v2.c38.107

The pottery complex is generally of red ware varying in shades from ochrous to brownish. However a few sherds, greyish probably due to ill-firing, also occasionally occur. The pottery, in bulk wheel-made, is usually of well-levigated clay varying in fabric from fine to coarse with the medium fabric dominating. It is sturdy and well-fired and is treated generally with a fine slip and occasionally with a wash. A fairly large number of sherds are decorated with painting in black pigment, incised designs, graffito marks [20.1] and applied devices.
