Casgliadau Arlein

Sherds in a fabric similar to P67. The fabric is grey throughout, slightly soapy in texture, and with apparently ferrous concretions on both surfaces. The rim diameter is 160mm and the base diameter in the region of 100mm. The estimated height of the vessel has been around 120mm. The rim is rounded with a near vertical internal bevel or moulding. The decoration comprises small whipped cordmaggots arranged in an irregular double chevron on the rim bevel, short evenly-spaced oblique impressions on the top of the rim and a rectilinear arrangement of multiple impressions on the outside. Internally, below the rim bevel, the same decorative technique is employed with multiple horizontal impressions arranged in broadly vertical zones converging towards the base. None of the base sherds are decorated either internally or externally suggesting that the decoration stopped short of the bottom of the pot.
