| Collection: | | Corinth | | Type: | | Object | | Name: | | Z 440 | | Title: | | LID | | Category: | | Miscellaneous | | Category Code: | | Z | | Object Number: | | 440 | | Description: | | Small shallow saucer (or lid) with a hole pierced directly through the bottom. Small, flat base (the bottom of which is marked by string lines), spreading sides, with an angle at the shoulder, from which they rise almost vertically to the rim. The rim is plain with a slight outward roll. No handles. The purpose of these little utensils is not perfectly clear; they would serve very acceptably as lids for jars. The hole would permit the escape of steam when the jar was used to boil liquids. | | Material: | | buff clay | | Condition: | | RIP | | Period: | | Late Helladic III | | Findspot Description: | | Potter's Shop, Zygouries | | Bibliography: | | Zygouries fig 146 | | Site: | | Corinth | | City: | | Ancient Corinth | | Country: | | Greece | | References: | | Publication: Blegen, Zygouries: a prehistoric settlement ... 1928
