There are several sherds that do not fit any of the recognized 

 Caddoan types. They can probably be best explained, by and large, 

 as the result of individual experimentation or expression of personal 

 idiosyncrasies of the potters who made them. Only one of the 

 unusual sherds seems to be definitely extraneous — a small sherd (pi. 

 10, g) with three shallow, U-shaped, parallel, incised lines forming 

 a zone that is flanked on both sides by areas bearing fine dentate 

 stamping. In paste characteristics as well as decoration it appears 

 identical to the type Marksville Stamped (Phillips, Ford, and Grif- 

 fin, 1951, pp. 91-94) of the Lower Mississippi Valley.
