rounded, and flat bases, two body fragments have
shallow vertical handles, and another three have un-
perforated knobs. There are small, medium and large
size pots, often with everted rims, but straight ones are
also present. Six of the S-shaped / carinated vessels
are of small size (rim diameter < 20 cm), six are of
middle size (rim diameter between 20 and 25 cm), and
five are larger sized vessels (rim diameter between 26
and 30 cm; see Table 1). The majority of the sampled S-
shaped / carinated vessel fragments were undecorated
(22 out of 37). Within the ones with decoration, the
most common form is represented by spatula impres-
sions on the top of the rim. Two rim fragments show
decorations with hollow circular impressions and/or
thumb impressions, right below the rim on the exte-
rior. There are only three fragments with body decora-
tion covering the lower neck and belly sections of the
vessels. These decorations consist of double incisions,
forming triangles. The wall thickness of these vessel
fragments varies from 5 to 11 mm, with an average
of 8 mm; it does not indicate any correlation with the
size of the vessel or the decoration.
In general, it is not possible to assign the selected
vessels to specific cultural groups, except for two Ros-
sen culture pots that exhibit clear morphological and
decorative characteristics (samples HU26 and HU30;
see Figs. 3-7). These pots are small-sized S-shaped
and carinated vessels with diameters of 17.5 and
10 cm (based on drawings in Kampffmeyer 1991,
554 table 5), respectively. They both have burnished
exteriors and double incision decorations covering
their lower neck and upper belly parts, indicating
distinctive characteristics for Rbssen culture pottery
(Bogucki / Grygiel 1993).
There are three bowls in the selected assem-
blage, all with slightly rounded bases. All three bowls
have a diameter of 23-24 cm with a wall thickness
of 7-9 mm. One of the three bowls is decorated with
spatula impressions on the top of the rim, while the
remaining two have no decoration.
