as group x) are to be distinguished. The remains of this pottery were found on
the surface of the top of the hill in terraces I, II, IV, and V, as well as in the upper
layers of terraces I to VIII, down to an average level of +25 feet.

Technique.

Red monochrome vessels.—In the fracture the fragments show a clay which
in the interior is gray or earth-colored, and towards the outside light-brown or
reddish, or mixed gray and light-brown, according to the firing. Very thin vessels
are burnt red throughout. In the washing the clay was strongly impregnated with
mica and particles of quartz. The surface was covered with a thin-colored clay
slip and polished after the firing. This slip became generally light-red in firing,
but not uniform in tone. Brown vessels also occurred. The characteristic
feature of the whole family, however, is the flame-blackening or flame-spotting
(Flaemmung) which shows
itself in large black
blotches on the surface.
This flame-blackening may
have had its origin in the
method of firing and its
imperfection, but it was
clearly regarded as a deco-
ration and may at last
have been produced inten-
tionally. The interior of
the vessels is, as a rule,
not flame-blackened (plate
20, fig. 2).
Gray monochrome
ware.—The technique of the gray
monochrome ware corresponds to the
red, but is generally better. The clay
is light or dark-gray, well washed for
the most part, and much impreg-
nated with white particles. The
covering consists of a light or dark-
gray clay slip and is in many instances darker than the color of the clay.
Both groups of vessels were made by hand. In isolated examples of the
gray ware with the very well-washed clay and hard burning, there is combined
a semblance of wheel-work, but it is impossible to determine this with certainty.

Forms.

Red monochrome.—Small, delicate vessels, dishes, and deep cups are the pre-
dominating forms of the red ware, though larger, thick-walled forms are not lacking.
From the lip profiles selected from the great mass of fragments the following series
of forms has been compiled.
