NJ42SE 13 c. 47 24.
A Neolithic round-bottomed bowl in Marischal College Museum is said to have been found in a short cist at Den of Craig (Simpson 1943), Auchindoir, c. 1850. It was presented to the Museum a few years before 1929 and the description of the cist is unsatisfactory.
J G Callander 1929; 1935; W D Simpson 1943.
Still at Marischal College Museum, otherwise, no further information.
Visited by OS (RL) 27 September 1967.
The precise location of this possible cist is not recorded, but the small, round-based vessel from within it is in Marischal College Museum (Acc. No. 19753). The vessel is a nearly complete hemispherical bowl 95mm high and 127mm in maximum diameter. It is of a thick, hard, dark ware. The internally bevelled rim is decorated with a row of fine round impressions, and below the rim on the exterior there is a zone decorated with stab-and-drag in panels of horizontal, vertical and slanting lines, below which are a few haphazard, slanting, incised lines.
