The synthesis of the ceramic assemblage Sample Clauses

The synthesis of the ceramic assemblage. The CPP typology This typology is based on 265 elements including 23 complete vessel shapes as well as the associated modes of decoration. The morphological rim register of 168 elements declines firstly with regard to the series SM III followed by SM VI and XX XX, representing 77% of the rim total. The other series are clearly less important, but provide characteristic elements concerning their specific morphology and decorative aspects, such as the bottle necks (SM VII). As to these series and with PK 11 (cf. Section 8.5.6), we observed a number of frequent morphological traits and decorative modes. Three similar forms were identified: Form A The most significant recipients are most certainly the open or slightly restricted spheric bowls with parallel oblique or vertical incisions. They are most often crossed or in treilles and applied at the upper part of the bowl, i.e. SM IIIc and SM Via. They are also grouped as Form A when compared with PK 11 (Fig. 8.17). Form B Another important combination is the pot with concave rims and a red coloured band often combined with treilles or alternated incisons on the neck or shoulder, i.e. XX XX and SM V which resemble Form B of PK 11. Form C A less relevant series consisting of bottles (SM VII). However, the morphology and combination of decoration modes, a red coloured band and treilles or alternated incisions, resemble Form C of PK 11. Aside from the above three similar forms when comparted to PK 11, we identified two new forms with regard to CPP: i.e. XX XX (Fig. 9.16). These vessels were also found at Sainte-Agathe (Xxxxxxxxx 2009:61, Plate 1n–p) and at MCA/Vieux Chemin (Coutet 2009:282, Type 4). Form E Small keeled (ovoid) bowls with incisions, notably wavy-lines or treilles, often accompanied by nubbins and lugs, i.e. SM VIc. These bowls were also found at Saint-Xxx (Delpech 2010:27) and at Pointe Xxxxxxx (Xxxxxxx 1974:29, Fig. 1). The following remarks must now be made regarding the ceramic series of CPP: a. The other subseries, i.e. SM I, SM IIb and SM IIIb, play an important role, but did not show a clear association with a certain type of decoration. Nevertheless, we must underscore the fact that these series are popular vessel shapes, too, and a part of the CPP assemblage (Figs. 9.17-20). b. It is relevant to emphasize the homogeneity of the modal series and the proposed forms in combination with the dominating reducing firing technique and mixed/grog temper. The reason for this is that it may reflect a d...
