These consist of ten sets of rim sherds, a section of a body and portions of a base. Although it has not been possible to join these major pieces, a possible recon- struction of the shape is shown in Figure 25H. This was arrived at by matching the curve and thickness of the middle section with the known diameter of the rim. The cross-hatched section represents an area of overlap of the middle and base sherds. 2. Sherds with quartz and other inclusions This material is generally of fine quality, well finished and apparently well fired. Reconstructions undertaken during 1974-5 have resulted in the partial rebuilding of seven small vessels shown in Figures 25A-G and 26-29 which show a marked divergence from the norms of 'Strandloper' (or Hottentot). cm Fig. 26.
