148 THE ARCHEOLOGICAL EXCAVATIONS IN ANAU.
Pitchers with handles (fig. 227). Hitherto this form has not been found
at all in the older pottery.
Stands 'or supports, with indrawn sides and projecting margins (figs. 228 and 229). Here, too, a comparison with the corresponding forms of the
older pottery is very instructive.
Thick-walled service vessels (pithoi), like figs. 230-232, and similar wide-mouthed kettles, as in fig. 233. In this category belongs the pithos found in situ in the outer digging (see plate 19, fig. 5).
Certain forms that were found in the upper strata stand isolated and without analogies, owing to their peculiarity. First may be mentioned a small bottle of light-colored clay, height 7.4 cm., with a narrow throat and a sharply set-off shoulder (see plate 9, fig. 6). Still more doubtful is a small jug of gray clay, height 6.5 cm., which was found just under the surface in the upper digging (plate 9, fig. 5). Since ware of gray clay does not occur at all in the unmixed layers of culture IV, we must assign this little vessel to the older pottery and assume that it has come accidentally into the upper strata. A sure proof of the greater age of the gray ware is furnished by the finds in the outer digging. Here it is wholly wanting and consequently can not • be brought into harmony with the youngest development of the hill.
