Abstract

Unglazed bottle has a flat base that narrows before expanding into the body. At the shoulder, the bottle assumes a funnel shape and supports a neck for 4 cm. before flaring to the rim. The rim is finished with a standing collar. The bottle bears whitish residue along one side from foot to rim, indicating that the bottle lay horizontally and partly in the ground. The base is irregular; the bottle cannot stand.

Alt Text

A three-dimensional model of a ceramic bottle with a unique shape. The vessel's base flares slightly at the very bottom, but is otherwise the narrowest part of the bottle's structure. The base expands gradually to form the main body of the vessel before briefly tapering back inward just before the body connects to the cylindrical neck. The opening flares upward slightly from the neck and the rim of the bottle is wide and distinct. The 3D model can be freely moved, rotated, and zoomed in and out to allow the viewer to inspect the object from multiple angles. A small, still image of the object is also included, with the object against a white background and a measurement scale in centimeters below it.
