a esol STUTSMAN FOCUS—WHEELER 203 
(with the cord having a Z-twist) occurs on the exterior rim surface below the 
brace. This suggests a Hintz variant of the type. 
Stanley Plain.—6 individual rim-and-lip sherds, representing 4 vessels (pl. 
33, i; Lehmer, 1951, p. 8, and 1954, pp. 45-46). Characteristics: Form—lip 
rounded, 4.25 and 6.5 mm. in thickness; rim flared, exterior thickened (or 
“braced”). Wall is 7.25 and 8.5 mm. in thickness at the brace, 6 mm. in thick- 
ness below the brace. Surface finish—exterior simple stamped and smoothed, 
or smoothed; interior smoothed. Decorative treatment—the rim brace and lip 
are undecorated, and in five cases the exterior rim surface is also undecorated. 
But in the sixth example present, there are bands of parallel horizontal cord- 
impressions (with the cord having an S-twist) on the exterior rim surface, below 
the brace, and on the upper part of the interior rim surface. The rim direction 
here suggests a Hintz variant of the type. 
Talking Crow Indented—8 individual rim-and-lip sherds, representing 8 
vessels (pl. 33, 7; C.S. Smith, 1951, p. 35). Characteristics: Form—lip flattened, 
7.5 to 10.5 mm. in width; rim straight and vertical or flared, 80 to about 70 mm. 
in height. Wall 6.25 to 7.75 mm. in thickness. Surface finish—exterior ver- 
tically scored or “brushed” (probably actually produced by a toothed implement 
or corneob), or vertically simple stamped and vertically and/or horizontally 
seored, interior horizontally scored or smoothed. Decorative treatment—con- 
fined to the lip, it consists of closely or widely spaced, large or small elliptical or 
truncated elliptical indentations on the lip, evidently made by a wooden or bone 
tool, or by the potter’s forefinger. In most cases the lip has been extruded ex- 
teriorly and/or interiorly, from compression of the plastic clay in the process 
of indentation. 
FRAGMENTARY RIM, NEAR-RIM, SHOULDER AND BODY SHERDS, AND APPENDAGES 
The 10,497 fragmentary rim, near-rim, shoulder and body sherds, and 13 
appendages, which are not identifiable or not identifiable with certainty as to 
type, but which doubtless belong to one or another of the types represented at 
Hintz because of similar general dimensions and shared attributes (paste, sur- 
face finish, decorative treatment) are briefly described below. 
FRAGMENTARY RIM, NEAR-RIM AND SHOULDER SHERDS: 1,595 specimens. 
Cord-Impressed.—678 specimens. The closely spaced rectilinear or curvilinear 
impressions made by cord with a generally tight twist correspond in all par- 
ticulars with those previously described under the several identified cord- 
impressed types. By inadvertence, the direction of twist was observed in only 
219 specimens (or in about one-third of the pieces in this group). In this 
sample, 165 specimens had an S-twist, 54 had a Z-twist. This approximate 
three-to-one proportion is higher than in the samples of Buchanan Cord In- 
pressed and Pingree Cord Impressed (about four to one) but lower than in the 
sample of Melville Cord Impressed (about two to one). 
Incised-Trailed —635 specimens. The rectilinear markings are usually 
shallow and V-shaped or U-shaped in cross section, averaging about 1.5 mm. 
in width and 0.5 mm. in depth. Occasionally, however, broad trail marks occur, 
3.75 to 5.5 mm. in width and 0.75 mm. in depth, as in the sample illustrated 
(pl. 34, 6). The trailing is comparable to that present on the shoulder and 
upper body of some sherds identified as Buchanan Incised-Trailed. 
Tool Impressed.—26 specimens. Transverse, longitudinal and diagonal im- 
pressions of various sizes and shapes occur on or near the lip in these examples, 
as in sherds identified as Buchanan Tool Impressed. 
Punctated.—14 specimens. Oval to elliptical punctations occur on the lip or 
on the upper part of the exterior rim surface (?), as in identifiable Buchanan 
Punctated sherds.
