Impasto				475			1	10	One sherd has a chevron pattern impressed onto the exterior. 3 sherds had incised decoration, one has a line of two triangels crossed with horizontal lines, another sherd has a horizontal line with a zig-zag below it, the third sherd has connecting incised lines.

Italo Geometric	0	0	0	1	1	0.009	4	4	The italo geometric sherd has medium-thick reddish tightly curving lines on the exterior suggesting either ring-like decoration or a vessel with a small diameter with the lines circling the exterior. On the interior of the sherd it is reddish-orange in coloration, because of this no comparanda was found in Martelli and no spot date could be found. Further study required to spot date this particular sherd.
