Beakers

A Beaker is a vessel that is straight sided and fits into one's hands usually to hold liquid for drinking. By using Anna Shepard's criteria a beaker is an open form where the height is greater than the diameter. The angle of the sides from the base are between 80 and 90 degrees. It may have a footed base.

This category matches Woolley's published ceramic typology Nos. 7; 14-17. It matches the metal vessel typology Nos. 37-39; 42-44. It does not match any from his stone vessel typology.
