| Comment | All pottery here is hand-made. Vases were made with middle to small sized grit, used as tempering, in grey, brown or buff. Some had mica inclusions, weren't fired well, were hand-smoothed, had a slip in red, brown or grey. They were burnished to avoid flaking of the slip. Most were monochrome, some had reliefs or were incised (spirals, semi.meander, triangle, rhomboid; enriched by dots; incisions and dots were often encrusted with white material). They rarely had handles. Some vases were made of finer paste, were better levigated and had mica inclusions as well as sand. They were slip-coated (black to grey, red to reddish brown) with a glossy burnish, and the firing was better. These vases were medium or small-sized and had thin walls. Some other vases, mostly found in Level V-l were made of dull grey or buff brown paste (not well levigated, not well baked, black or grey cores, inclusions: grit, lime); they had red and blackish mottling on the exterior. A few small vases were painted on the slip surface (in brown, red, yellowish-white or cream) with broad bands or line drawings (crosshatching, arcs, spirals). |
