Rim: Opposed oblique incised lines form a continuous band around the rim 

 of 11 specimens (fig. 15, c) ; vertical lines occur on 2 rims together with 

 oblique lines; and 1 rim is lightly incised with chevrons (pi. 13, 6). 



Shoulder: One of the two incised shoulders is decorated (fig. 15, c) over a 

 cord-roughened surface. The other and fragmentary decoration was im- 

 posed over a surface of indeterminate nature. 

 Fobm: 



Lip: Flat to somewhat rounded. 



Rim: Straight to somewhat outflaring, including rim forms B and F (fig. 

 13). Height ranges from 14 to 52 mm., averaging about 30 mm., and 

 thickness from 4 to 8 mm., averaging about 6 mm. 



Shoulder: The shoulder is fiat and steeply sloping, with an angular break 

 at the lower border on the cord-roughened vessel. 



Size: Several measurements of the cord-roughened vessel include : 



Height ca. 130 mm. 



Diameter at shoulder ca. 150 



Orifice diameter ca. 100 



Lip/rim thickness 7 



Rim height 21 



Body wall thickness 3 



Appendages: One rim has a pierced lug extending out at a right angle 17 

 mm. from the rim, with a vertical perforation 9 mm. in diameter. It is 

 on a lip decorated with punctates, although the top of the lug is decorated 

 with transverse tool impressions. 

 Comments: These rims are related to the recurved rims from Demery (Group 

 9) bearing obliquely incised lines, although they lack the pinched border 

 below the incised rim design on the latter specimens. This group of rims 

 clearly resembles some of those of the type lona Diagonal-Incised from the 

 Spain site (Smith and Grange, 1958, p. 100, pi. 30, e-g), but the Demery 

 specimens lack the rim protrusion typical of lona Ware. 

 4. Flaking Rims, Beveled oe Braced (pi. 13, c-f, and pi. 14, &). 

 Sample : 105 vessels, one of which is restored. 



SuBFACE FINISH : The interior and exterior rims are horizontally smoothed. 

 This is the case with the restored vessel (pi. 14, 6), where the entire surface 

 of the vessel is smoothed, nearly obliterating the simple-stamping, which 

 extends from the neck to the base. The stamps occur in a somewhat spiral 

 fashion around the vessel body. 

 Decoration : 



Lip: On four vessels the lip interior is indented by oblique or transverse tool 



impressions. 

 Rim: Oblique to transverse tool impressions occur on the uppermost part 

 of the exterior rim; some rims are decorated with oval or circular 

 punctates. 

 Form: 



Lip: Usually pointed, although some are rounded. 



Rim: The straight to outfiaring rims are beveled at the lip, the lower edge 

 of the bevel sometimes being extruded by decorative impressions. Rim 

 form J is typical, but on three rims, paste extruded by the pressure ap- 

 plied during the decoration is pushed down, resulting in rim form K (fig. 

 13).
