Discussion/Acknowledgements

The vessel is finished with a painted design-these designs have been categorized into Dekorphase 1-4 by Stephan Schmid. Dekorphase 1 has a thinly-applied, pale-red paint; the design specific to this phase are simple straight or wavy lines extending from the interior of the rim down to the center of the vessel.
