c. AD 900 – 1500: Meillacoid pottery is characterized by its thin walls, typically measuring between 4 and 6 millimeters, and a granular paste that is reddish-brown to orange-brown in color. The most distinctive decorative technique involves narrow incised lines that leave a visible ridge of clay along the edges. Common motifs include crosshatching, oblique parallel lines, and straight lines that notably never end in a dot. Anthropomorphic lugs are constructed through the appliqué of facial features rather than the modeling found in other styles. These vessels frequently feature strap handles and adornos that rise above the rim on opposite sides.
