Extract

In this article I wish to present in detail a number of vases which have received only a brief mention in publication until now, or are otherwise unpublished. Most are chance finds from inhumation burials discovered during cultivation or road building. Some of the graves were slab-cists, but the majority were simple pit-graves. In some cases they were grouped together. No traces of tumuli survive, but this possibility should be considered. By comparison with material from neighbouring areas and from associated finds, this pottery can be dated to the Early Iron Age, c. 1000–700 B.C.
