Type A CQT. Mixed dacitic (quartz-bearing)-calcareous (>90%) hybrid temper sand, thick red ware.
Classified differently in 2 reports. Type A or B, andesitic aggregate sand temper likely from Saipan, fineware.
Type A CQT. Dacitic aggregate sand temper likely from Saipan, fineware.
Calcareous (>90%) hybrid temper sand. Lithic. May not have quartz.
BP9 has a full slide scan available (user: Guest pwd: Guest). Imaged by K. Hardy and M. Leclerc, ANU.
Wholly non-calcareous, poorly sorted andesitic sand temper made up dominantly of vitric, microlitic and some felsitic volcanic lithic fragments, feldspar is plagioclase. Coarseware. Clinopyroxene and orthopyroxene.
Type B VST. Terrigenous andesitic (non-quartzose) volcanic sand temper. Clinopyroxene dominant, but minor orthopyroxene.
Wholly non-calcareous, poorly sorted andesitic sand temper made up dominantly of vitric volcanic lithic fragments, feldspar is plagioclase. Coarseware.
TYPE C MVQT. Quartz-rich dacitic sand temper of Saipan origin intermingled with more abundant calcareous sand. Coarseware.
TYPE C MVQT. Mixed quartzose (dacitic)-calcareous hybrid temper sand. Thin red ware.
