Miscellaneous : One straight rim sherd with a plain, flat lip has a cylindrical 

 hole 15 mm. from the lip (pi. 3, &). The hole was punched from the ex- 

 terior while the clay was still moist, and the raised edges on the interior 

 smoothed down. The edges of the hole are not worn. 

 Pkevious illustrations and descriptions : Sherds of this type are described by 

 Hewes as "Type 9" and as "Type 11" from Paul Brave, and illustrated by 

 several sherds (1949 b, pp. 64:-67; pi. 5, lower right, t-u; pi. 6, left, i; pi. 6, 

 right, m, o, r) . The present type includes those sherds described by Hewes as 

 "Fort Yates Plain." 



Biggs Cross-Hatched Rim 

 (PL 4, 0-&, /) 



Sample : 54 rim sherds, representing 43 vessels. 

 Decoration : 



Lip: Oblique tool impressions occur on six sherds, and crosshatched tool 

 impressions appear on two sherds. Rims from one vessel are indented 

 along the lip with oval punctates ; the remaining lips are plain. 

 Rim: The rim is filled with crosshatched lines between the lip and the 

 neck. On 11 sherds there is a horizontally incised line encircling the rim 

 below the lip. 

 Shoulder'. The four decorated shoulders have horizontally incised lines. 

 Two of them have a "drooping corn stalk" and one of them has an in- 

 cised triangle over the horizontal lines (pi. 4, /) . 

 Form: 



Lip : Predominantly flat, with some round lips. Thickness, 7 to 9 mm. 

 Rim : Straight to somewhat outflared. Height is between 30 and 43 mm. : 



thickness, 6 to 8 mm. 

 Neck : The rim joins the shoulder in a smooth curve. 

 Shoulder : Rounded and steeply sloping. 

 Size : The orifices of two vessels, projected from large rim sherds, were 130 



and 190 mm. in diameter. 

 Appendages: Small triangular tabs are on the lips of four sherds. The 

 crest of each tab is incised. Sherds of one vessel with an incised tab has, in 

 addition, two plain vertical tabs. 

 Previous illustrations and descriptions : Sherds of this type are included in 

 the pottery described by Hewes as "Type 9, Fort Yates Fine Incised," and one 

 sherd is illustrated (1949 b, pp. 64-65, pi. 6, right, n). 

 Comments : The type originally defined by Hewes as "Fort Yates Fine Incised" 

 includes rims that were straight and flaring as well as S-shaped rims. The 

 straight or flaring rims bearing crosshatched designs are herein described 

 as "Riggs Cross-Hatched Rim," and the S-shaped rims with the same decora- 

 tion are herein classed as "Fort Yates Cross-Hatched Rim."
