cloth bowl Explanation: perhaps leather bowl? hoewel het raar lijkt dat er 'scherven' gevonden zijn. Versteend misschien?

'patchwork' dish Explanation: http://www.angelfire.com/me/ik/picpot2.html These dishes were decorated using combs to create patterns that criss-crossed forming patches. If you search for bronze age pottery it is a decorative style that occurs from time to time There are images of this to be seen on http://www.ancienttouch.com/neolithic-bronze-age pottery.htm -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr 29 mins (2005-04-19 14:26:02 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- It may also be known as \'combed ware\' |
