An "à marli" plate with a flattened edge, where it is lavishly decorated with triangles and squares, made with the technique of engraving or incision after firing. It was unearthed in a silo amortized as landfill along with other remains of pottery, lithic industry and fauna. This type of plate is characteristic of the Chassey culture in Western Languedoc, and is an unusual find at a Catalan site.
