48 SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS VOL. 92 



has a dark red slip, and there are traces of a black design on the 

 flat rim. 



Some 53 lugs were recovered. These are very similar to lugs from 

 site I, Barburata Island (figs. 24-27). Seven lugs are of the vertical 

 type (e) with the constricted center at the point of attachment (com- 

 pare fig. 26, a-c). Some are extremely grotesque, others very plain. 

 Two rather unique face lugs are figured (pi. 5, a, c) but of these, 

 one (pi. 5, a) may come from a figurine. The 17 detached feet re- 

 covered at this site are similar to those from site i on Barburata 

 Island (compare fig. 28). One conical modeled foot represents a 

 human being (pi. 5, g) ; two cylindrical feet, one hollow and one 

 solid, suggest a manatee head ; one hollow cylindrical foot is like 

 figure 28, d; and three solid, thin, rectangular feet are like figure 18, 

 but lack the incisions. Fragments of annular bases are rather com- 

 mon, and one of these has the reversed L perforation characteristic 

 of various marble vases from the Uloa River. 



The plain or crudely decorated monochrome ware was scantily 

 represented at site i and is even more poorly represented in our 

 collections. To judge from the sherds of this type, the plain vessels 

 ranged from heavy jars, slightly less than i meter in height, to 

 smaller open bowls and flat saucers only 4.5 cm in diameter. The 

 majority of the plain rim sherds are from medium-sized vessels with 

 restricted orifices and low, more or less flaring rims. No clear 

 distinction can be made between the plain and the elaborately m- 

 cised monochrome ware at this site, since many of the plain sherds 

 are more highly polished and thinner than some of those that are 

 incised. The distinction is made, however, owing to the fact that it 

 seems to have significance elsewhere and that the low proportion of 

 plain as opposed to incised sherds at this site is very striking. 



No complete figurines were recovered, but several fragments were 

 found. One grotesque hollow head (pi. 5, b) of brown pottery is 

 similar to those from site i, Barburata Island (pi. 28, fig. i, a-c) 

 except that the hands on the face are unique. There were five frag- 

 ments from similar figurines. In addition, there are two five-fingered 

 hands and a number of rolls of fired clay that probably came from 

 figurines. An object of unknown use was a concave oval disk of 

 brown pottery with a perforation at each end (compare fig. 29, b). 



OTHER ARTIFACTS 



Ground-stone artifacts were not numerous but included a small 

 mace head (3.7 cm high) of white marble with vertical incisions down 

 the sides (pi. 17, i) ; a thick, sharp-edged little celt (3.5 cm wide)
