CommentThe key feature of Nusamai type pottery is the round bottom and, in addition, there are some unique forms such as a boat-shaped form as well as a deep bowl and a shallow bowl. Usually, the side impressions of cord- and incised-lines run crosswise, and here the cord impression is applied between the incised lines, and above and below them there is a row of puncture marks.
