rounded lip. Decoration consists of a series of vertical, incised lines, 

 running downward from the lip for a distance of 22 mm. and, slight- 

 ly below the lower limit of these lines, a single row of dentate stamp 

 impressions. The sherd is tempered with grit, and its color ranges 

 from tan through gray to black. The lip thickness is 9 mm. and the 

 lower rim thickness is the same. 



The second specimen (pi. 51, &) shows considerable weathering 

 and lacks the lip. Its decoration consists of square dentate stamping, 

 arranged in parallel lines. Below this is a horizontally incised line, 

 and below this, and here and there superimposed upon it, is rocker- 

 stamping. Temper, color, and thickness are the same as in the speci- 

 men described above. 



Body sherds. — Of the 51 body sherds obtained, 32 were from the 

 surface of the site, 18 were recovered by Johnson's party in their 

 test pits, and 1, mentioned above, was recovered in Howard's test 

 pit 2. Forty-six are plain, and five are cord marked. Superimposed 

 on the surface of the plain sherds are examples of rocker-stamping, 

 dentate-stamping, and parallel, incised lines. Temper and color are 

 the same as in the rim sherds described above. Thickness ranges from 

 6 to 12 mm. 



Projectile points. — Two complete projectile points and the bases of 

 three others were recovered. These can be divided into two categories 

 on the basis of size. Four of the points are in the "large point" tradi- 

 tion and probably served as atlatl dart points (Fenenga, 1953) . They 

 all have expanding steins with straight or slightly convex bases. The 

 only complete point of this style (pi. 51, /) was recovered at a depth 

 of 1.5 feet in Howard's test pit 3. It measures 84 mm. in length, is 27 

 nrni. wide at the widest point, wliich is just above the notches, and has 

 a maximum thickness of 9 mm. Its base is slightly convex. The point 

 is made of a grayish-white chert. Another point of this style (pi. 51, 

 e) , consisting of only the basal portion, is made of a gray chert with 

 white inclusions. It has a maximum width of 40 mm. and a maximum 

 thickness of 7 mm. Its base is straight. The third point of this style, 

 also a fragment, has a slightly convex base (pi 51, d) . It has a maxi- 

 mum width of 40 mm. and a maximum thickness of 8 mm. It is made 

 of gray Flint Hills chert. The fourth large point, very fragmentary, 

 is of dark gray chert. Its maximum thickness is 5 mm. 



The remaining point is in the "small point" tradition (pi. 51, c) and 

 probably served as an arrowhead (Fenenga, 1953) . It is triangular in 

 outline and unnotched, made of gray Flint Hills chert. Its length is 

 11 mm., its maximum width 9 mm., and its maximum thiclmess 2 mm. 

 Points of this type are generally considered to be "late horizon" 

 markers, i.e., characteristic of late prehistoric and historic cultures. 



Drill. — One possible drill point, fashioned from gray chert, was
