Ceramic recovered from Agger 9 Ext. was generally fragmentary and very worn. The most common fabric was impasto, followed by coarseware. Fineware and bucchero was scarce in this area and often separated as special finds. Buccheroid fragments tended to be small and worn, and thus difficult to distinguish. For this reason they are categorized together with impasto in this summary. The greatest amount of ceramic evidence was recovered from the stratum containing concentrations of carbon and possibly associated with the orientalizing destruction phase of the site. A significant number of these pieces show evidence
of burn. During excavation of the strata on either side on the structure wall, a greater amount of ceramic evidence was recovered from the area outside (to the west), than from the area corresponding to the potential inside of the structure (to the east). This may largely be due to the smaller portion (less than 1 meter) of the thin inner area excavated in Agger 9 Ext.
