Pottery Summary
During the comletion of the excavation of Rec 12 initiated by M. Fullerton in 1976 a considerable amount of coarse and bucchero pottery was removed from the 50 to 70cm level below the surface. In general the pottery incovered this year from the lower level is cinsistant with that found by Fullerton in the 0-50cm level in 1976.
The pottery uncovered for Rec
12 appears to have been depositied throught the 20cm depth of the level excavated during the \'77 season. The majority of bucchero sherds were, however, found within and immediately above a carbon layer 5-10cm thick. The bucchero sherds were concentrated within the northern half of the rectangle.
Coarse ware
The coarse ware uncovered in Rec 12 this year constituted 70% of the total number of sherds, the remaining 30% being made up of a fine impasto (orange ware), bucchero and a small amount of painted sherds.
The general nature of the coarse ware is consistant with that uncovered by Fullerton in \'76. Most notable are sherds from coarse pots with a triple band moulding at the rim 8see p 17 #6 for profile) Fragments from a large cooking bell, and a large cooking pan, and a large pithos are worthy of mention. Profiles of three course ware pots were recovered. (see pp. 17 #6, 25 #12, 29 #9)
Bucchero
Rectang\xf2e 12 produced an interesting assortment of bucchero sherds, many with incised and stamped decoration. Incised designs consisted of fan, net
and cable patterns. Stamped designs were composed primarily of concetric circles, although Fullerton removed an interesting assortment of sherds with stmped animal patterns. Most noteworthy from this seson's excavation was a stamped plate rim with a \'procesion\' of figures holdong hands. (see p.11 #2) No profiles were made with sherds from the \'76 excavation of the area. (see p.31 #13) The majority of bucchero shapes appear to be those of shallow bowls on conical feet and cups or small bowls with
verticle or near verticle rims. Several fine handles with raised edges can be noted from amoung the finds. In general the bucchero sherds found this year compliment those from Fullerton's excavation. (foe a general summary of Fullerton's finds see M. Fullerton Book 1, pp. 94#4 , 86#5 and 90#5 )
Painted wares consisted of sherds with light orange fabric with grey interior to a solid cream. Decoration was maily that of a simple band pattern in an orange to red-brown medium. A sherd with oblong loops in a red-brown paint is worthy
of mention.
Fine orange impasto sherds were not numerous, however, a complete profile of an orange impasto bowl on a low foot was obtained. (see p. 27 #1)
