This is the everted rim of a large jar with restricted orifice, broken at the junction with the neck. The rim is undecorated.

This rim from a well-fired, large unrestricted bowl has a well burnished interior surface, and zone marker RZ4D-3R-2 running along the inside of the lip. The lip itself has a row of stamped circles (motif A417) along the inner edge, and motif PK438, consisting of triangular cutouts with intervening stamped triangles. The exterior decoration begins with motif A25, followed by zone marker RZ4D-4R-2. Below this are two main motifs, PK439 above, and PK440 (a variant of the labyrinth design) below.

This is the base of a fairly thick, low-fired pedestal or ringfoot. The decoration consisted of angular cutouts extending right through the pedestal wall, surrounded by stamped lozenges (motif PK486). Above the rim there are two parallel rows of stamped circles (motif A417). The decoration is quite coarsely executed, and the thick-walled and low fired vessel does not exhibit a high degree of ceramic skill.

This large jar has a strongly everted rim, turning out horizontally leaving a wide lip. On the interior of the rim there is zone marker RZ4D-4R-2 and below this motif A327. The lip itself is not decorated. On the exterior, the decoration begins with A327 again, below which is zone marker RZ4D-3-2, and then just a small fragment of a stamped motif (TFG1369).

The sherds making up this rim of an unrestricted bowl are all heavily eroded on the exterior. The interior surface, which is less eroded, shows some traces of red slip. The lip has triangular cutouts, and probably also had dentate stamping originally, but this has been obliterated by the erosion of the surface. Likewise, the exterior was almost certainly originally decorated with dentate stamping, but the heavy erosion makes it impossible to discern any motifs accurately.

This large, rather low-fired rim most likely comes from a flat bottom dish based on the rim profile. The interior has a row of stamped circles (motif A417) above with motif A1, stamped semicircles below a stamped line, below. The lip with decorated with motif PK243 involving triangular cutouts interspersed with stamped triangular lines. On the exterior, the decoration begins with motif A1, followed by zone marker RZ4D-3R-2. The main motif is PK524, a variant of the “flaring nose” design. The rather crudely executed stamping, along with the low firing of the vessel suggests it was made by someone without a high degree of technical skill.

This thick walled unrestricted bowl is very low fired and consequently has suffered some deterioration since excavation. The interior lip has a row of stamped circles (motif A417). On the exterior the decoration begins with zone marker RZ4D-4-2, followed by zone marker RZ2RD-5-1, and then zone marker RZ4D-3R-2. Below these three zone markers, the main motif is PK471, a variant of the “tongue” design group.

This is the everted rim of a relatively small jar. The interior and the lip are plain, and the decoration on the exterior of the rim consists of a zone marker with a simple motif of PK228 below it.

This is the rim and neck of a large jar (possibly carinated although this cannot be determined with certainty). The rim is strongly everted horizontally, and the nearly flat surface decorated with sets of three sloping incised lines (motif PK324). The thin-walled, well-fired vessel exhibits considerable technical skill in manufacture.

This thin-walled, well-fired rim of a large jar with everted rim shows signs of wiping with a coarse material on the exterior. The lip is decorated with a series of simple notches made by pressing a tool or stick into the clay. On the exterior, the incised design is incomplete (TFG1514), consisting primarily of curvilinear, parallel lines.
