Archaeology / The Neolithic
Italian term or phrase: campiti
I due frammenti di ceramica d’impasto, presentano superfici ben curate, lisciate, dalla forma aperta; uno decorato con motivi a triangoli campiti da impressioni orizzontali a crudo di cardium...

I have been told this is a decorative technique. Any help appreciated.

"campitura" means "painting on the background", hence my suggestion.
