POTTERY OF THE ANCIENT PUEBLOS. 



occur near the margin, through which the Zuflis have passed a buck- 

 skin thong. Another plain bowl is very much compressed vertically. 



Oblong bowls are not a prominent feature in Pueblo pottery. A few 

 examples were found at Saint George, Utah, but these are of the shal- 

 low variety. The only oblong bowl with incurved rim yet sent in is 

 shown in Fig. 313. It is six inches long and four inches wide. The

ornamentation consists of three lines of meanders, that upon the flat 

 upper surface being irregular and not continuous. 



In Fig. 314 we see another variation from the two usual forms of 

 bowls. This vessel is globular, and the aperture quite large. Two 

 small nodes attached to the sides and vertically perforated serve as 

 handles. The ornamentation consists of a number of disconnected and

greatly varied bands of meandered lines and figures, obliquely placed. 

 The ornamented surface is separated into two parts by vertical panels 

 at the handles. This affords a suggestion of an adventitious or me- 

 chanical origin for the vertical bands which are so prominent a feature 

 in modern Pueblo pottery. One of these is partially visible at the right 

 side in the cut.
