In the ceramic analysis of the Site, 261 sherds were handeled as a "surface collection." This material either had no provenience, the location had been lost or was actually collected as a general surface collection. This quantity of material was used in the hope that, even though temporal data could not be obtained, a high number of possible attributes could be realized, delineated and by studying these attributes quantitatively, future research would ultimately eliminate relative terms i.e. shell tempering being "rare" when comparing other sites to the site.
