Late Style Olive Jar body forms and sizes are the most varied of any Olive Jar style. The light color, narrow horizontal ridging on the body, and the very simple unsculpted ring neck can help distinguish it from other styles.

This description of Olive Jar, Late Style comes from the Historical Archaeology Digital Ceramics Type Collection maintained by the Florida Museum of Natural History.
