Brief Overview

Plates and platters like bowls are open forms with rim diameters, in this case, much wider than the height of the vessel. Their rim diameters range from 15-40 cm. The number of plates and the wider platters was not large.

For an extensive list of plates and platters from all periods we have excavated see cross-plates.
