13.10.26 Shallow bowl; horizontal rim with two holes for suspension at one side, one of the holes has a thin piece of rope in it (modern?)and clay; the base is slightly bulbous (the shape is slightly irregular leading to an incline of the rim to one side); interior smooth; 'ridges' can be felt on the exterior where the clay was turned on the potter's wheel; short, wide resting surface.
34.10.8 Short cylindrical knob, with grooved flat top, grooved profile, and conical stem broadening to the slightly domed top of the lid. At the midpoint of the lid, beyond a gentle groove and a ridge, the lid flares to a rounded edge, the underside of which narrows to a tapering straight sided walls that would have sat inside the vase to which it belonged (perhaps a stamnos). The underside of the lid is hollowed, rounded, and smooth.
60.1.5 Bell-shaped mouth with high outturned rim and broad, slightly convex lip;long neck widens to shoulder with smooth contour to ovoid body; vertical strap handle rising from top of neck and rejoining at bottom of shoulder; short ring foot.
61.6.1.4 Very uneven in shape. Surface left very rough. The lip is uneven, leading into a very open interior which is widest at the mouth. The body is rough, while the base is also roughly made with no smooth finish to the edges.
68.12.3 Pomegranate shaped knob, with small hole in the recess at the top, smoothly attached to a short stem, slightly concave, that spreads to a short domed lid, which in turn spreads to a flat rim with sharp beveled edge, slightly thicker underside, smoothly turned to a tapered flange with a rounded edge. Hollowed, round, smooth underside.
83.2.4 Horn shaped fragment, with smooth outside. Pointed one end and moderately flat on the other.
83.2.5 Horn shaped fragment, with smooth outside. Pointed one end and moderately flat on the other.
E.23.14 Slate palette, flat and smooth in the shape of a birds head (?). More recognisable in the shape of a 'boomerang'. The palette thins towards the edges. Hole in the arc for suspension. Edges are not sharp but curved.
E.62.40 Three pieces. Lid is circular and flat with a central knob handle, also circular. Second piece is the ring which sits between lid and base and is circular with a central hole cut out and a rim on the underside so it sits in the base. Base is wide at shoulder and tapers to the bottom with smooth walls. At top is a slighlty raised rim to receive ring. Inside is a hollowed out cylinder, not to the contours of the outer wall.
E.62.5 Smooth pin, round and tapering to a point.
E.62.8 Deep sided bowl with curved sides and no significant base meaning bowl is slightly unsteady. There are two incised bands on the outer surface around the rim and a more significant ridge on the inside where bronze has been folded over to make a smooth and safe edge.
E.65.5 Almost circular, underside rounded, surface smooth and very slightly convex.
L.2011.1.58 Smooth outside, ridges on the inside.
REDMG:1935.87.25 Rounded rim on everted, slightly overhanging lip that curves into a short, broad neck; two vertical strap handles rise up from the neck and rejoin at the shoulder; smooth join to barrel-shaped body; short ring foot, concave on the underside by convex at the centre.
REDMG:1964.1612.1 Main body; circular with long nozzle, low girth, rim of large circular filling hole is stepped down from the shoulder.

REDMG:2004.97.1 Plain rounded rim; tapering walls, slightly concave, broaden slightly at the bottom of the bowl, which is moulded with two carinations; diagonal profile to bottom of bowl; tall cylindrical stem, slightly bulging at the middle, curves out to a flat disk foot, with rounded sides, but an indeterminate bottom. Two vertical strap handles swing up from the rim and rejoin the vase at the lower carination, where they comprise a smooth curve with the bottom of the bowl.
