peer agreement (net): +4usage/handling/purpose Explanation: The terms above only describe what is meant. This is about the location and orientation of handles, lips, indentations etc. that indicate how the piece of pottery was handled or used - for instance, as a cup, a cooking pot, a drinking vessel etc. Possibly translatable as "handling elements" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 25 mins (2014-06-18 08:24:36 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The terms listed all apply to pottery finds, complete, in parts or as shards. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 30 mins (2014-06-18 08:29:29 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- An example of "Handhabe" and "Mündung" for an amphora. A two-handled (Handhabe) pottery jar with a narrow neck (Mündung) used by the ancient Greeks and Romans to carry liquids, especially wine and oil. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 37 mins (2014-06-18 08:36:12 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry, a little unclear on my part. The Mündung is the opening at the top of the neck (Hals) - hence the listing of the diameter. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 54 mins (2014-06-18 08:53:33 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Handhaben - Handhabe - Griff [Ha-1 bis Ha-12] From this site - http://www.vml.de/e/inhalt.php?ISBN=978-3-89646-515-3&print=... This is in Duden: mittelhochdeutsch hanthabe, althochdeutsch hanthaba = Griff, Henkel -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2014-06-18 11:15:47 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I suppose you could translate it as "Grips/handles" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 22 hrs (2014-06-19 06:36:10 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- According to this site http://interactive.archaeology.org/zominthos/glossary-of-cer... The opening at the top (Mündung) is a "mouth" |
