Description

(a) Bowl, completely crushed and flattened. Had originally been folded over as well, but has since been partially straightened. Original shape uncertain, but seems similar to 67-39-9 in fabric. Has small pieces missing. Very uneven patina: granular green to smooth reddish, almost bare metal in places. Two small joining frags., apparently broken off when the bowl was straightened in modern times. (b) is rim frag., one end folded over inward. (c) is tiny amorphous fragment. Bowl is decorated with a row of tiny shallow dots 3 mm apart and 4 mm below rim. (b) has spear incised on it like those on 67-39-1a and 67-39-13 (see drawing).
