third of the cases interrupted by nested triangles or ares of cord-impressed 
lines (‘‘rainbow” motif), with a row of closely spaced parallel diagonal 
cord-impressions on the lip or outer edge of the lip, to the right or left— 
16 specimens (pl. 32, d) ; a band of closely spaced horizontal cord-impressed 
lines, with a single encircling cord-impressed line on the lip and a row of 
closely spaced parallel diagonal cord-impressed lines on the outer edge of 
the lip, to the right—one example; a band of closely spaced cord-impressed 
lines, with a row of closely spaced parallel diagonal narrow trailed lines 
on the lip—two specimens; a band of closely spaced horizontal cord-im- 
pressed lines, in one case interrupted by nested triangles of cord-impressed 
lines, with a row of oval tool-impressions on the lip—three examples; a 
band of closely spaced parallel diagonal cord-impressed lines, to the right, 
framed above and below (?) by a single horizontal cord-impressed line, 
with a row of oval tool-impressions on the lip—two specimens; and a band 
of closely spaced parallel diagonal cord-impressed lines, to the right, 
framed above and below by a horizontal cord-impressed line, with a row 
of tool-impressions at the juncture of the inner lip and rim—one example. 
On the interior rim surface, lip decorated—a band of closely spaced hori- 
zontal cord-impressed lines on the interior rim surface, with a row of 
closely spaced vertical cord-impressed lines on the outer edge of the lip— 
two examples. In 152 of the 226 specimens, the impressions were made 
with cord having a tight to rather loose S-twist. In the remaining 74 
specimens, the impressions were made with cord having a tight Z-twist. 
Meiville Wrapped-Stick Impressed 
(Pl. 32, f, 9) 
(Type sample: 1 composite and 15 individual rim-and-lip sherds, representing 
TorM: 
18 vessels. ) 
Lip: Rounded, pointed, or interiorly beveled. 
Rim: Recurved or S-shaped, with the upper part of the rim rarely rolled 
outwardly (pl. 82, f). 
DECORATIVE TREATMENT: Confined to the upper part of the exterior rim, exterior 
rim and lip, or the lip only, decoration includes the following. On ex- 
terior rim, lip undecorated—a band of closely spaced wrapped-stick 
impressed lines, occasionally interrupted by nested arcs of wrapped-stick 
impressed lines (“rainbow” motif)—nine specimens (pl. 82, f) ; and a band 
of closely spaced parallel diagonal wrapped-stick impressed lines, to the 
left or right, framed above and below (?) by a horizontal wrapped-stick 
impressed line—three examples. On the exterior rim, lip decorated—a 
band of closely spaced horizontal wrapped-stick impressed lines, with a 
row of closely spaced oval tool-impressions on the outer and inner edges 
of the lip—one example (pl. 82, g) ; and a band of closely spaced parallel 
diagonal wrapped-stick impressed lines, to the right, with a row of 
closely spaced parallel diagonal wrapped-stick impressed lines, to the left, 
on the interiorly beveled lip—one specimen. Lip decorated only—a row 
of closely spaced parallel diagonal wrapped-stick impressed lines, to the 
right, on the outer surface of the lip—one example; and a row of closely 
spaced parallel diagonal wrapped-stick impressed lines, to the left, on 
the interiorly beveled lip.
