(pi. 2, h), found with burial No. 7, which resembles Barkman En- 

 graved in shape, but has an engraved design in which negative ele- 

 ments are emphasized. It probably can best be classified as Friend- 

 ship Engraved of the Mid-Ouachita Focus. 



Two bottle forms found in burials are rather distinctive in style. 

 Data from Knight's Bluff and other sites indicate that both prob- 

 ably merit status as types, but too few data are presently available 

 for detailed description. Consequently, they will be herein assigned 

 type names for convenience in reference, but are considered only 

 tentative types. Descriptions of these two tentative bottle types are 

 given below. 



Haley Engraved.* — Named and first recognized as a probable type by Krieger 

 (oral communication), but has not yet been described in print. A medium- 

 sized bottle of paste resembling that of Barkman Engraved. Body is squat, 

 globular, or ovoid, and the base is flat. Necks are cylindrical or slightly taper- 

 ing, and frequently flare outward at the lip. Decoration is confined to the 

 body and consists largely of scrolls and circles, the scrolls frequently inter- 

 locking. One diagnostic feature of this tentative type is the use of heavily 

 spurred lines, with hachuring in the triangular spur zones. Small spaces left 

 over after the scrolls or circles have been applied are frequently hachured, 

 probably to maintain a tendency to cover the body as completely as possible 

 with designs. Two or three horizontal engraved lines just below the neck and 

 just above the base delineate the decorated area. 



Two examples of Haley Engraved (pis. 1, a; 2, d) were found at 

 Knight's Bluff, one in burial No. 2, the other in burial No. 9. Pos- 

 sibly related to Haley Engraved, but with somewhat divergent de- 

 sign motifs, are two larger bottles (pis. 2, // 3, &) found with burials 

 10 and 11. 



Antioch Engraved. — ^The second of the two tentative bottle types is small in 

 size and careless in execution. The paste is dark and friable, the body ovoid, 

 the base flat, and the neck cylindrical or slightly tapering, with no flare at the 

 lip. Observed specimens frequently have such a drastic list that they appear 

 in danger of toppling at the gentlest breeze. Poor craftmanship is reflected 

 not only in vessel shape but also in the decoration, which consists of grotesque, 

 disorderly patterns of circular, curved, and straight engraved lines. Spurring 

 and ticking do not occur, but there is some crude hachuring. 



Burials Nos. 2, 4, and 7 each contained one Antioch Engraved 

 bottle (pis. 1, d, f; 2, c) , and general digging uncovered four sherds 

 (pi. 7, 5). 



Principal resident pottery types at the KJnight's Bluff Site, then, 

 are Barkman Engraved, Pease Brushed-Incised, Nash Neck Banded, 

 McKinney Plain, Dunkin Incised, late variant, and Baytown-like. 

 Of less frequent occurrence, but also considered as probable resident 

 types, are the two tentative bottle types, Haley Engraved and Anti- 

 och Ensraved. 



•Adthor's note. Haley Engraved has now been described In detail by Subm et al. 

 (1954, p. 284, pi. 26).
