or diagonal lines. Painting may occur on the exterior of jars, interior of

 Body wail thickness: 0.3-1.3 cm.; majority 3-5 mm. 



Base: Probably typically flattened ; two pedestal bases, diameters 20 and 30 cm. 

 Reconstructed common vessel shapes: 

 Form 2 — 52.3 percent 

 Form 5 — 13.1 percent 

 Form 10 — 13.1 percent. 

 Minor vessel shapes (frequency less than 5 percent): Forms 9, 8, 12, and 13.
