exteriors and appears to have been made with some sort of fiber or grass brush. 

 It is fine to coarse and generally applied in a horizontal direction, although occa- 

 sional diagonal brushings are found. Scoring or brushing of this sort has been 

 noted for the Red Line type, especially the Red Daubed variety as represented at 

 He-1 and He-2, and was often associated on individual sherds with red smeared 

 paint similar in appearance to that of the Red Daubed variety (pi. 14, i). 



6. Punctation. The few sherds with plain punctation include only one rim 

 sherd, probably from a collared jar, thus little can be said about vessel forms 

 associated with this decoration. The punctations occur on bufli-colored sherds, 

 are very deep, in some cases extending through the body wall; and are dotlike 

 in shape with diameters of 2-3 mm. They are arranged in vertical rows about 

 2 cms. apart (pi. 14, c). 



7. Reed punctation. In addition to occurring on the lips of bowls and jars in 

 combination with lip grooving, reed punctation also occurs on the exterior of 

 collared jar sherds. In these cases the punctations are arranged in a field or zone 

 below deep groove incision. Rim sherds in this instance often have red bands on 

 the lips (pi. 14, g, m). 



8. Fingernail punctation. The one sherd with this type of decoration is part 

 of the rim of a bowl or jar with incurving sides. The sherd is red slipped. About 

 2 cms. below the lip on the vessel exterior are two parallel rows, horizontally 

 placed, of what appear to be fingernail punctations (pi. 14, e). 



9. Slash punctation. Two of the sherds decorated in this manner are tall 

 collar sherds ; other information on form is lacking. The punctations are elongated 

 jabs or slashes, generally arranged in vertical rows below the lip (pi. 14, a). 



10. Linear punctation. One red-sHpped rim sherd with a horizontally flattened 

 lip had rows of semicontinuous shallow punctations arranged diagonally across 

 the lip. They give the appearance of having been executed with a toothed 

 implement (pi. 14, I). 



11. Shell edge stamping. Fifteen sherds are recorded with this form of decora- 

 tion including two recognizable shapes: a pedestal base, and a jar form with a 

 short outcurving collar. Some of the sherds are red slipped. On the pedestal, 

 the shell edge stamping is arranged in three vertical bands of two rows each (each 

 impression is also oriented vertically), the bands separated by scored panels. A 

 collar sherd shows horizontal rows of vertically placed shell edge impressions; 

 others are stamped on the shoulder, again in horizontal rows. Shell edge stamping 

 also occurred on the exterior of a medium-sized red-banded open bowl (pi. 14, h) . 



12. Applique ridge. One small buff sherd with a short applique ridge about 

 6 mm. high and 6 mm. wide was recovered (pi. 14, k). 



13. Applique ridge with notching. At least four sherds with notched applique 

 ridges, generally 6 mm. wide by 2 mm. high, were recovered. All were buff ware 

 and one showed traces of red paint. The ridges are generally applied in parallel 

 and are transversely gashed at closely spaced intervals (pi. 14, h). These gashes 

 or notches are sometimes quite open and jagged. Dot punctation was combined 

 with the ridges on one sherd. 



14. Pinching. Five sherds were found with raised clay triangular or cuneiform 

 shapes applied in rows. These appear sometimes as though the potter had pinched 

 the wet clay of the vessel wall between two fingers and at other times as though 

 narrow pellets of clay had been applied to the surface and pulled out into elongated 

 nail shapes. This technique was found on rim sherds of incurving bowls with 

 red banded lips, and on pedestal or tall collar sherds (pi. 14, n), 



15. Fluting. Vertical fluting was found on sherds from shallow bowls with 

 incurved rims, all of which were well weathered. One of these had definite traces of 

 a red Up band on a light buff paste. Others were light buff to brown with evidences
