Reconstructed vessels catalog

This small bowl (which may originally have been supported by a pedestal) carries motif PK288, slanted dentate lines, along the lip. On the exterior, the simple geometric decoration begins with zone marker RZ4D-5R-1, followed by GS216, a row of stamped lozenges, then another zone marker (RZ4D-4R-2), and finally motif GS458, downward pointed stamped triangles.

This small fragment of a flat bottom dish has a fragment of the main motif (TFG1344) involving a raised nubbin surrounded by zone marking. Motif TFG1802, cutouts with intervening stamping, runs along the base.

This is the rim and neck of a large jar, with strongly everted rim, that most likely was carinated, although the presence of a carination cannot be confirmed definitively. The inner part of the strongly everted rim is roughly decorated with simple incised lines (recorded as motif TFG1872). On the exterior, there is a gap of about 2.8 cm below the lip, and then the incised decoration begins with a horizontal line, below which are several very roughly executed concentric circles; the design is only fragmentary (motif TFG1628). The thin-walled, well-fired vessel displays technical sophistication in manufacture, but little effort to decorate the exterior with any skill or precision.

This is the carinated portion only of a well-fired, large carinated jar with vertical neck. The decoration, which is confined to the area above the carination, has been rather crudely executed by incising. There is only a fragment of an upper motif (TFG1630), bounded below by a horizontal line. After a gap of 0.45 cm, there is a second, parallel horizontal line that bounds the top of motif PK394, alternating triangular spaces defined by slanting lines. The lower motif ends at the carination.

This is the thick base of a pedestal, or ring foot. There is just a fragment of a motif (TFG998) involving a carved out curvilinear groove. Below this is zone marker RZ4D-3-1. Motif RK88, simple slanting dentate stamped lines, runs around the base.

This is the rim portion of a thin-walled, well-fired unrestricted bowl. The interior is not decorated, while the thin lip has motif A417 (stamped circles) along the inner edge, and motif GS135, alternating triangular cutouts with intervening stamped lines, along the outer edge. On the exterior, the decoration begins with motif A1, followed by zone marker RZ4CD-2R-2. The main motif is PK9, a simple variant of the zigzag design.

This is the everted rim of what apparently was a large, plainware globular jar. Although it is completely undecorated, the vessel exhibits considerable technical skill in the regularity of the vessel wall, burnished surfaces, and high firing.

This large diameter, very well fired bowl might originally have been supported on a pedestal, although this cannot be determined for certain. The interior is well burnished but undecorated. The lip has a groove down the middle, with dentate lines stamped across this at close intervals (motif SC1418). The exterior decoration begins with motif A1, followed by zone marker RZ4D-8R-2. The main motif is PK161, a variant of the zigzag design with diamonds containing stamped circles along the base of the motif.

This is the carinated portion of a large, very well fired, thin-walled jar exhibiting considerable technical skill in its manufacture. The incised decoration, which is confined to the area above the carination, has been very carefully executed. There is a fragment of an upper motif (TFG2494) involving semicircles. Below a horizontal line the motif (PK489) running just above the carination consists of square spaces with an “X”.

This large, thin-walled and well-fired carinated jar exhibits considerable technical skill in its manufacture as well as attention to precision and symmetry in the execution of the incised designs. The upper part of the rim is missing but a substantial portion of the design (confined to the rim above the carination) remains. The uppermost motif (TFG1556) is fragmentary, with curvilinear elements. Below this is motif PK355, a simple design of cross-hashed slanting lines bounded top and bottom by horizontal lines. Below this and extending down to the carination is motif PK297, a series of alternating triangular spaces filled in with slanting lines. Finally, the edge of the carination has very small notches (motif M77-1-3), possibly made by fingernail impressing.
