Description
Large food storage jar that has been restored. Fired in an oxidising atmosphere, it has a simple, triangular lip, ovoid body, wide cylindrical neck and flat handles with striations. This jar was found in the excavation of the district of Republican houses in the archaeological park, broken and laid out flat to form a hearth. It bears two stamps of potters written in the Iberian language.
