4. TYPOLOGY

Morphology

Roster Date Author Record
Components (within element) 1999-06-30 mkb in the sherd lots from f228 there are two ceramic pedestal bases which may be ceramic statue bases similar to the one I am presently reconstructing for i30. One similar example had been excavated in f222. It is possible that these bases are part of low pedestal bases but this type of base has the open portion all the way to the base. These three examples have a concave base at the bottom and the hollow portion above. The statue has the hollow above the base, so not parallel in type to the pedestal bases. [Input: A10-12.j]
