- Description
Fragment of a large round cooking pot with a boss. The boss was impressed in two directions, making an X across the top surface. Made by a round-shaped implement such as a small bone that was pressed in the clay. The broken fragment was apparently cut down for reuse, perhaps as a game piece. Clear evidence of burning. Compare HoB 209 and HoB 263.
