1,"Jar","JA","JA1"," Large bipartite jar with evenly curved profile but with shoulder angle emphasized by finger impressions pushing up a rough cordon. Similar fmger impressions below the rim give the rim top a slight outward projection.  Fabrics: A (34); D (43). Ceramic phases 1—3.",1.00,"25"
2,"Jar","JA","JA2"," Exact body shape uncertain but possibly similar to JA1. Differs from JA1 in that the rim top is expanded inwards at right-angles in ‘hammer-head’ form. Fabrics: A (6); C (16); D (4). Ceramic phases 1—",1.00,"25"
3,"Jar","JB","JB1","The basic form is a high shouldered jar with slightly flaring rim and with some form of moulding on the rim top, usually finger-tip or finger-nail decoration but occasionally shallow-tooled impressions (eg vessel 713). Division into two varieties is to some extent arbitrary but form JB1.1 is larger than JB1 ~2 and the finger impress ions on the rim top are more pronounced causing the rim top to expand outwards. The surface often shows evidence of wiping.  Fabrics: A (399); B (433); C (35); D (1474); E (1). Ceramic phases 1—3.",2.00,"26-27"
4,"Jar","JB","JB2","Shouldered jars with upstanding or slightly everted rims. The rim tops are usually flattened but there is no finger-tip decoration. The form type encompasses a wide range of vessel shapes and finishes but these may be divided into three broad groupings. Form JB2. 1 is squatter than the other varieties and therefore of more bulbous shape with height equal to or less than maximum diameter. Form JB2.2 is taller with height always greater than maximum diameter. The rim may be upright or flared. The distinction between these two varieties is to some extent arbitrary since one variety merges with another and in small sherds it is usually impossible to be sure which variety is represented. In this case the sherd will be categorized JB2.0. The range of profiles accepted can be judged from the illustrations; further subdivision while possible does not seem to be worthwhile. The variety JB2.3 is used to contain smaller, more thickly-made vessels, again showing a variety of profiles. Vessel 739 could well be put in one of the Bowl categories but its fabric and style of manufacture make it close to others in JB2.3. Fabrics: A (288); B (141); C (183); D (686); E (11). Ceramic phases 3—4.",3.00,"28-31"
5,"Jar","JB","JB3","Large jars with rounded profiles and upstanding or slightly everted necks. The rim tops are usually squared and sometimes hollowed slightly on the inside. The vessels are usually more carefully made than form JB2 and the surfaces are usually smoothed or burnished. There is a degree of gradation between JB2 and JB3 types but the quality of the finish is usually a distinguishing factor. Fabrics: A (1); B (36); D (60). Ceramic phases 3—4.",1.00,"32-33"
6,"Jar","JB","JB4","Large barrel-shaped jars without much emphasis on the shoulder. The fabrics are usually fairly coarse and sandy and the external surfaces are wiped or roughly bur nished. Although the shapes grade between jB3 and JC3 the fabrics and surface fmishes are usually decisive. Fabrics:	A (121); B (103); C (1); D (703). Ceramic phases 4-5.",1.00,"34"
7,"Jar","JB","JC1","Large barrel-shaped storage jars with flattened rim tops, the rims being sometimes slightly upstanding. There is some variation in form particularly in the degree of roundness of the barrel shape and clearly subdivision is possible. Fabrics are usually sandy and the surfaces are usually smoothed or roughly burnished. Fabrics:	A (37); B (497); C (86); D (214). Ceramic phases 4-5.",1.00,"35-36"
8,"Jar","JB","JC2","Jars of varying sizes, with rounded profiles but distinct high shoulders. The mouth is slightly narrower than the shoulder diameter. The rims are usually slightly thick ened and rolled outwards to form a proto-bead rim. There is a considerable variation within these limits but three basic varieties have been distinguished. Form JC2. 1 is a large jar form of height greater than its maximum diameter and with base considerably less in diameter than the rim. Form JC2.2 is rather more barrel-shaped with base diameter less but not much less than rim diameter; in other words it is more open at the top than JC2. 1. Form JC2.3 is a smaller jar than JC2. 1 and JC2.2 but covers the shape range of both. There is overlap between all three varieties and when real doubt exists the JC2.0 grouping is used. There is also a gradation between JC2.3, BC1, BC2, and PB1 but JC2.3 tends to be more barrel-shaped. Strict metrical rules could be laid down to distinguish between the varieties but since, to be of value, complete profiles would be required, and these are seldom found, the more subjec tive sorting is the only practicable method. Surfaces are usually highly burnished and zones of shallow-tooled decoration are not uncommon around the upper part of the vessels.  Fabrics:	A (57); B (1757); C (31); D (857); E (2); F (6); G (1). Ceramic phases 5—7.",3.00,"37-42"
9,"Jar","JB","JC3","High-shouldered jars with short upstanding or beaded rims. The range of shapes is similar to JC2 but the JC3 forms are wheel-made or wheel-finished in a hard sandy fabric. Two varieties have been recognized here to distinguish between the deeper jars with beaded rims (JC3.1) and the wide high-shouldered type with a more upstanding rim (JC3.2). Form JC3.2 could have been classed as a bowl type but since the distinction between JC3. 1 and JC3.2 is often difficult to make when dealing only with sherds it is preferable to keep them close together in the classificatory scheme. Some have zones of shallow-tooled decoration on the shoulder. Fabrics:	B (107); C (24); D (322). Ceramic phase 8.",2.00,"43-44"
10,"Jar","JD","JD1","Globular shaped jar with gently outcurving rim. Distin guished from JB3 which has a sharper demarcation between the rim and the rest of the body. JB4 is also similar but JD1 has a more gentle S—shaped profile. Smoothed or burnished surface in sandy fabrics. Fabric:	D (87). Ceramic phases 4—6.",1.00,"45"
11,"Jar","JD","JD2","Shouldered or globular jars with gently outcurving rims and pedestal or footring bases. It is virtually impossible to tell from rim sherds alone whether a vessel should belong to this category or to JD3 since the only really distinguishing characteristic is the base. Where there has been doubt the JD3.0 grouping has been used. For this reason the quantity ascribed to JD2 may be depressed, but relative numbers are presumably fairly reflected in the number of bases. Base form allows two varieties to be distinguished, the high pedestal (JD2.1) and the low pedestal (JD2.2). Vessels are well made and the surface is usually burnished. Fabrics: A (2); B (166); C (2); D (241). Ceramic phases 3—5.",2.00,"46"
12,"Jar","JD","JD3","Globular S—profiled jars with outcurving rims. The profiles vary but within the narrow limits demonstrated by the illustration. Three varieties have been distin guished. JD3.1 is a wide-bodied type. JD3.2 is a smaller and rather narrower-bodied type, while JD3.3 has rather sharper everted rims. They are also made in a distinctive highly burnished black sandy fabric with more deeply impressed shallow-tooled decoration. Shallow-tooled decoration in a zone around the upper part of the vessel is usual. Fabrics: A (1); B (287); D (103). Ceramic phases 6—7.",3.00,"47-50"

15,"Jar","JE","JE","The category JE is a catch-all for wheel-made jars of broadly globular or high-shouldered form and with upstanding or outcurving rims. Strictly the range war rants fmer division but since the quantity of material is small and often in sherd form only no attempt at subdivision has been made, the general category JE1/4 being used. A finer subdivision has been adopted at Hengistbury. The Danebury sherds include the follow ing varieties: a S—profile jar with outcurved rim b	Globular jars with upstanding rims and with the body divided into horizontal zones by cordons or grooves c	Jars of uncertain form  ossibly globular deco rated with close-set ruled grooves d	Jar with high shoulder, upstanding rim, and project ing footring baseFabrics: A (8); B (7); C (2); D (327); E (12).

16,"Bowl","BA","BA1","The type is not well represented but the category includes simple shouldered bowls with an inward sloping or upright side above the shoulder. Two varieties are allowed, a simple bipartite type (BA! .1) and one in which the upper part of the vessel is vertical (BA1 .2). Fabrics: A(35); B (39); C (7); D (42); E (1); F (1). Ceramic phases 1—4.",2.00,"54"
17,"Bowl","BA","BA2","A general category to contain all coarseware shouldered bowls of tripartite form including those with rounded shoulders. Of the three varieties allowed, BA2. 1 has a sharp shoulder angle and a flaring rim. The variety may well have a footring base as well and is usually in a highly burnished black sandy fabric. BA2.2 is an amorphous group but each vessel has a distinct shoulder angle and flaring rim. BA2.3 is typified by more rounded profiles. The body and shoulder are continuously curved but a distinct change of angle usually marks the junction of the shoulder and rim. The three varieties merge one into another.  Fabrics: A (66); B (400); C (15); D (604); E (6). Ceramic phases 3—4.",3.00,"55-56"
18,"Bowl","BB","BB1","Bowl of a very distinctive form, fmely made and sharply moulded. The vessels have a flaring rim, a faceted shoulder, with facets frequently emphasized with cor dons, and usually a simple footring base. Geometric decoration scratched after firing is frequently found on the rim and shoulder. Vessels are invariably coated with haematite.  In analysis sub-coding was used: BB1 .0 referred to rim fragments only, 1.1 if cordons survived, and 1.2 if the fragments were of faceted shoulders. This is best abandoned and all vessels should be called BB1. Similar ity is so great that subdivision seems unnecessary but it might eventually be worth distinguishing between those with flared rims and the few bowls with more upright rims.

20,"Bowl","BB","BB3","Bowls with one or more cordons emphasizing a sharp shoulder angle above which the rim curves outwards. Two varieties are distinguished. BB3.1 is characterized by a sharply outcurved rim creating a deep concavity between cordon and rim top. They are coated with haematite and some have scratched geometric decora tion. BB3.2 is similar but with a less concave neck and more upstanding rim. Many of the rim fragments classed as BB1 could belong to vessels of this form.  Fabric: D (5). Ceramic phases 3 and ?4.",1.00,"60"
21,"Bowl","BC","BC1","Simple hemispherical bowls with thickened outcurved rim tops. The individual vessels vary in form but subdivision is difficult with so few adequate profiles. Usually well fmished and with burnished surface. The form merges with JC2. When there is doubt sherds have been assigned to JC2.  Fabrics:	B (34); D (39). Ceramic phases 4—7.",1.00,"61"
22,"Bowl","BC","BC2","Simple hemispherical bowls with largely undifferentiated rims. There is an area of overlap with form JC2 but when in doubt sherds have been assigned to JC2.

34,"Saucepan Pot","PA","PA1","Vessels with sides incurving slightly towards the top and usually with undifferentiated rims. Fabrics are usually sandy and surfaces may be quite roughly finished. The distinction between the two varieties is made on the basis of size: PA1.1 are usually small vessels 150—200 mm high while Pal .2 are considerably higher.
