collar exteriors are unslipped) and the lip and collar interior. Appendages are 

 rare. Diameters range from small (10-14 cm.) to large (28 cm.). Occasionally 

 two opposed horizontally placed loop handles are present on the shoulders as in 

 Find 8-5, Find 346-7, and in a few other cases. One of the many small collared 

 jars of Find 377 had loop handles modeled to give a ropelike appearance. 



Class "b"; unmodified lip and ring base (fig. 52, j). Of the six complete 

 vessels of this class noted from the collection, four have no associations with 

 polychrome styles. The fifth. Find 30-6, was globular in shape (diameter 19.5 

 cm.), had a broad and somewhat flattened lip, and was red-slipped over the entire 

 exterior surface. In this case, the polychrome associations were El Hatillo 

 Polychrome, El Hatillo variety. No appendages are noted for this class. The 

 sixth, Find 1-a, had a high shoulder and was associated with fragments of an 

 Achote variety vessel. The ring base distinguishes this class from class "a." 



Class "c"; obliquely flattened lip and unmodified base (fig. 52, k). These 

 vessels, finely made with graceful collars, are subglobular and often slightly 

 pear shaped. The collar interior and entire exterior of the vessel, except for 

 the base, is covered with a red to red-orange slip. Although fairly well repre- 

 sented in the sherd lots, only one complete vessel (Find 356; diameter 22 cm.) 

 was recovered. No examples with appendages were found. 



Class "d"; high flaring collar. This class, with its high and wide flared taU 

 collar and vertically flattened lip similar to the "atlas" collars of the Ortiga 

 variety (fig. 17, e), is known only by collar sherds. It may well be that these 

 Red-buff collars actually were part of polychrome vessels. 



Class "e"; large collared urns. These vessels, all from Mound II and at least 

 seven in number, are large, thick, globular to subglobular collared jars with 

 either vertical or horizontal loop handles, usually four in number, placed equi- 

 distantly around the shoulders (fig. 53, a). Bases are rounded. Dimensions 

 range as follows: thickness, 8-20 mm.; maximum diameter, 50-60 cm.; height, 

 55-57 cm.; diameter of collar lip, 24-28 cm. The collars are short and generally 

 curved outward slightly, although in some cases they are almost straight. Lips, 

 collar interiors, and vessel walls below the handles are red slipped with a thin 

 wash which comes off easily in water. Collar exteriors, handles, and upper 

 shoulders are unslipped in most cases; in one case a buff-cream slip was applied 

 to this area. The line of demarcation between red-slipped and unslipped areas 

 may be horizontal or may undulate up between handles and then dip below them. 

 All of these vessels were from Finds 10, 15, 16, 14, and 18 and are thus associated 

 with El Hatillo Polychrome, Jobo variety. 



Miscellaneous collared jars: A few collar sherds with small spouts extending 

 vertically upward from the shoulder to a few centimeters above the collar lip 

 and attached to it were recovered (fig. 53, e). Although similar in conception 

 to the Cocl6 spouted jars, their execution is different in that the collars are short 

 with rounded lips (rather than relatively tall), straight, and bear flattened or 

 slightly grooved lips as at Sitio Conte. 



An atypical collared urn. Find 10, OUa 4, should also be mentioned. The 

 shape was sUmmer than that of the "e" urns (diameter 42 cm.; height 56 cm.), 

 the base was pointed, and the vessel was unslipped with a somewhat coarse 

 finish. Four double loop handles (fig. 53, c) were placed vertically and equi- 

 distantly around the shoulders. 



(c) Reverse flare and median flange collar. — A few collar sherds and one 

 complete vessel (Find 379-1), in which the collar is turned in similar to some of 

 the face collars of the Ortiga variety, were recovered (fig. 27, a, b). Find 379-1, 

 a miniature vessel 6.2 cm. in diameter, was decorated on the rim with incised 

 and punctated nodes, presumably representing the eyes and beak of a bird, and
