Excerpt from Korakou: A Prehistoric Settlement Near Corinth I. Unsl'ipped.l The fabric, though sometimes thin, is not very good. The clay, usually reddish, is somewhat coarse and contains numerous gritty particles, while the baking is far from perfect. The surface of the vase is bufi, red, or black, or some shade varying between red and black, and is very smoothly polished. Marks of the burnishing instrument are distinctly visible. The material is very fragmentary and no whole vases were found. Shapes that could be recog nized are shallow, round bowls or saucers; deep, wide jars; and askoid pots. No vessel with a raised base was found. In some cases the bottom of the vase was merely flattened out; in others after the bottom was flattened its centre was pushed upward a little, forming thereby a slight hol low under the pot. In this latter form we may have an early stage in the development of the raised base. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
