RIM & BASE SCALE 
Ficure 88.—Rim and base profiles and reconstructed vessel shapes of Kalunye Plain, 
Taruma Phase (Appendix, table 31). 
TEMPORAL DIFFERENCE WITHIN THE TYPE: The number of rims per level is too 
small to be used for percentage analysis and the determination of changes 
in shape frequency through time. However, the absence of Vessel Form 4 
except in the upper third of the seriated sequence probably reflects an in- 
crease in popularity of this form rather than inadequacy of the sample. The 
single annular base (Form D) comes from an early level, suggesting that this 
form also has temporal significance (Appendix, table 31). 
CHRONOLOGICAL POSITION OF THE TYPE: Kalunye Plain is the major plain ware 
in the latter part of the Taruma Phase sequence, increasing from 3.3 percent 
at the earliest site to 75.1 percent at the latest (fig. 101).
