faces are generally smooth. A few sherds show evidence of having 

 been wiped with grass before firing. 



Eims are straight or slightly flaring. The lip is usually rounded, 

 but in one example is flattened. Shallow, vertical indentations are 

 present on the outer lip of five of the sherds (pi. 56, g^ h, j^ k) ; the 

 other two are undecorated (p. 56, i). One of the plain sherds tapers 

 from a thickness of only 4 mm. at the lip to a thickness of 10 mm. at 

 a point 50 mm. below the lip. The others have a more-or-less uniform 

 thickness of from 7 to 9 mm. 



Body sherds. — ^A total of 55 body sherds was recovered, all either 

 on the surface or in the 0-foot to 0.5-foot level. In thickness they 

 range from 6 to 15 mm., averaging about 9 mm. It is likely that the 

 thicker sherds are from the bottoms of the vessels. All but one of 

 these sherds are undecorated. The decorated sherd displays two 

 horizontal bands, 25 mm. apart, on its outer surface. The decoration 

 consists of a shallow incised, herringbone pattern. An identical 

 decoration is found on a sherd of the Neosho Focus of Oklahoma 

 figured by Bell and Baerreis (1951, pi. 13, 1) . 



Projectile points. — Four j)i'ojectile points were found at the site. 

 Three of these are in the "large point" tradition, while the fourth 

 is a small "late horizon" form. 



The only complete large point is a rather blunt specimen (pi. 56, 

 d) . The stem is of the expanding tyj)e and has a convex base. It is 

 49 mm. long, with a maximum width of 34 mm. and a maximum thick- 

 ness of 8 mm. It is made of cream-colored chert. Another of the 

 large points (pi. 56, e) , complete except for the tip, is m the same style, 

 though not as blunt. It has a maximum width of 33 mm. and a 

 maximum thickness of 7 mm. When complete, it was probably about 

 60 mm. long. This point is made of gray Flint Hills chert. The third 

 large point lacks most of the stem (pi. 56, c), but enough remains 

 to indicate that it was of the same type as the preceding ones. It has 

 a maximum width of 24 mm., a maximum thickness of 7 mm., and was 

 probably 35 mm. long when complete. It is made of light-gray chert. 



The small point (pi. 56, &) is triangular, unnotched, and slightly 

 concave at the base. It is 29 mm. long, 13 mm. wide at the base, 

 and has a maximum thickness of 3 mm. Its material is the same 

 cream-colored chert as the first large point described above. 



Blade. — The base of a long, chipped blade was recovered. It is 

 made of a pinkish-gray chert. Its base is rounded, and the piece is 

 worked on both sides. It has a maximum width of 41 mm., measured 

 at the point of breakage, and a maximum thickness of 10 mm. 



Abrader. — A fragment of a sandstone abrader was found on the 

 surface of the site. Both ends are missing. It is rectangular in cross 

 section and measures 35 mm. by 30 mm.
