62890, 62892-6. A considerable number of fragments of pottery was found
in the stratum of ashes.
_Form._--Vases of the wide-mouthed, round-bodied variety are
represented, also a number of hemispherical bowls. One large fragment
representing a vessel with rounded bottom was found.
_Size._--The pot-like vases have been quite large, the mouths being as
much as 14 inches in diameter. The larger bowls have been 10 inches or
more in diameter. Others are smaller. The walls of some of the larger
vessels have been half an inch in thickness.
_Material._--Classified by material, there are two varieties, one is
composed of the usual clay and pulverized shells, the latter being
coarse and exceedingly plentiful; the other has no shell material, but
in its place an admixture of sand and small quartz pebbles.
_Ornamentation._--The inside is plain as usual, and many of the
fragments have no exterior ornament. There are two varieties of surface
markings; one consists of impressions of basket work, which indicate a
broad series of fillets bound together by small twisted cords of grass
or bark; the other appears to have been made by an open net-work of fine
cords, which have been quite irregularly arranged.
