Early Bronze Age pottery beaker

12 fragments of probable Early Bronze Age beaker pottery, possibly 'domestic' beaker. Three distinct decorative schemes are present but it is unclear whether there represent separate vessels or a single vessel with vaired decoration. Several sherds have a slight, raised shoulder or neck cordon with possible bird-bone impressions below on the flaring, globular belly. A single, large sherd is decorated with regularly spaced, shallow, ova impressions and another has closely spaced, triangular impressions. All are of a similar grog tempered fabric.
