Jars with rounded body, constricted mouth and direct rim, some- times upturned 1-4 cm. below the rounded lip. Rim diameter 14-42 cm. (fig. 197-20). Occasional decoration: Applique: Ribs averaging 1 cm. wide and 1 cm. thick, and conical nubbins up to 3 cm. in diameter and 1 cm. high occur throughout the Arua Phase (figs. 198, 199, 200; pis. 108, 110, 111, a). Impressed rings: The surface of the neck or of a low applique rib around the neck or the shoulder of a large jar sometimes bears a row of rings made by pressing the end of a hollow reed or cane into the wet clay. The rings are not evenlj' spaced or placed in a straight row. Diameter is cm., with the depth varying from 3-5 mm. This type of occasional decoration is most frequent in the earlier part of the Arua Phase (pis. 108, 109). Punctate: A row of punctates is sometimes substituted for the more usual row of impressed rings on a rib or along the rim of a griddle (pi. 107). Temporal differences within the type: There is a consistent improvement in surface finish from early to late Arua Phase sites, including an increase in the frequency of rubbing with red ocher. Bowl shapes 1 and 5 and jar shapes 12 and 16 tend to be early, while jar shapes 13 and 14 are found only in late sites. Jar shape 17 increases in frequency and bowl shapes 2, 3 and 6 show a decline. Bowl shape 7 increases in popularity from the early to the middle part of the Phase and then declines (Appendix, table 52)..
