1. (Louise Cort, 14 January 2007) Don Hein associated glazed bottles ("barrel jarlets") in a generally Ming Chinese style with the wares made at Si Satchanalai that he terms LASW (Late Stoneware) (Hein 2001, fig. 43l). Although Hein is cautious about dating, he suggests that LASW dates to 15th–16th century (Hein 1999, 150).
Changed Date from Late 16th–18th century to 15th–16th century.

2. (Louise Cort, 10 February 2007) In an email message today Don Hein wrote, "The small eared jar looks like an early Sawankhalok piece. They are often roughly potted, either unglazed or with a degraded brownish-black glaze, the base is usually plain (no well) and either showing a sand texture surface or cordcut marks. I cannot recall seeing any of the type at Singburi and having just checked Chārưk Wilaikǣo's 1990 report (Tao Mǣnam Nǭi 2) none are listed (we worked together at Si Satchanalai and I visited him at Singburi several times while the excavation was in progress). The jar type continued to be made at Si Satchanalai but better potted and usually green or brown glazed."
In a previous message he identified the production phases as MON—the initial phase of operation at Si Satchanalai, when potters used inground kilns.
Changed Period from Ayutthaya period to Sukhothai or Ayutthaya period. Changed Date from 15th–16th century to 13th–14th century.

3. (Louise Cort, 29 May 2008) Don Hein, in Washington to present the Pope Memorial Lecture, confirmed that an early date is OK for this bottle.
