| Comment | Pottery: handmade, coarse textured clay, always with organic temper. Inclusions generally came from syenitic sources. Two different fabrics were distinguished: syenitic terrains (alkali feldspar and altered micas) or materials derived from lavas. Plant inclusions existed in both. Fabric A (most common, ca. 80% of the pottery) has a grey, red or reddish-grey clay matrix. Fabric B had a reddish grey clay matrix. Tempering was very limited in both fabrics. The exact clay source is difficult to ascertain, but all the inclusions are consistent with the prevailing geology of the area. Four ware groups can be distinguished: 1) red slipped ware with pinkish-buff surfaces; the slip flakes and peels off easily; smoothed and burnished surfaces, moderate to good quality; 2) red slipped ware with brick-red paste; 11,76 % of the assemblage; made of Fabric A; more compact and carefully finished than the first group; thick dark red slip that bonded well because of the heavy burnish; 3) dark colored ware, 13,23 % of the assemblage; made from Fabric A; surface color grey, brownish grey, greyish black or black; the exterior is lightly burnished, the interior only smoothed; 4) buff, pinkish-buff or light brown colored; 17,65% of the assemblage; made from Fabric A; in- and outside evenly smoothed and unburnished or lightly burnished; straight-sided bowls (29,41 %), s-shaped deep bowls (27,94 %), flaring-sided bowls (4,41%), rounded bowls (1,47%) |
