FORM: 
Lip: Flat, with occasional extrusion from decoration. 
Rim: Straight and vertical to flaring. Height ranges from 18 to 65 mm., 
and averages 35 mm.; thickness varies from 4 to 8 mm., and averages 
6 mm. 
Neck: Somewhat constricted ; rim joins shoulder in a definite yet smoothed 
curve. 
Shoulder: Many sherds have angular shoulders, but one of the partially 
restored vessels has a rounded shoulder. 
Body: One partially restored vessel has a globular body with a wide mouth, 
and the remaining sherdS appear to be from similar vessels. Body 
sherds vary from 3 to 8 mm. in thickness, and neck and shoulder sherds 
are generally 7 to 8 mm. in thickness. The two partially restored vessels 
yield these measurements: interior diameter of the orifice, 20.4 and 
24.0 em.; exterior diameter of the necks, 20.0 and 23.8 cm. 
Base-Bottom: Not determinable. 
Appendages: No handles or lugs present. 
Decorative treatment: Includes finger impression, punctation, indentation, 
and incision. 
Component types: 
Lisbon Tool Impressed. 
Lisbon Horizontally Incised. 
Lisbon Undecorated. 
Lisbon Tool Impressed 
(Pl. 35, a-c) 
(Type sample: 35 rim sherds, representing 29 vessels.) 
SURFACE FintsH: The specimens are vertically cord-marked with a coarse, 
fibrous cord, or are rarely check stamped. Observed markings or stamps 
extend from the lip to the shoulder. Four sherds exhibit cord markings 
with S twists; three have cord markings with Z twists. On some speci- 
mens the cord markings or stamps are somewhat smoothed over. 
DECORATIVE TREATMENT: Indentation, punctation, and finger impression on the 
lip. The following occurrences were noted: Diagonal indentations, six 
specimens; transverse indentations, one example; vertical punctations, 
six examples; diagonal impressions, seven specimens; finger impressions, 
five examples. The last-mentioned exhibit alternating indentations on 
the exterior and interior, made by pressing the moist clay with two offset 
fingers, one inside and the other outside the vessel. The resulting im- 
pression gives a “pie crust” effect. 
Lisbon Horizontally Incised 
(PI. 35, d@) 
(Type sample: 2 rim sherds, representing 2 vessels.) 
SURFACE Finisu: Lips and rims are smoothed, but irregularities in the surface 
suggest that smoothing was done over cord-marked surfaces. The upper 
part of the shoulder area of one sherd bears vertical cord marks. 
DECORATIVE TREATMENT: Indentation and incision. The lip of one sherd was 
diagonally indented with a dowel of large diameter, the other was diag- 
onally indented with a small dowel. Four to eight incised lines, 1 to 2 
mm. in width, encircle the exterior rim.
