1. Çandarli Hayes Form 1 variant Rim (2nd - early 3rd Century)

P. H. .052. Est. diam. rim .25 (1/8 preserved). Th. .004.

K/L16/17.0419:1. Single sherd. Compact pale (5YR 7/6) fabric with tiny white and fewer tiny black inclusions. The dark red interior slip (between 10R 4/4 and 4/6) is evenly applied and smooth.

P. H. .024. Est. diam. rim .14 (<1/20 preserved). Th. .004.

K/L16/17.0419:2. Compact reddish (2.5YR 6/6) fabric with few small dark as well as light inclusions. Red (10R 5/8) slip on all surfaces, smoother on interior.

3. Middle Roman Amphora 7 Handle

The surface is coated and fired same color as fabric.
