series of oblique string impressions below the lip. The cord-im- 

 printed "chevron" motif is not frequent at Woodpecker Cave, but it 

 occurs, particularly on a single rimsherd from a vessel with 

 a "raised corner" or eared mouth. Bennett (1945, p. 82) indicates 

 that this form of orifice is lacking in Wisconsin (but see above) ; it 

 suggests a possible relationship to the Tampico materials of Illinois 

 (type 5, Cole and Deuel, 1937, p. 48; Schoenbeck, 1946). 



Group B can be included within Havana Ware, specifically allied 

 to the Naples Stamped variety (Griffin, 1952, pp. 107, 109). The 

 excavated sample is much smaller than that of group A (fig. 21), but 

 the temporal span is nearly as great (figs. 20, 21). The close simi- 

 larity between Lake Michigan and Hopewellian body sherds has been 

 noted in Jo Daviess County (Bennett, 1945, p. 82). A similar situa- 

 tion prevails at Site 13JH202. The plotted depth ranges of groups 

 A and B are based upon both rim and body sherds so far as they can 

 be unequivocally related. The category of Miscellaneous Cord-im- 

 pressed sherds is composed of specimens non distinctive as to temper 

 and surface treatment. Individual units might relate either to group 

 A or group B. On the basis of thickness alone they most closely 

 suggest the latter. If they were so classed, it would extend the 

 stratigraphic range almost to that of group A. Quantitatively, how- 

 ever, such a supergroup, by no means, could challenge the marked 

 predominance of group A. 



In Jo Daviess County, Bennett (ibid., p. 81) notes the "strong 

 indication that Hopewellian and Effigy Mound were contemporane- 

 ous. . . ." Although admittedly based upon a small sample, the 

 situation is substantially similar at Woodpecker Cave. There is, 

 however, a slight priority of the Lake Michigan materials. It is of 

 further interest that the Hopewellian pottery in the Jo Daviess sites 

 appears to belong, preponderantly, to the Naples Stamped variety 

 (ibid., p. 83). 



The plain or unmarked Wares represented at 13JH202 are largely 

 nondistinctive. They are also of limited occurrence. The sample is not 

 homogeneous as to temper, color, or surface treatment. The distinctive 

 punctated lip, however, suggests an affiliation with the Weaver Plain 

 category as defined for Illinois (Griffin, 1952, p. 121; type 

 3a, Cole and Deuel, 1937, p. 47). Griffin (op. cit.) notes a gradual 

 shift from specific varieties of Havana Ware to Weaver in the 

 central Illinois Eiver Valley. At 13JH202, it is perhaps significant 

 that the Weaver-like rim sherds are relatively late in terms of the 

 ceramic sequence. 



Shell-tempered sherds are few and nondefinitive. Stratigraphi- 

 cally, they occur in a discontinuous pattern within the upper half 

 of the sequence. Shell-tempered pottery and probable Lake Michigan 

 Ware are coeval at Lee Mill Cave (Johnson and Taylor, 1956, p. 11)
