| Comentarios: | Middle-style Olive Jars are the most widely distributed and frequently occurring Olive Jar form. John Goggin distinguished three basic body types for the middle-style jars. "A" type have a height ranging from 52 to 58 cm and a diameter of 22 to 29.5cm. "B" type have a height of 23 to 29cm and a diameter of 20 to 23cm. "C" type are apparently uncommon; the only example measured by Goggin was 26.6cm high and 12.6cm in diameter. In 1985, Stephen James added a new body type not previously described. "Form III" is distinguished by a globular body, flat concave base, and a ring neck with a pronounced lip. Other chronological refinements based on form can be found in Marken (1994 ) and Avery (1997) |
