Restored vessel: One vessel of this type (pi. 14, a) has the following 

 dimensions : 



j >' Height - 213 mm. 



' Diameter at shoulder _— 265 



Diameter at neck 172 



Mouth diameter 175 



Lip thickness 5 



Rim/body thickness 2-6 



Capacity (liquid) 1 5qts. 



Comments: This type most closely resembles the type Talking Crow Straight 

 Rim from the Talking Crow site (Smith, 1951, pp. 36-37, pi. 8, g-Tc). Dif- 

 ferences between the Demery and the Talking Crow samples consist of minor 

 deviations in rim size and the presence of different shoulder patterns at 

 Demery. A comparison of the Demery pottery with the Talking Crow Straight 

 Rim from the Spain site (Smith and Grange, 1958, pp. 101-102, pi. 30, h-j) 

 reveals more distinctive differences: interior lip notching and handles (pres- 

 ent at Talking Crow and Demery) are lacking in the Spain site. The Demery 

 sample is similar to most of the pottery designated by Cooper (1949, pp. 

 306-308) as Category C. Smith and Grange (1958, p. 102) remark that 

 some of the Wheeler Ridged and Wheeler Plain rim sherds from Scalp Creek 

 (Hurt, 1952, pp. 73-75) are "indistinguishable from the type" as described 

 from the Spain site. There are also similarities between the Demery pot- 

 tery and certain of the noncollared rims from Arzberger (Spaulding, 1956, 

 pp. 149-164).

Sample : 476 vessels. \\ j 



SuEPACE FINISH : Undecorated shoulders were vertically simple-stamped, but 

 decorated vessels were smoothed before the application of the pattern. Many 

 rims show evidence of vertical stamp impressions under the horizontal smooth- 

 ing and incising. •, - . , 

 Decoration : 'I 

 ' -Lip: The 411 rims with clear evidence of treatment include 256 indented with 

 p- oblique tool impressions; 59 with tool impressions transverse to the lip; 

 22 with vertical or oblique punctates ; 28 with oblique tool impressions on 

 the interior rim; 14 with low oblique, elongated punctates along the lip; 

 and 32 plain rims. 

 Rim: The rims are horizontally incised or trailed between the lip and the 

 j \ neck. Bands consist of 2 to 13 lines ; 90 percent of the vessels have 3 to 

 10 lines, with an average of 7 to a vessel. Twenty rims have stab-and- 

 drag lines, either alone or in combination with incised lines (pi. 10, j). 

 On nine rims the horizontal lines are interrupted by incised triangles (pi. 

 10, h). '' 

 Shoulder: Twenty-nine vessels are decorated with incised or trailed shoulder 

 patterns. Three complete patterns observed include: Fig. 14, a, six ex- 

 amples; fig. 14, 6, one example; and fig 14, c, one example. One large 

 sherd from a small vessel is unique in having a continuous series of nodes 

 at the angular break of the shoulder (pi. 10, i) . 

 Form : 



Lip: Roimded to nearly flat. There are extrusions on a few rims due to 



coarse tool indentations. ' 



Rim: Characteristically straight to slightly outflaring. Height varies from 

 8 mm. on small vessels to a maximum of 65 mm. on a large rim decorated
