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.
