Rim and wall fragment.
From a large deep basin. Plain rim, rolled horizontal handle; around wall at level of handle-attachment a sharp raised ridge. Cooking ware fired very hard and somewhat blackened inside.
Probably flat-bottomed; see 1742; also, from Corinth, C-37-2061: Hesperia, VII, 1938, p. 597, fig. 21, 162 and text, p. 599. A fragment catalogued here as a storage bin, 1544, Pl. 68, might come from a similar pot. Such objects could have more than one use; possibly sometimes they served as coal carriers; they would also do for baking bread.
