roughened exterioi's which showed many of the tool markings. 

 Handles were confined to either the round or ovate knob or lug types. 

 These were placed either flush with the rims or slightly below the rim. 

 Usually there were only two handles to each vessel, o^Dposite each 

 other, but we found one steatite vessel with three handles. Two of 

 these handles were fairly close to each other while the opposing handle 

 was directly opposite one of them. Probably the maker misjudged 

 the position of one handle or was not satisfied with it and fashioned an- 

 other close to it. In order to properly balance the vessel he had to 

 determine which handle he was to place as an opposing element. In so 

 doing he failed to eliminate the nonfunctioning member. 



Hammerstones were made of crude quartz or quartzite nodules. 

 Both types were found in association with the nonceramic and ceramic- 

 bearing layers. These are waterworn nodules and had very little 

 work expended upon them. Most were battered at one end while 

 others had both ends battered. 



A number of schist flakes were found. Some were colored a reddish 

 tint while others were undefined. One specimen with a slightly ofi'- 

 center depression was stained a deeper red. This may be considered 

 as a sort of pallet or as a grinding surface where bits of hematite were 

 ground into powder. We not only found traces of powdered hematite 

 in the site but we recovered a number of small pieces of crude hematite 

 that were scattered throughout the pottery-bearing layer.
