate I1, fig. 7.
Vessels with spouts. This spout is either in the form of a depression on the lip of the vessel or a beak-form on a special tube; or is simply in the form of a nozzle, as in vessels intended for pouring (figs. 175-177). A whole vessel of this form, reproduced on plate 12, fig. 1, lay in terrace B at the level of +23 feet 5 inches.
Service vessels or pithoi standing firmly embedded in the earth, with profiles like the large kettles (figs. i78-181). Of these there are fragments of pithos

a, fig. 179; of pithos b, fig. 180; and of pithos c, fig. 181, all from the upper digging. The lip-piece of a tray-like vessel is given in fig. 182 (see plate 19).
Stands for larger vessels, open both above and below (figs. 183 and 184). The last-mentioned specimen has a cruciform pattern incised in the outer surface. The smaller stand comes from the upper digging between + 25 and + 33 feet ; the larger one from terrace B, between +3 I and + 23 feet. No other examples of this form were found.
Isolated forms. Among the burial gifts of skeleton No. 23 in terrace B, there was found, besides the above-mentioned cup (plate Io, fig. 2) an egg-shaped vessel like a bottle, with a narrow neck (plate 12, fig. 2), height 13.2 cm. A pear-shaped bottle, of which the neck was broken off, height 15.1 cm. (plate 12, ;fig. 3), was presumably also a burial gift, as it lay
