pS. ^fo^.' IsY" PAUL BRAVE SITE — WOOD AND WOOLWORTH 21 



Previous illustrations and descriptions : Sherds of this type were originally 

 defined by Hewes as "Type 10, Fort Yates Cord Impressed," and two sherds 

 are illustrated (1949 b, pp. 65-66, pi. 5, lower right, v, pi. 6, right, q). 



Comments : The present type description largely duplicates the original type 

 description by Hewes. Pottery of this type is similar to the type "Aldren 

 Cord Impressed" at the Thomas Riggs site ( Kleinsasser, 1953, p. 27; fig. 

 29, IS, 6). The sherds designated as "Fort Yates Cord Impressed" from 

 the Thomas Riggs site (Kleinsasser, 1953, p. 27; fig. 29, P/16, 4-5), however, 

 do not fit the type description of Hewes and should be renamed (Wheeler, 

 1954, p. 8; 1955, p. 398). 



Fort Yates Cross-Hatched Rim 

 (Pis. 4, c-e; 6, h) 



Sample: 30 rim sherds, representing 15 vessels, and one restored vessel. 

 Decoration : 

 Lip: None. 



Rim: Between the lip and the neck the rims are incised with crosshatched 

 lines. A horizontal incised line encircles the rim below the lip on sherds 

 from several vessels (pi. 4, e). On six rims there are punctates spaced 

 10 mm. apart on the rim below the crosshatched lines. 

 Shoulder: The shoulders of two sherds are horizontally incised. 

 Form : 



Lip: Predominantly flat, with some round; thickness, 6 to 8 mm. 



Rim: Outflaring, with a recurving lip, resulting in an S-shai)ed rim. Height, 



21 to 41 mm. ; thickness, 6 to 10 mm. 

 Neck: Constricted, with the rim joining the shoulder in a smooth curve. 

 Shoulder: Rounded and steeply sloping on large sherds. Some smaller 



sherds suggest a shoulder more nearly flat. 

 Size: A partially restored vessel, 90 mm. high, has a maximum diameter 

 of about 130 mm. When filled to the neck it contains 1 pint of water 

 (pi. 6, h). The orifice of one vessel, projected from a large rim, was 

 168 mm. in diameter. 

 Appendages: Scars on two rims indicate the presence of tabs on the lip. 

 One sherd retains a tab with an apical incision. 

 Previous illustrations and description: Several sherds of this type are in- 

 cluded 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, left, fc). 

 Comments: See the statements under the type "Riggs Cross-Hatched Rim" 

 above.
