4. TYPOLOGY

Morphology

Roster Date Author Record
Components (within element) 1999-07-18 MKB POTTERY (J718) Out of about 50 sherds only one is clearly later, a coil base (A10q486-p8). One base did have heavy traces of bitumen inside (A10q486-p10); its shape and ware cannot be dated except to note the fact that bitumen use in the Simple ware Tradition is not common. The remaining sherds in the feature are either not chronologically specific or dated to the later part of the Simple Ware Tradition. These include bowls with a square rim, one of which has an exterior tab handle similar to the deep bowls from Temple BA but in this case made from a much rougher ware. String cut bases have a sharp angle between the body wall and the base. -- One possible ETC bowl rim. -- One WS jar sherd with a folded over rim looks like a late type but since it is made in WS ware it most probably is early (A10q484-p6).
