Local Landmarks | Next to stream on northern edge of deposit, flattened site, near site 131 which could be major site in the area. |
Site Description | Only indication of occupation now is slight difference in soil coloration, general agricultural soil is grey-black, occupation soils have a more brownish red tint. Size of site is difficult to estimate since original mound may have been spread over fields. Some indication that it is primarily a single period site, rich collection, should be studied again. Some indication of ceramic production, scraping tools, some overfired pieces. |
Survey Conditions(include time spent on site) | Good, collected in sections |
Collection Comments | More or less a single period site with some few Ubaid type sherds. Hundreds of chaff-faced simple ware bowls “flint-scraped” is it really ceramic scraper. Typical ware=heavy chaff and some white and black grit temper, core is never completely oxidized, paste is orange red to red, to brown red. Occasionally a cream slip which is used, but it seems to have a tendency to wear off and thus it’s difficult to guess at proportions from surface materials. Striations on flat-base interiors look like wheel finishing; scrapers? Forms plain bowls both straight sided and rounded in different sized prominent form, deep bowl, globular body. Bowls with slightly thickened or rolled rim--these have a tendency to be slipped; rolled rim open forms with straight walls--these could be stands. Same rim is used on tall necked jars, can be flat-topped or everted, One flat top bowl form appears to be made in grey, series of low necked jars; could be a production site; tons of material. |
