A bottle is a vessel that has a neck that is narrower than the body, it is usually used for the storage or transport of liquids.  By using Anna Shepard's criteria a bottle is described as a closed form, where the height is greater than the diameter.  The angle of the sides from the base are between 30 and 60 degrees, it has a restricted neck, and usually has a round or oblong body.

This category matches Woolley's published ceramic typology no. 49a-53.  None of his metal or stone vessel typologies meet these criteria
