Form: Because of the limited number of rim and basal sherds, only two forms can be reconstructed with reasonable certainty. The limitation of the corru- gations to a band on the body of the vessel in some instances suggests that some of the rims and vessel shapes attributed to Piryzal Plain may also apply to Floripes Corrugated (e. g., Piryzal Plain, shapes 1, 2, 3, and 4). Common vessel shapes reconstructed from sherds: 1. Open bowl with straight, outslanting walls and unthickened rim (fig. 161-1). Rim:

Common vessel shapes reconstructed from sherds: 1. Open bowl with straight, outslanting walls and unthickened rim (fig. 161-1). Rim: Unthickened, flat top with rounded corners; mouth diameter 28 cm. Body wall thickness: 4-11 mm, majority 6-7 mm. Base: Flat, sometimes slightly thickened (10-14 mm.) or on a short pedestal (6-12 mm. high), with the sidewalls forming an angle of 50-65 degrees. Diameter 11-18 cm. Body dimensions: Reconstructed height 12-16 cm. Decoration: Bands of corrugations extending to within a few centi- meters of the rim and either to the base or a few centimeters from it and usually bordered with either uncorrugated coils or smoothed areas. 2. Globular-bodied jar with constricted neck, thickened and everted rim (fig. 161-2; pi. 97, a). Rim: Everted, externally thickened, with a flat top and rounded or tapered lip. Thickness cm.; mouth diameter 12-26 cm. Body wall thickness: 5-10 mm, majority 7-8 mm. 3vU-^^'. \riki:-^ii^'. I I I I I I I 0 4 8 12 CM Vessel Scale I I I 0 1 2 3 CM Rim Scale.
