Context:
High-shouldered biconical carinated vessels: The vessel wall is in two planes meeting at a sharp angle forming a carinated shoulder at a point anywhere from mid-point to the upper quarter of the body. The basic carinated shape was introduced in Hallstatt C and continued into La Tène II.
Miscellaneous versions: Among the many other variants in the Morel Collection there is so little standardization that these have been grouped together without further subdivision.
