Riv. Bas. Sour. 
Pap. No. 30] STUTSMAN FOCUS—WHEELER 933 
Lisbon Undecorated 
(Type sample: 88 rim sherds, representing 30 vessels, and 1 partially re- 
stored vessel.) 
SurFACE FINISH: Lips and rims are smoothed horizontally. The shoulder area, 
when present, is also smoothed. Irregularities in the exterior surfaces 
indicate that cord marking preceded smoothing. Horizontal striations 
often occur on the sherds as the result of smoothing. 
DECORATIVE TREATMENT: When present, consists of indentation, punctation, 
finger impression, and incision on the lip only. The following occurrences 
were noted: impression with a dowel applied to the exterior at a 45° angle, 
five specimens; impression with a dowel applied to the interior at a 45° 
angle, two examples; diagonal impressions with a dowel, nine examples ; 
transverse impressions with a large dowel, four specimens; vertical punc- 
tations, four specimens; finger impressions, five examples; horizontal 
incision, one specimen; incised X’s, one example; no decoration, two 
specimens. 
OWEGO FLARED RIM WARE 
Owego Tool Impressed 
(Pl. 36, a, 0) 
(Type sample: 4 rim sherds, representing 4 vessels, and 1 partially restored 
vessel. ) 
PASTE: Comparable to that of Lisbon Flared Rim ware. 
TECHNIQUE OF MANUFACTURE: Comparable to that of Lisbon Flared Rim ware. 
SurFrace FintsH: Lips are smoothed and rims are impressed with randomly 
applied check stamps. The stamps make a grid impression, and indi- 
vidual stamps are about 2.0 mm. square. The impressions are partially 
smoothed. The shoulder area of the partially restored vessel bears nearly 
obliterated check stamps under incised and punctated designs, and check 
stamps below the shoulder are also smoothed over (pl. 36, 6). 
Form : Comparable to that of Lisbon Flared Rim ware. 
DECORATIVE TREATMENT: Indentation, punctation, and incision. In two cases 
the lips bear transverse indentations made with a large dowel. Three 
specimens were indented by vertical pressure with the finger. The par- 
tially restored vessel bears closely spaced indentations made with a dowel 
applied at a 45° angle to the lip exterior. The shoulder area of this 
specimen is decorated with alternating bands of incisions and punctates, 
the latter having been applied vertically, at a 45° angle.
