Pattern 4 (figure 6.2d) was used to categorize cases in which interior carbonization is visible along the rim of the vessel while the extent of the residue below the rim is indeterminate. This pattern could represent either boiling or stewing. In most cases there is not enough of the rim present to determine whether the residue distribution distinctly stops at or near the base of the rim (boiling) or continues farther down the side of the interior vessel surface (stewing). Pattern 5 (figure 6.2e) represents patchy interior carbonization on the vessel surface with no discernible pattern.

Table 6.10 shows the frequency of each interior carbonization pattern by component. The most frequent pattern among all subsets is Pattern 4, largely due to the fragmentary nature of the assemblage, which precludes proper assessment of the distributional extent of residues on many vessels, especially those represented by small rim sherds. Unfortunately, Pattern 4 tells us very little about past cooking behaviors, and this is also the case with Pattern 5. Subsequent discussion therefore focuses on Patterns 1 through 3 (table 6.11; figure 6.6), which more clearly represent specific cooking behaviors.
