PapA^.'IsT TORONTO RESERVOIR AREA, KANS. — HOWARD 363 



The first is large enough to indicate that it came from a vessel with a 

 constricted neck (pi. 58, o) . The rim is straight, with a flat lip. The 

 outer surface bears vertical cord impressions, the inner surface is 

 smooth. The color is dark brown throughout. Tliickness is 5 mm. at 

 the lip and 8 mm. at the point of breakage. The second sherd is also 

 straight, with a rounded lip (pi. 58, n). Decoration consists of a 

 series of parallel, horizontal, incised lines and notching on the outside 

 of the lip. The color is dark brown throughout. The lip thickness 

 is 3 mm. and the lower rim tliickness, at the point of breakage, is 4 mm. 

 The third rim is too fragmentary to be described meaningfully. It 

 is orange buff in color on its exterior surface, dark brown on the 

 interior. 



Body sherds. — ^A total of 15 body sherds was recovered. Five of 

 these are much thicker than the rest and have coarser cord marking. 

 They have been assigned to the Plains Woodland component of the 

 site. The remainder are of the Aksarben Complex. 



The five Woodland sherds are grit tempered, cord marked on the 

 outer surface, and smooth on the inner surface. They have buff 

 exteriors, with blue-gray interiors flecked with white specks. These 

 specks are probably the remains of small fossils present in the clay at 

 the time it was secured, although at first glance they might be taken 

 for tempering material. Thicknesses of the sherds vary between 8 

 and 9 mm. (pi. 58, t", s) . 



The Aksarben sherds are also grit tempered. In color they vary 

 from buff to black. They are cord marked on the outer surface, 

 smooth on the inner. Thicknesses range from 4 to 7 mm. (pi. 58, p,q). 



Projectile points. — Twenty- two projectile points sufficiently com- 

 plete for classification were recovered at the site, as well as twenty-five 

 unclassifiable fragments, such as tips or the section between the tip 

 and the shoulders. Those points that are classifiable fall into five 

 distinct styles. 



The first style, represented by six specimens, is a large, thick form 

 that has been assigned to the Archaic component of the site (pi. 58, 

 b-d). Shoulders are not pronounced and stems are contracting, 

 straight, or slightly convex at the base. The only complete specimen 

 is of tan chert. It is 50 mm. long, with a maximum width of 23 mm. 

 and a maximum thickness of 8 mm. Maximum widths of the other 

 points are 19, 18, 21, 30, and 29 mm., and maximum thicknesses range 

 between 7 and 9 mm. Materials are dark gray chert and tan chert. 



Points of the second style, represented by 10 specimens, have 

 straight stems and definite shoulders, sometimes terminating in 

 barbs (pi. 58, e, /). The three complete specimens measure 58, 55, 

 and 43 mm. in length. Maximum widths vary between 20 and 32
