,,,BASE,Base forms/typology (see supporting document),
,,,H,Handle forms (see supporting document),
,,,SP,Spout dorms (see supporting document),
,,,GROOVE,"A feature produced by tooling, excision or impression with a pointed implement. (See supporting document)",

,,,PAINTW,White Paint/slip (see supporting document),
,,,COMB,"A technique carried out with a toother implement producing multiple (lightly) incised lines. It includes, for convenience, multiple combed (i.e. rilled) decoration and irregular techniques such as 'scoring' and 'scratching'. (See supporting document)",
,,,INCISED,"Usually identified as narrow, sometimes relatively deep, lines with a sharp profile, produced with a knife or similarly sharp tool. Also includes stabbing, a non-linear but otherwise similar technique. (See supporting document)",
,,,IMPRESSED,Decoration dormed by pressing an object or finger etc into the surface of the vessel. The distinction between this and Stamp is not always clear. (See supporting document),
,,,STAMP,"Stampled. The use of a specifically-shaped object, impressed into the surface to produce a unique mark (e.g. maker's name) or an identifiable/repeatable motif. (See supporting document)",
,,,ROULETTE,"Two different techniques are covered here: 1) the use of a small wheel or cylinder to produce a repeated pattern, the strict sense of the term, and 2) the use of a vibrating strip to produce a similar surface effect (chattering). Cut glass techniques are also included here. (See supporting document)",
,,,OTHER,"Miscellaneous (usually rare) decorative techniques and features, but including moulding techniques for decorated samian ware etc. (See supporting document)",
,,,CONFID,Confidence. This is a means of indicating uncertainties about identification in a systematic way. This is very useful. (See supporting document),
,,,JOINS,Indicates joining sherds of the same vessel and can also be used to indicate non-joining sherds of a vessel in other contexts (within a context these would be indicated by being recorded on the same line or by adjacent lines being bracketed together). Modern breaks are not counted. (See supporting document),
,,,WEAR,Wear and related characteristics. A very simple means of recording sherd condition (see supporting document),
,,,SOOT,"Burning/soot/scale residues. These include residues which may have a bearing on vessel use, and also burning which may represent vessel use or subsequent events. See supporting document",
,,,REPAIR,"1 rounded rivet(s) in situ
2 rounded rivet hole(s)
3 cleat(s) in situ
4 cleat hole(s)
5 pitch/cement
9 other",

2 rounded and pierced sherd
3 deliberately worn/rubbed
4 hole(s) drilled in vessel (usually in base) 
5 hole knocked in base
6 holes knocked in base
7 hole(s) in side of vessel
8 composite
9 other (include graffiti here)",
