G.K. 115 (plate 50, fig. 1), 70 cm. below the surface of the hill, at the entrance to gallery III—a slender
jug with narrow throat, with broken-off handle and margin; height 12.6 cm.
G.K. 205 (plate 50, fig. 3), from the outer digging II, together with the great pithos—a deep, broad
cup with the margin rising vertically from the somewhat in-drawn top of the belly, and two
handles; height 16.6 cm.
Plate 50, fig. 2, from the upper digging—a slender pear-shaped jug with small foot and narrow throat;
handle and margin broken off; height 20.2 cm.
G.K. 207 (plate 51, fig. 1), from 12 feet deep, in a shaft on the plateau of the outer city—the body
of an ornamented pitcher with a broad throat and large bottom.

Besides this rough service pottery, glazed fragments were also found, but
they were relatively rare. Among these glazed clay lamps are noticeable. As is
shown in G.K. 77 (plate 51, fig. 2), they are little depressed bowls, with a small
foot surface, clover-leaf shaped opening, contracted in front, and with a high,
narrow handle. The glaze is of one color—yellow or green. The specimen repre-
sented was found in outer digging II with a great pithos, many fragments also being
collected. Besides this a specimen was found in outer digging I, between the
surface and 4 feet depth. In the upper digging they were entirely wanting.

(b) GLAZED POTTERY.

To be carefully distinguished from the technique of glazed lamps are the other
finds of glazed pottery. Five different kinds of glazed pottery are distinguishable:
(a) With incised patterns. The glazes, which run together in the grooves, are of
several colors—green, yellow, and white (G.K. 65, 119 to 121, 123, 155,
188, 190).
