I. Group A — Continued 



E. Decoration. 



1. Teclinique — cord impression, single cord (rim and neck), twisted cord, 



knotted cord and dentate stamps (lip and shoulder). 



2. Motifs. 



a. Lip. 



(1) Unmarked (10 cases). 



(2) Cord-impressed. 



(a) Chordic or oblique to arc of rim (3 cases). 

 (&) Circumferential or annular (1 case). 

 &. Upper rim. 



(1) External surface. 



(a) Cord-impressed, vertical or slightly oblique to lip (8 



cases). 

 (&) Dentate stamp. 



(2) Internal surface. 



(a) Unmarked (1 example). 



(&) Cord-impressed, oblique to surface of lip (3 examples). 



(c) Cord-impressed lines circumferential below lip (3 ex- 

 amples). 



{d) Parallel cord-impressed lines perpendicular to lip 

 (1 example). 



(e) Parallel rows of knotted cord impressions (1 example). 



(/) Vertical dentate stamp (1 example). 



c. Lower rim. 



(1) External surface. 



(a) Parallel, encircling cord-impressions (28 examples). 

 (&) Parallel lines with panels of alternating oblique cord 

 impressions (3 examples). 



(2) Internal surface. 



(a) Unmarked (28 examples). 



(&) Parallel, encircling cord impressions (3 examples). 



(c) Dentate stamp (2 examples). 



id) Knotted cord impressions. 



d. Shoulder — linear or knotted cord stamp pendant to encircling 



rim design (6 examples). 



II. Group B (sample: 29 sherds, 5 rim sherds, portions of at least 3 vessels). 



Plate 28, i. 



A. Paste. 



1. Temper — sand, containing large, smoothly angular pebbles. 



Range of diameter : 0.5-3.0 mm. 



2. Texture. 



a. Surface — smooth and hard, variable. 

 6. Core — friable and laminated. 



3. Color. 



a. Exterior — firing clouds frequent, ranging from a dominant 



orange red to a reduced gray. 

 &. Interior — as above, 

 c. Core — uniformly gray. 



B. Surface treatment. 



1. Exterior — cord-marked. The intervening ridges are uniformly 



smoothed, partially obscuring the cord marks beneath. Direction 

 of marking is predominantly vertical. 



2. Interior — roughly smoothed, horizontal, encircling tool marks are 



apparent.
