Type 26
Plate XLVI., Type 26. Bowl of fine hard-textured grey ware. Height about 3½ inches. This type is illustrated from the incomplete fragments of a single bowl found with early vessels in Pit LXXVIII. The outline of the bowl expanding from a comparatively small foot-stand is graceful, as is also the curve of the overhanging rim.

Plate XLVIII., Type 39. Shallow bowl of hard fine-textured yellow-grey ware. Height 2¼ inches, diameter 77⁄8 inches. The whole of the interior is coloured by means of a fine white slip.
