The similarity lies largely in the triangular design motifs which are common in all three types. Occasionally the area inside the rim collar is decorated with a single band of parallel vertical shell stamping. Exterior surfaces are often smoothed above the shoulder and lower portions, including the base, consist of smoothed over cord marking. Interior surfaces are always smoothed. Morphology Vessel morphology is characterized as globular.
Collars are of very low relief compared with contemporary types.
Rim profiles are straight to slightly everted. One example of the Hackney Pond type from Site 61-49 showed double constriction of the neck, though neck constrictions are shallow. Shoulders of Hackney Pond vessels are not well pronounced. Rim diameters of Hackney Pond vessels range from 22-26 cm. Lack of reconstructed specimens precludes further analysis of vessel dimensions.
