CLASS 2 1966: NP-552: The frequently-illustrated red-on-buff footed vessel from EP 3 B. 26. Spiral designs painted on shoulder and triangular motifs on outer rim; two perforations each on opposite sides of rim and ringfoot. clay temper (Fig. 6-24a). NP-523: A "spittoon-shaped" vessel from late EP or early MP B. 83. Very high everted rim with vertical extension; low filleted ringfoot. Lower outer rim, entire body, and upper ringfoot covered with impressed rouletted designs in spirals and waves. Chaff temper (Fig. 6-24b). NP-802: A pot similar to NP-522 recovered during initial cleaning of soil matrix from bones of EP 3/MP 1? B. 80. The globular, ringfooted vessel had a red-painted rim and body, with red-on-white arclike designs on shoulder and vertical stripes running from redpainted body over outer ringfoot. Coarse clay temper (Fig. 6-24c). NP-804: This puzzling vessel was found in MP 7 B. 43 It has high collar rim decorated with bold incised "batwing" and zigzag motifs reminiscent of those found on EP 1 type 1B vessels; however, the punctate infilling as much cruder and not done with a dentate stamp. Sand temper. (This vessel was left in Bangkok; no drawing was made of it. P1. 8.) NP-1198: A squat, globular vessel with everted rim decorated with a band of dentate stamps, with a conical ringfoot; found in disturbed B. 18, doubtfully assigned to MP 4. Lower half of body cord-marked, upper half smoothed and decorated with three bands of vertical dentate stamps; a plain band with horizontal slashes separates the two bands, and the middle and lower band are separated by an incised zigzag decoration with punctuations in the center. Both design and execution appear to be quite distinct form the EP incised and filled decoration. Sand temper (Fig. 6-24d). Fig. 6-24a
