are similar to the former shape in all features except in the proportion 

 of collar diameter to body diameter. This shape was found with both 

 Early and Late Period Code polychromes at He-1 (see pi. 11, a). 



PITO VARIETY 



This variety, represented by four vessels at He-1 (Finds 13, 22, 

 24-25, and 24-26) consists of globular vessels with relatively high and 

 constricted collars and four vertical loop handles placed equidistantly 

 around the collar on the shoulder (pi. 11, b). Bases are rounded. 

 Decoration consists of a red (or purple) band around the lip, and red 

 or purple bands arranged vertically in open chevron design or a ladder 

 pattern on the body and shoulders. The paint was applied in definite 

 bands, not drips or daubs. Ground color varies from a creamy buff 

 to orange red slip. The vessels are small to medium in size (diam- 

 eters 12-17 cms.). This variety also had Early Period Code poly- 

 chrome associations at the site. 



RED LINE PATTERNED AND MODELED SHAPES 



This category was set up as "catch-all" for residual vessels decorated 

 in simple red or purple patterns on a buff or light red slip. Two of 

 these vessels (Finds 12-a and 23-c^) are jars which have modeled effigy 

 face collars, red-banded rims, and red applied on the faces as well as 

 on the bodies. Find 24-27 is a collared jar with a scroll motif in red 

 encircling the upper body. Finds 12-6 and 23-c are also collared jars 

 with plain bases decorated in one case with three parallel vertical lines 

 in red, in the other with a red band around the shoulder with four deep 

 scallops in effect, or four graduated points extending well downward 

 toward the base. Find 24-6 is a small jar with a rounded base and a 

 reverse flared collar. The lip is red banded and a red band encircles 

 the vessel body at its midpoint with four long curved teeth or fanglike 

 projections of red paint extending upward toward the collar. Another 

 jar. Find 40, round-based and with a short outflared collar, was 

 decorated with a crudely drawn horizontal red band encircling the 

 vessel just above the shoulder. Find 48-a was a miniature trilobed 

 collared jar with a rounded base decorated by thin smearings of a 

 purple-red paint about the lobes and, in some cases, running down to 

 the base. No clear pattern is evident. Finds 44-6 and 48-c are both 

 round-based and round-lipped plates with red band decoration on the 

 upper surface arranged in radiating lines. These lines extend from a 

 red hub, in the former case, and in parallel red bands across the entire 

 plate exterior in the latter case. Except for Find 44 and 47 unit, all 

 associations of this amorphous group were Early Period vessels at 

 He-1.
