Book excerpt: Excerpt from Corpus of Prehistoric Pottery and Palettes IT is hardly needful, after the discussion of the dating in the previous volume on Prehistoric Egypt, to describe the present corpus, or the mode of using it. It contains all the forms published in the various works enumerated at the beginning of the volume named, unified as a whole and provided with se quence dates. The practical use of it is by the graveside. 80 soon as a grave is cleared and planned, then the pottery can be laid out in order, each type searched for in the corpus, and noted by its letter and number on the card register. The limits of date can be copied out, and the resulting limits of the date of the grave may then be added as the date on the card. Such pottery as is worth removal, and especially any new type that should be drawn, can then be separated, and the remainder of common pottery be returned to the grave and covered in.
