Reconstructed vessels catalog

This well-made globular jar has a rim that turns outward at nearly a right angle; the upper surface of the out-turned rim is decorated with a motif (PK324) consisting of alternating sets of three slanting incised lines. The remainder of the vessel is undecorated, but the surfaces are well smoothed and burnished.

This is the rim of a large, well-made and quite thin-walled jar, which may have been carinated although this cannot be determined with certainty. The out-turned lip is decorated with closely spaced parallel lines (motif M77-1-3). On the exterior the geometric motif (PK299) has been executed with very fine incising, careful attention having been paid to keep the line spacing very regular and uniform. The same motif appears on ECA-V-235, although this is clearly a separate vessel.

This is the base of a pedestal, unusual in that it has no decoration other than an apparent cutout extending through the pedestal wall.

This is the rim and neck of a small, well-fired, plainware jar with strongly everted rim and rounded lip. It was probably of vessel type IIA, a globular jar.

This is the rim and partial neck of a very large, well-fired globular jar. The flat lip is decorated with simple notching along both the inner and outer edges (motif PK414).

This pedestal base has the trace of a cutout extending through the vessel wall. Very little of the decoration can be defined, but the uppermost motif is GS82/GS92 in two horizontal rows, followed by zone marker RZ4D-4-1. Motif A497, a series of stamped semi-circles, runs around the base.

This rim comes from an unusually thin-walled, well-fired unrestricted bowl. The interior is undecorated, while the thin lip has a groove and is decorated with closely spaced parallel lines. On the exterior, the decoration begins with zone marker RZ4D-5R-1, followed by motif PK519. Next is a thick zone marker RZ4D-7R-1,and then motif PK199.

This unrestricted bowl has fairly simple geometric decoration that begins on the exterior with zone marker RZ4D-4F-3, followed by motif GS544 (probably stylized eye motifs), then zone marker RZ4D-3R-4, and then another row of GS544, and finally another zone marker RZ4D-3R-4.

This very finely decorated unrestricted bowl may originally have been attached to a pedestal base; the stepped lip suggests that it may also have had a matching lid. The thin lip edge is decorated with a row of stamped cirles (A417), while the vertical step has motif PK555, and flat step itself has both GZ1D and zone marker RZ4D-3-1. On the vessel exterior the decoration begins with motif A327, followed by zone marker RZ4D-5R-2, then motif A241, a second zone marker RZ4D-5R-2, and finally motif PK217. The execution of the fine dentate stamping is especially well done.

This well made, relatively thin-walled plain jar has red slip covering the exterior, and traces of slip on the interior. Anvil impressions on the interior indicate that a paddle-and-anvil technique was used to thin the vessel walls.
