Amongthe many forms of decoration used on bonewhorls, the fine concentric rilling on thePfakofen examples is relatively simple and isalso found on the whorl from Grave 7 atGnotzheim.12 The small biconical ceramicwhorl, io a brownish reduced fabric (Fig 3,11), is a common tyPe which cannot beclosely dated.13 It should be noted, however,that its perforation is so narrow that it couldonly be fitted onto the very tip of thespindle.Grave 74 and Grave 87 are also linked bythe deposition of pottery vessels, which isotherwise rare in Pfakofen and elsewhere inthe regionla, and in particular by therr U.

It belongs to theunusual group of ceramic _spouted vesselsfirst classified by E Grohne15. An example ofthe form, with three spouts, from the <strong>Roman</strong>period site at Btirs, AltmarklT, is fairly closeto the Pfakofen piece, with sloping sides anda central opening around which the spoutswere similarly arranged; the two vesselsmay have shared the same function, WhileGrohne suggested that modern spoutedforms might be used as flower vases, hefound no satisfactory explanation for those ofprehistoric or early historic date. Howev€r,he stressed the important point that theform was unsuitable for use as an oil-lamp,and therefore by association so are allspouted ceramic vessels.ls Despite Grohne'swork, the interpretation of similar forms aslamps has obstinately persisted in the15 Perhaps also U.
