Decoeation : 



Lip: On the 11 rims with lips, 8 are impressed with oblique tool impressions ; 

 1 has oblique tool impressions on the interior lip ; 1 has circular punctates ; 

 and 1 is plain. 

 Rim : On the 11 rims complete from neck to lip there are 2 to 7 horizontally 

 incised lines, with more than half of them (6) bearing 5 lines. Below 

 these Lines are finger-pinched indentations on 13 vessels, and punctates on 

 10 vessels (pi. 10, c-6) . One rim with two horizontally incised lines above 

 a line of punctates is incised with six lines below them ; and one atypical 

 rim (pi. 10, o) lacks either pinching or punctates. 

 Form: 



Up : Flat to somewhat rounded. 



Rim: Three forms occur. Rim forms U-V (fig. 13) are classed as collared, 

 and comprise six of the eight classifiable rims. One rim is of form M, 

 and another is of form X. 

 Neck: Constricted. 

 Body /size: Sherds are generally small, but one large rim indicates an 



orifice of about 200 mm. in diameter. 

 Appendages: None observed. 

 Comments : A number of characteristics of this pottery, including rim form and 

 decorative elements, are shared with the type Arzberger Horizontal Incised 

 (Spaulding, 1956, pp. 13&-141, pi. 8), although none of the Demery vessels 

 appear to have cord-roughened shoulders. 



9. Recurved Rims, Obliquely Incised and Pinohed/Punctated (pi. 13, h). 

 Sample : 12 vessels. 



SuBFAOE finish : Originally vertically simple-stamped, then horizontally 

 smoothed on rims and necks. Two rims bear nearly obliterated impressions 

 that suggest they were malleated with a cord-roughened paddle, then smoothed. 

 Decoration : 



Lip : Oblique tool impressions occur on five lips, and two are plain. The lip is 



absent on the remaining rims. 

 Rim : Oblique incised lines occur on 11 of the 12 rims ; on one rim a series of 

 3 oblique lines, forming a chevron, interrupt a series of 10 horizontally 

 incised lines. On the eight sherds retaining the lower rim, three have a 

 finger-pinched border and five are punctated. 

 Shoulder : One rim bears traces of an incised pattern. 

 Form : 



Lip : Flat to somewhat rounded. 



Rim: The gently recurved rims are of nearly constant thickness from the 



lip to the neck, except where the finger-pinchings thicken the cross 



section. Rim forms are U-V (fig. 13). Rim heights range from 25 to 



47 mm. ; thickness, from 4 to 8 mm. 



Comment: These rims are related to the flaring rims vrith obliquely incised 



lines (Group 3), although the latter rims lack the rim profile and the modified 



rim base occurring on this group. 



10. Recurved Rims, Pinched in Mid-Rim (pi. 13, »). 

 Sample : 3 vessels. 



SxJEFACE FINISH ! The rims are horizontally smoothed on the interior and exterior. 

 Decoration : 



Lip: Oblique tool impressions. 



Rim: A horizontal series of finger-pinched impressions occur on two rims at 

 the mid-rim; the remaining rim is obliquely tool-impressed (pi. 13, i).
