II. Group B — Continued 



C. Form. 



1. Lip — roughly flattened, an irregular flange, external and internal, 



occurs on one specimen. Width of lip is variable as a result of 

 pressure distortion incident to the application of dentate and cord 

 neck stamping. 

 Maximum thickness : 11.0 mm. 



2. Rim and neck — straight, rising vertically from shoulder; no neck 



constriction is present. 

 Range of thickness : 9.5-11.0 mm. ; mean, 10.1 mm. 

 Range of height : 43.0-53.5 mm. ; mean, 48.3 mm, 



3. Shoulder — steeply sloping. 



Range of thickness : 6.0-8.0 mm. ; mean, 6.8 mm. 



4. Body — probably globular. 



Range of thickness : 5.0-11.5 mm. ; mean, 7.8 mm. 



5. Base — no data. 



D. Vessel shape — only a single shape is present, a medium-sized, wide- 



mouthed jar. 



Estimated mean height: 240.0 mm. 

 Estimated mean diameter : 200.0 mm. 



E. Decoration. 



1. Technique — bosses pushed from interior rim, dentate stamp on inte- 



rior rim, cord impressions. 



2. Motifs. 



a. Lip — unmarked. 



b. Rim. 



(1) External surface: Round bosses punched from Interior; 



bosses emerge as smooth protuberances from an irregu- 

 larly smoothed, cord-marked background. 



(2) Internal surface: Vertical dentate stamps pendent from 



lip In interstices between punched boss negatives ; a sin- 

 gle example is plain. 



c. Shoulder. Irregular, vertical cord impressions overlying the 



background coi'd markings. The upper termination of the over- 

 lay forms a distinct border just beneath the bosses and grades 

 below into the background decoration of the shoulder.
