Shape. The plates shall be in the shape of an equilateral triangle with truncated corners, for mounting with one apex upwards at the rear of slow-moving vehicles.
Shape. The aggregate shall be angular that is posessing well defined edges formed at intersection of roughly flat pieces free from an excessive percentage of flaky or needle-like pieces.
Shape. The jars have a closed shape in which the contents are not very easily accessible unless by pouring or drinking. A closed fist does not fit into the openings of very small and small jars, and retrieving the contents with the hands or with a scoop would have been impossible in smaller jars and awkward in all. The vessel shape is oval or more globular, with the maximum vessel diameter usually at the middle or at the lower half of the vessel. Larger jars are more slender, and the maximum vessel diameter is a bit higher up. The rims are simple and rounded and always a bit bent outwards, facilitating the pouring of liquids or the drinking from the rim. A cover could be tied over the rim and fastened with a rope, but no special ledge was provided for this. The jars are transportable. The ratios between vessel height and rim diameter, and between vessel height and maximum vessel diameter are: Very small Mean ratio (height/rim diameter) = 2.03 (between 1.56 and 2.60; CV = 16%). Mean ratio (height/vessel diameter) = 1.49 (between 1.12 and 1.49; CV = 10%). Small Mean ratio (height/rim diameter) = 2.14 (between 1.57 and 2.75; CV = 10%). Mean ratio (height/vessel diameter) = 1.43 (between 1.17 and 1.62; CV = 7%). Large Mean ratio (height/rim diameter) = 3.03 (between 2.0 and 3.91; CV = 17%). Very small jars mainly have ring bases (63.6%) or flat bases (18.2%). Small jars, on the contrary, have mainly pedestal bases (41.9%) or flat bases (44.2%), while only a few have ring bases (11.6%). Larger jars mainly have ring bases (86.7%) or flat bases (13.3%); pedestal bases do not occur in this group. Very small vessels and large vessels are rather stable and can stand without support. The small vessels are less stable, with their relatively small base diameters compared to the vessel height. This is especially true for jars from level 4 when they have predominantly narrow pedestal bases instead of flat bases (cf. Chapter IV). These jars are unstable without support and many of them cannot easily stand alone. However, ceramic pot stands for small jars are absent from the site (although they could have been made from a perishable material like wood; cf. also Chapter VI). Small jars can be divided into three size groups based on the vessel height and the maximum vessel diameter: Very small 311x: vessel height < 160 mm, maximum vessel diameter < 120 mm. Mean vessel height is 122 mm (between 100 and 150 mm; CV = 12%). Mean maximum vessel diameter is 98 mm (between 87 and 111 mm; ...
Shape. These bowls have an open shape in which the contents are easily accessible. The rim diameter is also the maximum vessel diameter. The mean ratio between vessel height and rim diameter is 0.37 (between 0.29 and 0.46). The bowls are markedly deeper than the larger carinated bowls type 111c. The bowls are easily transportable, but transport is only practical over very short distances. Type 113 bowls are very stable, due to their relatively broad ring bases. No size groups can be made. The rim diameters vary between 110 and 370 mm, with a mean rim diameter of 253 mm.
Shape. These bowls have an open shape, and the contents are easily accessible. The rim diameter is also the maximum vessel diameter. The mean ratio between vessel height and rim diameter is 0.34 (between 0.21 and 0.50). They are easily transportable, but transport is only practical over short distances. The bowls can stand without a support, and most are stable. Slanting shapes due to oblique cutting from the wheel occur only rarely. Two-thirds of these bowls have a ring base, providing for extra stability. The rims that are bent over outwards (types 131, 143) provide a good grip for lifting or tilting the bowl, especially when hands are slippery. Rims that are thickened on the inside (types 132, 143) provide a practical inner edge that prevents the contents from spilling (for example when moving the bowl). It also prevents the contents from being pushed out easily (for example when scooping up morsels of food with bread or a spoon). This group of deep bowls with straight walls cannot be divided into different size classes on the basis of their rim diameters or vessel heights. A tentative grouping in smaller and larger bowls was tried only for type 132 (Appendix B). Generally, type 132 bowls are smaller than type 143 bowls, while type 131 encompasses the whole range of diameters. Type 131 mean rim diameter = 300 mm, (between 140 and 560 mm; CV = 20.0%). Type 132a rim diameter < 250 mm, mean rim diameter is 206 mm. Type 132b rim diameter ≥ 250 mm, mean rim diameter is 308 mm. Type 143 mean rim diameter = 327 mm (between 150 and 450 mm; CV = 20.4%). Whole group: mean rim diameter 295 mm (between 100 and 560; CV = 22.2%).
Shape. The flasks generally have a globular, very closed shape, which is not completely symmetrical (flattened). This is related to the shaping techniques (see Chapter V). A narrow spout and one handle are attached to the body. Contents are only accessible by pouring them out, and the flasks are not very easy to fill either. The rims are bent slightly outwards and are a bit thickened. The opening can be closed with a stopper or with a flexible cover tied over the mouth. The handle can be used as an aid in lifting the vessel, but is possibly not always strong enough to carry the vessel when it is full. Perhaps the handles were also used to tie the vessels during transport. There are two kinds of flasks: miniature flasks and normal-sized flasks. The miniature bottles, of which not many have been preserved, have a rim diameter around 20-26 mm and a vessel height of about 100-135 mm. The normal-sized flasks have a mean rim diameter of 61 mm (between 43 and 85 mm; CV = 24%). The mean vessel height (including the spout) is 359 mm (between 340 and 385 mm; CV = 5.3%).

Shape. These jars have a closed shape with rather restricted rim diameters, making the contents inaccessible with the hands. The attachment of a handle from the rim to the shoulder of the vessel indicates that pouring was the way to remove the contents. Rims are mostly simple and always bent outwards, facilitating pouring. A jar from a mixed context (fig IV.109.w) has a trefoil mouth that greatly facilitates pouring (trefoil mouths are otherwise not attested at the site). A flexible cover could easily be tied to the rim with a rope. Not much can be said about the vessel shape, since only two vessels were preserved completely. They have an oval vessel shape, one with a ring base (fig. IV.89.d) and one with a pointed “amphora”-type base (fig. IV.89.c) that is unusual at Sabi Abyad. Indeed, the use of handles is rare at the site, and is another indication for the foreign origin or different production tradition from which these vessels came. The vessels are easily transportable and the relatively small rim diameters make them suited for transport over longer distances as well.
Shape. The bowls have a deep open shape in which the contents are easily accessible. A spout, either cylindrical or pinched from the rim, provides a convenient way to pour the contents from the vessel in a controlled way. The spout would also allow the user to decant only the top of the liquid (including floating material or leaving heavier particles behind). The spouts are sometimes located at the rim, and sometimes a bit lower in the wall of the vessel. Because of that, the bowls could not have been filled to the rim with a liquid. At least one, and sometimes two, handles are placed on the upper vessel wall. If one handle is present, it is placed opposite the spout. When two handles are attached, they are not aligned with the spout. One handle is closer to the spout while the other is further away. This is probably related to a more comfortable body position when holding the vessel at the two handles and pouring the contents. The mean ratio between vessel height and rim diameter is 0.5 (between 0.48 and 0.55; CV = 5%). The mean rim diameter of these bowls is 345 mm (between 300 and 385 mm; CV = 9%).
Shape. The “grain measures” are easily recognizable and have a long cylindrical, open shape so that the contents are easily accessible. Their shape seems to stand somewhat apart from the rest of the corpus, and they represent the continuation of a long tradition starting in the Old Babylonian period. The rims are mostly thickened or squarish on the outside, providing some grip. The walls are relatively thin. The bases are wide compared to the maximum vessel width, so that these vessels are stable and stand easily without support. Not many vessels were completely preserved, so that the ratio between vessel height and rim diameter could only be calculated for four vessels. The mean ratio is 1.5 (between 1.32 and 1.67; CV = 12%). Two size groups were tentatively distinguished on the basis of the rim diameters. However, the rim diameters vary rather widely. 225a: rim diameter < 250 mm, mean rim diam. = 140 mm (between 80 and 220 mm, CV = 25.2%). 225b: rim diameter ≥ 250 mm, mean rim diam. = 287 mm (between 250 and 320 mm, CV = 11.5%).
