Ceramic Finds

Now that the excitement has subsided, and sober sense has prevailed, and the pieces have been replaced, and the authorities notified . . . I shall return to dolmen-hunting.

Here’s what I found:

Here is the neck of the amphora, with the handle stump protruding at the bottom. It is lighter and thinner than the handle-stump below.

This is the stump of the handle, at the neck of the pot or urn.

This is the amphora handle, or arm.

This has now been identified as a tegula or roof-tile. Intact it could weigh 7 kg.

View from above – again it should read: tegula

This will eventually be given a more accurate name than pot.

. . . and this will one day be identified.
