It does not .seem likely iJuit it all came from tli(i same kilns, or 

 that it was made in the immediate neighhomhood, f<jr soiiKi of it 

 is mixed with pounded Hint, some of it is vei-y full of sand, while 

 much of it is mixed with broken fossil shells from the oolitic ])eds. 



It is difficult to determine the exact shape of many of the vessels 

 from the broken fragments, but it is clear that the greater number 

 of them were characterised by a decided shoulder ( Platte III., 2, 3; 

 Plate IV., 1). Most of the shouldered vessels seem to have had 

 a row of oi'iiamental indentations round the slioulder, and many 

 had a similar row round the rim as well (Plate III., 2), so that 

 comparatively few vessels were quite devoid of ornament. The 

 indentations vary in shape from that of the print of a finger tip to 

 that of a slight thumb-nail impression, but they do not appear to 

 have been actually made with the fingers, but by tools doubtless 

 designed for the purpose. Some of the vessels were provided with 

 eyelet handles, and several of these were found, all of the same 

 type as that shown below.
