The four urns (Fig. 2, 3, 4, and 6) are characteristic examples of the
variety with the broad or deep overlapping border or rim. The first of
these has the pattern incised in the soft clay, that on the rim being
in diagonal lines, and the central portion reticulated. The second has
the herring-bone or chevron ornament around its rim, and the third
example is ornamented with horizontal and vertical lines alternately on
its rim, and zig-zagged, filled in with horizontal and crossed, lines
on the central part. The lines in this are all produced by indenting
a twisted thong into the clay while in a soft state. Fig. 16 has its
ornamentation indented with twisted thongs in “herring-bone” pattern
both on the outside and inside the rim and around the central part.
Fig. 8 has a central band as well as overhanging lip. Figs. 11 and 13,
from Dorsetshire barrows,[3] are of different form, the ornamentation
consisting of incised lines and impressed thumbmarks, &c. The remaining
engravings also give excellent examples of other forms and varieties of
these sepulchral vessels. Figs. 9 and 10 have the upper part curved,
and almost approaching to cup shape, and Fig. 7 has raised bands; in
Fig. 14 the upper parts are hollowed out; and in Fig. 15 the upper part
is marked with lozenges. Figs. 19 and 23 are ornamented with indented
dots produced by pressing the end of a stick or other substance into
the soft clay. Fig. 23 has these dots in zig-zag lines.
