cross of cord marks suggesting the use of a cord-wrapped paddle. 

 Two sherds show the gray-white wash on the inside already encount- 

 ered in sherds from house 2. There was no positive indication of 

 shape, though the curve of all sherds suggested round bottoms. In 

 thickness the ware ranged from 4 to 15 mm. The main decorative 

 effects were achieved by the modeling of rims and handles. Classi- 

 fied under the headings used for rim classification in house 2, these 

 are listed in table 6 (p. 253). 



The above list includes one-half of the distinct rim types described 

 from house 2 and indicates the close similarity between the ceramic 

 remains from both houses. The sherds from house 5 show propor- 

 tionately more cord marking, especially on the necks of vessels, but 

 this preponderance is due more to the selection of similar sherds for 

 restoration than to the natural distribution of types. The pottery 

 from the two houses is so close in all respects that not only the same 

 culture but the same general time period would seem to be represented. 



One complete tobacco pipe of unbaked clay was recovered in house 

 5 (pi. 16, fig. 2, 0). Although it is gray in color and appears to 

 have been sun-dried rather than baked, it shows evidence of con- 

 siderable use. Both bowl and stem are caked as the result of long- 

 continued smoking. The artifact is 44 mm long, 39 mm high, 14 mm 

 across the bowl, and 11 mm across the stem. Down one side is a 

 crack or joint in the original pipe material, suggesting that the clay 

 forming the bowl was poorly joined here. There is considerable limy 

 intermixture or tempering in the clay. A fragment of a tubular pottery 

 pipe or pipestem (pi. 16, fig. 2, e) also came from this house. This 

 fragment, broken at both ends, is 45 mm in length and conical in shape, 

 with an even perforation blackened from smoke extending from end 

 to end. The surface is a polished dark gray, and finely ground stone 

 is used for tempering. Whether this straight, conical fragment is 

 part of a straight tubular pipe or only the stem of an elbow pipe is 

 obscure, although it suggests the former type. If so, both the tubular 

 and the elbow pipe are represented in this house. 



Work in Ground Stone 



The most interesting artifact falling under the above category is 

 a broken pottery-making tool or anvil made of limestone (pi. 17, fig. i, 

 a). The stem of the anvil has been broken off, but the convex base is 

 smooth and polished. The fragment is 35 mm in height, 55 mm in 

 diameter across the broken stem, and 70 mm across the polished con- 

 vex face. It has been ground down from a piece of fossiliferous 

 Pennsylvania limestone. Although much of the pottery — in fact one
