=== Incisions === In addition to the seals, which were stamped in the wet clay before being fired in a [[kiln]], certain other marks were incised on these jar handles: *Concentric circles (usually two—sometimes only one; sometimes applied to unstamped handles but it is uncertain whether they were ever incised on unstamped jars) *Plus marks (resembling "+" or "t" or "X") *Hole marks (resembling the central anchor dot of the concentric circles) *Drag marks (probably attempts to cancel or obliterate the LMLK stamp) Hundreds of the handles with the circles have been found, but only a few of the plus, hole, and drag marks. Several LMLK stamps may have had additional inscriptions incised over them containing marks resembling the letters "I V" (hence "''Ivy'' incisions"); however, one or more of these handles may just contain stray Drag marks resembling the letters "I V" with no literate semantics intended.{{what|date=March 2024}}{{cn|date=March 2024}}
