Title:   Vessel Fragments: Cooking Ware
Category:   Pottery
Description:   Greater part of vessel, mended into two large pieces: a) over half of rim and shoulder with one handle and adjacent belly, b) one side of lower body, c) two joining sherds with second handle, d) two joining belly sherds, and a bagful of ten loose sherds. Partially burnt with lower exterior blackened and some soot patches elsewhere.
Large cooking vessel (boiler) with internal perforated flange for draining overflow. Broad, rounded body, hemispherical below, more flattened at shoulder. Tilted near-upright rim and broad internal flange, together forming a shallow channel, perforated by holes at intervals (two, edge of a third with a fourth? missing), allowing draining toward interior. Two round-sectioned tilted handles set laterally on outer edge of shoulder. Wheel-formed and beaten out against a mold. External rim lured on with fingernail impressions around outside at the junction. Fine vertical burnish marks all over the body.
Thin brown clay with gold mica (biotite) and dark specks.
Aiginetan ware. The basic form (with strainer on internal flange) is one known earlier in Etruscan bucchero.
