## Remarks

Inventory of vessels from the Villa Magazine (Scribe 12). Each vessel name is written beside a picture of the vessel, so the kind of object is known whatever the words mean. The original is a clay tablet, cracked, its upper left surface lost (5.8 × 8.5 × 0.9 cm); so the Haghia Triada accounts don't all look alike, this stand-in carries its text on a sherd of a storage jar with a rope-pattern band. Generated stand-in, not a scan: the shape follows the published description, the sign layout is approximate.
