Strategy (projected or implemented) 1999-06-30 mkb It was decided to wash all future lots and check for whole vessels before the individual sherd analysis [Input: A10-12.j]
Argument 1999-06-30 mkb POTTERY (J630) a number of unexpected whole vessels may have been stratified in this feature including a number of carinated bowls and carinated small jars. These vessels cannot be reconstructed because the discovery was made after the body sherds had been counted and discarded. [Input: A10-12.j]
1999-06-30 mkb POTTERY (J630) question of why do f222 and f227 (f226 has not been processed so far) look more like AK levels and f194 later? Possible answers: this is a pit, a stratified pit (i.e. used over a long period of time, but I consider this unlikely given the number and date of the whole vessels in it), or that the strata changed without any noticible stratigraphic indications (most likely explanation).

Roster Date Author Record
Components (within element) 1999-06-30 mkb POTTERY (J630) Even though not completely excavated as yet, some conclusions can be drawn as to the ceramic contents of the feature. A minimum estimate of the whole vessels includes 6 high necked jars, -- 2 medium necked jars, 2 straight sided bowls or pots, 1 carinated pot with turned out rim, 12 small carinated bowls including two whole examples, 1 medium high necked jar with black painted neck and rim, little S ware.--Decoration: 1 straight rim jar with incised undulating lines with straight lines below (A10q467-p1), 1 straight sided bowl or pot with flat ridged rim, on the shoulder with incised undulating lines with punched alternating diagonals (imitation rope?) beneath (A10q480-p8,13,19-all from the same vessel) [Input: A10-12.j]
