POTTERY TYPES 



Several pottery types from the Paul Brave site are described below. 

 These types differ in certain respects from types previously described 

 by Gordon W. Hewes for some of the same pottery (1949 b, pp. 

 61-67) . This study utilizes the pottery types defined at the Thomas 

 Riggs site (Kleinsasser, 1953), but adds certain types that were lack- 

 ing at Thomas Riggs. This reclassification was deemed necessary for 

 several reasons. Pottery wares and types have been defined for 

 a number of complexes in the Middle Missouri area since Hewes ini- 

 tially defined his types from the Paul Brave site. These classifica- 

 tions seem to have adopted rim form as the primary sorting criterion. 

 Types or subtypes have been established within each ware for vessels 

 or sherds bearing different decorative techniques. It is difficult to 

 compare Hewes' types with those established by other workers, since 

 Hewes did not use rim form as the primary criterion in his classifica-
