Buchanan Incised-Trailed 
(P1. 30, e, f) 
(Type sample: 5 composite and 37 individual rim-and-lip sherds, 1 individual 
shoulder sherd, representing 41 or 42 vessels. ) 
Form: 
Lip: Rounded, usually level but occasionally undulating, sometimes beveled 
exteriorly or interiorly, sometimes extruded exteriorly and/or interiorly; 
4.5 to 8 mm. in width. 
Rim: Straight and flared, 12.5 to 29.5 mm. in height. Wall, 5.5 to 7.5 mm. 
in thickness. 
DECORATIVE TREATMENT: In most cases, decoration is confined to the lip or to the 
inner lip and upper part of the interior surface of the rim, and it consists 
of closely spaced incisions or narrow trailed lines in herringbone pattern 
on the lip—11 specimens (pl. 30, f) ; closely spaced short parallel incisions 
or narrow trailed lines on the outer lip, directed to the left—11 specimens 
(pl. 30, e) ; closely spaced parallel transverse incisions or narrow trailed 
lines on the lip, directed to the right or to the left—10 examples; and 
irregularly spaced, parallel incisions or narrow trailed lines on the inner 
lip and upper part of the interior rim surface, directed vertically, or to 
the left or right—10 specimens. In addition, the shoulder area of some 
specimens, at least, bears alternating plats of closely or widely spaced 
horizontal and vertical broad trailed lines, 3 to 4.5 mm. in width and up to 
1 mm. in depth (pl. 30, e). 
Buchanan Cord Impressed 
(PI. 30, b) 
(Type sample: 1 composite and 36 individual rim-and-lip sherds, representing 
34 vessels. ) 
Form: 
Lip: Usually rounded, or flattened, occasionally beveled exteriorly, some- 
times markedly extruded exteriorly or exteriorly-interiorly to form an 
inverted L-shaped or T-shaped lip, sometimes only slightly extruded in- 
teriorly and exteriorly ; 5.5 to 15 mm. in width. 
Rim: Straight and flared, about 9 to about 26 mm. in height. Wall, 4.75 to 
8.5 mm. in thickness. 
DECORATIVE TREATMENT: Usually, decoration is restricted to the lip or the upper 
part of the interior surface of the rim, and it consists of closely spaced 
parallel, transverse cord-impressed lines on the lip, directed to the left— 
11 specimens (pl. 30, 0); closely spaced parallel, transverse cord- 
impressed lines on the lip, directed to the right, and a row of short 
incisions on the outer lip, directed to the left—one example; an encircling 
band of two parallel cord-impressed lines on the lip—nine specimens; an 
encircling band of three parallel cord-impressed lines on the lip and a 
row of widely spaced short cord-impressed lines on the outer lip, directed 
to the left—one specimen; closely spaced cord-impressed lines in herring- 
bone pattern on the lip—one example; a row of closely to rather widely 
spaced cord-impressed lines on the outer lip, directed to the left—13 
specimens; and an encircling band of four closely spaced cord-impressed 
lines on the upper part of the interior rim surface—one example. In 4 
of the 37 sherds in the present sample, the exterior surface of the rim
