The pot on the left is drilled so it could be suspended from the ceiling or wall and was found with a child burial. The pot on the top right has strap handles and is incised with a curvilinear design.

Second Row center: A flared rim shard with a strap handle attached and has an angular incised neck.
Second Row right: Flared rim shard with an angular incised design.
