This is the rim of a thin-walled, well-fired unrestricted bowl. The interior is not decorated, while the lip has motif PK372, triangular cutouts alternating with stamped triangles. On the exterior, the decoration begins with motif M2-1-1, stamped hanging semi-circles, followed by zone marker RZ4D-3R-2. The main motif is PK450, a variant of the labyrinth design.

This is the rim of a thin-walled, well fired jar lacking decoration other than simple notching of the lip (motif PK414); the notches are present along both inner and outer edges of the lip, and were probably made either by fingernail pinching or with the use of a small stick.

This is the rim of a large, thin-walled jar with everted rim. The lip has been decorated by notching along both edges with a V-shaped tool. The manufacture of the vessel exhibits considerable technical skill in the thin walls and high temperature firing.

This is the rim and neck of a large, very well fired, thin-walled globular jar. The lip is decorated by simple notching along both the inner and outer edges (motif PK414); otherwise the vessel is plain.

This fairly thick-walled, everted rim from a flat bottom dish has been rather heavily eroded, somewhat obscuring the decoration. The lip has traces of triangular cutouts, and may also have had some stamping but this cannot be discerned due to erosion of the sherd surface. On the exterior, the decoration begins with motif M2-1-1, below which is zone marker RZ4D-3R-2. The main motif is difficult to make out clearly due to the erosion of the surface, but involves large square spaces with X’s across them, in a fairly open pattern (coded as motif TFG3458).

This is the lip and rim only of a relatively small, well-made and thin-walled flat bottom dish. The lip is unusual in having a raised, appliqué nubbin. The lip, including the nubbin, is decorated with motif PK256, consisting of dentate stamped lines and small stamped circles. On the exterior, the decoration begins with motif A1. Below this there were evidently at least two main motifs, defined above by zone marker RZ4D-2R-2 and separated by vertical zone marker RZ4D-2RV-2. To the left is a fragment of motif PK257, while to the right is only a small remnant of a curvilinear motif, TFG1427.

This somewhat eroded sherd is the rim (lacking the lip) of a flat bottom dish. The upper part of the decoration under the lip is missing, while the main motif is PK10, a variant of the zigzag design. Zone marker RZ4D-3-2 runs horizontally above the base, and there is a hint of a cutout just above the base, although this is very eroded.

This is a relatively thin-walled, well-fired unrestricted bowl, undecorated on both the interior and the lip. On the exterior the decoration begins with a row of stamped circles, motif A417, followed immediately by motif M7, a double undulating stamped line. The main motif is GS148, a row of stamped square “boxes” each containing a stamped circle; this bounded top and bottom by zone markers RZ4D-4R-2.

This is the rim and neck of a large, well-fired and relatively thin-walled plainware globular jar. The interior shows a trace of an anvil impression, indicating use of the paddle-and-anvil technique for thinning the vessel wall. The exterior shows signs of wiping with a coarse material, possibly barkcloth.

This large, globular plainware jar has a more strongly everted rim than is typical for these vessels.
