Lips were either rounded, rounded and flattened, or flattened. Lips

 ly executed, while others of this same weave were made of larger 

 elements, looser and more open in construction. Single elements may 

 vary greatly in diameter. In other instances we have found that 

 range in diameters of elements may run between 1.0 to 3.0 mm. 



Practically all of the exterior surface treatments are illustrated 

 in plates 87, 88, and 89. In plates 92 and 94 we have shown both

Conoidal bases occur on both the deep bowl and the olla forms. 

 An especially fine example is illustrated in plate 87, showing the small
