ABSTRACT
Cinerary Urns are generally larger than the sepulchral vases hitherto considered. But in Scotland they never attain such a great size as some English specimens and hardly ever exceed 21 inches in height; some stand only 10 inches high. As com pared with Food Vessels, Cinerary Urns are taller and narrower. But there are many points of agreement between the two classes of sepulchral pottery. The walls of the urns are coarse and thick, the body has been built up of successive superimposed rings, the lip is thick and generally bevelled on the inside.
