- Comments
- Nos. 42-46 belong to another puppy dinner assemblage (Greenewalt 1978 , no. 26) recovered from an extramural occupation quarter at Sardis (excavation sector PN), located ca. 350 m west of the lower city fortification wall and close to the (present) Pactolus stream channel. No. 42, like No. 38, does not have cooking-ware fabric, although they resemble in shape standard Lydian cooking pots (e.g. Nos. 61, 63).
