Description	Bucchero handle fragment A has two preserved finished faces and one preserved finished edge. The interior finished face is smooth and concave. The exterior finished face is convex and preserves several incisions in two clear incised elements and a partially preserved third. One clear incised element consists of three incisions parallel to the finished edge, creating four ridges. From the finished edge, the measurements are as follows: Ridge 1: max. pres. height 0.0201 m, max. pres. width 0.00239 m Distance between this ridge and following ridge: 0.00143 m Ridge 2: max. pres. height 0.02087 m, max. pres. width 0.0011 m Distance between this ridge and following ridge: 0.00182 m Ridge 3: max. pres. height 0.02093 m, max. pres. width 0.00145 m Distance between this ridge and following ridge: 0.00125 m Ridge 4: max. pres. height 0.02197 m, max. pres. width 0.0017 m The second clear incised element consist of an s shaped scroll. The s shaped scroll runs the max. pres. height of the fragment, has a max. pres. width of 0.00697 m and min pres. width of 0.00131 m. The partially preserved incised element has a max. pres. height of 0.00966 m and max. pres. width of 0.00385 m. There is not enough preserved to identify the shape or motif. Fragment B and C have two preserved finished faces each - one smooth slightly convex exterior face, and one smooth slightly concave interior face. Fragment D has two preserved finished faces - one convex exterior face, and one smooth concave interior face. The exterior face preserves three incisions, forming two preserved ridges and the edge of a third. Fragment E has two preserved finished faces. One face appears to have parallel incision marks. These associated fragments are likely from the handle of a kyathos vessel.
