No. 1182 is a lustrous-red one-handled wheel-made cup : thisshape does not occur in the third, the burnt city, but it is very frequentin the fourth as well as in the fifth pre-historic city of Troy. No. 1183 is a one-handled red hand-made pitcher, with two breast-likeexcrescences. No. 1184 is a one-handled wheel-made vessel of cylindricalshape; it is of very thick unpolished clay and very rude fabric: like thevessels of this shape found in the third city (see No. 347, p. 381), it isparticularly massive and heavy in its lower part.
