Clay vessel

Small, thin-walled bowl with retracting wall and slightly overhanging rim. The object has been smoothed, slurried and painted on both sides. The painting is partially eroded. There are black soot stains on the body. The outside of the pottery and the inside of the rim are decorated with two opposing, vertical bundles of lines that were applied with red paint. There are two incised, circumferential lines on the outside of the rim. According to Lothrop 1926: highland, red line ware, type B. Cultural significance: the type is related to the San Miguel Galleta group (1550-1000d.C.). (Künne 2004)
