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. These vessels frequently feature strap handles and adornos that rise above the rim on opposite sides.
