Abstract

Among prehistoric potsherds of Mr. SAKAMOTO's collection in Higo Province, there are some very unusual examples of shape. Their reconstructions are truly beaker-shaped with band handles as the illustration shows. Such shaped pots have not yet been recorded in Japan, and from comparative studies the shape suggests resemblances with the black type of pottery in prehistoric China.
