Three pottery bowls have almost vertical sides with flat bases
(Fig. 14;1, 2, 3) while one very crude vessel with vertical sides is
round bottomed. Three of the bowls are quite shallow, approaching the
plate form but lacking the flattened plate rim (Fig. 14;5). The plate
forms identified for Lawhorn were from the sherd collection and these
represent 1.8% of the identified shapes. Four other bowls are small
round-bottomed pots typical of the Memphis-St. Francis Mississippian
groups.
The only recovered vessel showing painted decoration were two shallow
bowls. One of these was Carson Red on Buff slipped on both the inside
and outside surface (Fig. 12;1). It is a very shallow bowl with a
diameter of 3 cm. and a depth of 8 cm. The lip was flat and scalloped
around the outer edge. The interior had been painted with a red design
composed of four large triangles drawn as opposing parts so that on two
the apex was up while on the other pair it was down.
