sherd illustrated in the article above
Part from the girth of a butt beaker, in coarse pink fabric and
much coarser rouletting than no. 1. No sherds from the rim or base of this
butt beaker have so far been isolated in the mass of wasters recovered from
the site, but it is undoubtedly of local manufacture as part of the roulette
used in its decoration has also been found (Detsicas 1974b, fig. 8, no.
3); this fragment of roulette shows the same flaws as repeated on this butt
beaker. It is not improbable that this vessel was modelled on no. 1.
