DECORATIVE TREATMENT: Rectilinear twisted cord-impressions on the exterior 
rim bevel, sometimes with a row of oval (finger-fingernail) or crescent 
(fingernail) stamps at the base of the bevel; fingernail impressions near 
the base of the bevel, and horizontal and diagonal cord-impressed lines 
on the shoulder ; twisted cord-impressions on the outer and inner surfaces 
of the lip, in herringbone pattern, and a band of twisted cord-impressions 
on the exterior surface of the rim; and twisted cord-impressions on the 
exteriorly beveled lip and a band of twisted cord-impressions on the upper 
part of the interior surface of the rim (see below). 
COMPONENT RIM TYPES: 
Pingree Cord Impressed. 
Pingree Dentate Stamped. 
Pingree Cord Impressed 
(Pl. 31, a—-c) 
(Type sample: 5 composite and 21 individual rim-and-lip sherds, representing 
17 vessels. ) 
ForM: 
Lip: Rounded ; 2 to 3 mm. in width. 
Rim: Low and fiared, exteriorly thickened and beveled (‘wedge shaped’’) 
just below the lip, about 22-23 mm. in height. The angle of the exterior 
bevel ranges from 34° to 56° from the vertical (90°). Wall, 6.75 to 13 
mm. in maximum thickness at the base of the bevel, 6.75 to 10 mm. in 
thickness below the bevel. 
DECORATIVE TREATMENT: Variable, as follows: Closely spaced parallel diagonal 
twisted cord-impressions on the exterior rim bevel, to the left, with 
a row of widely and irregularly spaced oval (finger-fingernail) stamps 
near the base of the bevel—five specimens (pl. 31, @); closely spaced 
paddled diagonal twisted cord-impressions on the exterior rim bevel, to 
the right, with a row of closely to widely spaced crescent (fingernail) 
stamps near the base of the bevel, and closely spaced diagonal cord-im- 
pressed lines, to the right, framed by a single cord-impressed horizontal 
line above, on the shoulder area—eight examples (pl. 31, 0); closely 
spaced diagonal cord-impressed lines in crisscross pattern on the rim 
bevel—six specimens (pl. 31, c) ; closely spaced parallel diagonal cord- 
impressed lines on the rim bevel and on the upper part of the interior rim 
surface, in herringbone pattern, and a band of closely spaced parallel 
horizontal cord-impressed lines on the exterior surface of the rim below 
the bevel—one example; closely spaced vertical or parallel diagonal (to 
right or left) cord-impressed lines on the rim bevel, and a band of three 
or four closely spaced parallel horizontal cord-impressed lines on the 
upper part of the interior rim surfaces—six examples. In 20 of the 26 
specimens, the impressions were made with a cord having a tight S-twist; 
in five of the examples, with cord having a tight Z-twist; and in the 
remaining specimens, with cord having tight S-twist (on the interior rim 
surface) and tight Z-twist (on exteriorly beveled rim surface).
