Foem: From the small number of sherds recovered of this type treatment, it 

 appears to be confined to the exteriors of medium-sized ollas of the typical 

 Early Woodland shape. 



Lips: Either simple rounded, slightly flattened, or slightly tapered. 



Rims : Either vertical or gently outsloping. 



Body : Elliptical or rounded. 



Base: Conoidal. 

 Probable belationship of type : This type is among the earliest of the various 

 wares in the Roanoke River system and is found in association with Hyco 

 Plain and Hyco Cord-Wrapped Paddle. All types have a common physical 

 appearance. Aerial distribution of the type is small, since it is not found in 

 the upper reaches of the Roanoke Valley but seems to be more prevalent on 

 the Dan River and its tributaries. Whether this type occurs on the New 

 River in western Virginia is unknown to the writer.

SCTKFACE finish: 



ModificaUons: 



Exteriors: Exteriors were carefully smoothed before application of 



finishing touches. 

 Interiors: Interiors were either carefully smoothed or treated with a 

 comblike object, which gave the inside surface a ridged effect. 

 Decoration: 



Technique: Exterior was malleated with a thong- or root-wrapped 



paddle. 

 Design: Design consists of a number of shallow, wide, flat grooves which 

 were either parallel to each other, transverse to each other, or di- 

 agonal to each other, and represented a negative of the wrapped 

 paddle. 

 Distribution: Impressions extended over entire exterior surface of the 

 vessel. Lips were untreated. 

 Form: 



Rims: Same as for Hyco Fabric-marked. 

 Lips: Same as for Hyco Fabric-marked. 

 Body: Same as for Hyco Fabric-marked. 

 Shapes: Same as for Hyco Fabric-marked. 

 Probable relationship of type: It is very close in resemblance to the Deptford 

 Simple Stamped both in appearance and in the time element. This ware is 

 scarce.
