A fragment of perforated pottery base, presumably a spindle whorl
fragment, was mentioned in the discussion of plain pottery. There were
also three fragments of fired daub with grass impressions and one
flattened surface. One tiny cone-shaped pottery fragment suggested a
figurine or doll leg. No other clay or ceramic artifacts were found.
Noticeable by their absence are pipes or pipe stem fragments, animal
figurines or heads, clay labrets and ear ornaments, all of which are not
unusual in this area.
Other negative ceramic traits are the absence of shell temper, except in
the small group of obviously late wares; red filming; pigment impression
into the lines of decoration; handles or other vessel appendages;
squared bases (not unusual elsewhere in Coles Creek and Alto ceramics);
squared or castellated rims (Vessel 105, Fig. 4, I is the only instance
of scalloped rim); vessel effigies, either whole vessel or rim
attachments; stamping (one foreign sherd), and cord marking.
