A bowl with flaring sides, a direct rim, and round lip. The basal diameter is 16 cm. The vessel was extremely eroded, so the red (2.5YR 5/8) color of the paste predominates. A very pale brown (10YR 7/3) color also occurs. The vessel was subject to carbonate accumulations. The thickness of the walls varies from 0.7 to 0.9 cm within which there is a 0.5 cm wide core of grayish brown (2.5Y 5/2). The bowl was the upright bottom vessel within the upper set of two lip-to-lip cache deposits.

This cylinder with outcurved sides and an exteriorly thickened rim and rounded lip is extremely eroded, and reveals a light reddish brown (2.5YR 6/4) paste under the surface. The overall slip color is dark red (2.5YR 4/8), but some fire clouding occurs and can range between a light olive brown (2.5Y 5/4), brownish yellow (10YR 6/6), and yellowish brown (10YR 5/6). The diameter of the base is 10 cm. Two pieces of chert were found inside the vessel.

A slightly outcurved vessel with an everted rim and 14 chevrons inscribed around the body below the rim. A lower register contains design elements in the shape of an inverted "U" that measure 9 cm in height and have widths of 3-4 cm. Fire clouding has blackened the rim and marred the finish of the red slip. The basal diameter is 13 cm.
