Quoted text:

“are characterized by the very poor quality of the material used and in the sloppiness of production” (Nissen[1] 1988b: p. 123). “The majority have roughly the same capacity, and the over-tempered clay does not hold any liquids longer than a few minutes.”

Can you help us verify the year in this citation? It might be 1987 rather than a second 1988 date in Chapter 3’s Bibliography per a web search, but we’re not sure.
