I offered a reconstructed Asian bowl with a chipped and ground notch  
recovered from a Chinese trash pit at a fishing camp adjacent to the Ballast  Point 
whaling station (CA-SDI-12,953). I believe the Chinese cook for the  whalers 
moonlighted in Western medicine by adapting the traditional shallow bowl  for 
bloodletting. The resultant shape with the notch closely resembles  bloodletting 
bowls made for the practice.
