q 16-p1
ds Flat base, no carbon core, lower vessel wall thick in proportion to the thin walled flat base, red slip on interior and exterior, portion of the base and lower part of the vessel wall secondarily fired.
A99 f13

q 16-p2
ds Ring base, medium gray carbon core, thick, discrete areas with bitumen both on the interior and the exterior but not in the section.
A99 f13

q 16-p3
ds Carinated bowl with rounded carination, string cut base shows traces of a fine core (or sharp tool), wide medium gray carbon core but highly fired despite the carbon core, pinkish-brown slip on interior and exterior, sub-round chaff.
A99 f13

q 16-p4
ds Bowl with high carination, much chaff temper on the surface, "exploded" calcite near the surface, low fire but no carbon core because of the thinness of the vessel wall, brown-yellow slip on the interior and exterior.
nt Note the technical term for "exploded" calcite is rehydration and expansion of CaO.
A99 f13

q 16-p5
ds Thin walled bowl with narrow folded rim, large "exploded" calcite on the surface, some sand temper, smoothed surface.
nt Note the technical term for "exploded" calcite is rehydration and expansion of CaO.
A99 f13

q 16-p6
ds Bowl with flat rim rounded on the exterior, light gray carbon core, slipped on interior and exterior, fine sand and medium to small calcite, clay heavy because of the sand but the bowl could have been carried even when full.
A99 f13

q 16-p7
ds Deep bowl with flat rim rectangular on the exterior, thick gray-brown slip on exterior and interior, medium fired, heavy clay from sand inclusions, with diameter at 60cm this vessel would not have been easily moved even when empty.
A99 f13

q 16-p8
ds Bowl with round sides, red-brown slip, firing cloud, large amount of "exploded" calcite on the surface, low fire.
nt Note the technical term for "exploded" calcite is rehydration and expansion of CaO.
A99 f13

q 16-p9
ds Deep bowl or beaker, yellow-buff slip, low fire, sand and a small amount of chaff.
A99 f13

q 16-p10
ds Flat base of bowl or jar with a deep indentation between the lowest portion of the body and the flat base. Clay heavy because of the large amount of sand temper, small amount of sub-round chaff. Because of the heaviness of the clay the complete vessel would have been difficult to carry if full.
A99 f13

q 16-p11
ds Small jar, low fire, carbon core only in the center, greenish-yellow slip on the interior and exterior, small and medium calcite.
