f. Very light yellow or brown Avare. The designs are similar to 

 those of class e, but they are not as deeply incised, and the back- 

 ground is A^ery seldom cut away (Boas Album, pi. 58, 2). 



g. Thin orange ware with incised and punctate designs. This 

 type is A'ery uncommon here. The Archaic punctate, a heavy-rimmed 



pottery with lines of 

 holes made by the end 

 of a stick or incisions 

 made by a stick, so 

 common on the hills to 

 the north of the valley, 

 is not represented at 

 this site (Boas Album, 

 pi. 37, 1-T). 



h. Incised lines fol- 

 lowing very roughly the painted design (Boas Album, pi. 63, 14). 

 The design is in red and is very badly drawn. The incised lines 

 follow to some extent the outlines of the painted design. This type 

 is uncommon here, but it is found at Teotihuacan. I am inclined to 

 place this in the Toltec culture. There is some (][uestion, however, 

 whether it does not belong to the Archaic horizon." A few pieces 

 found at Zacatenco would strengthen this latter view. There is also 

 an Aztec type of red polished ware Avith black design showing incised 

 lines following the design (p. 53). 



i. Culhuacan gray. A dull gray Avare Avith a design of lines in- 

 cised over the upper part of the l)owl (fig. 6, and Boas Album, pi. 

 32 ) . This is a very com- 

 mon type at Culhuacan. 

 Type III^ C unci - 

 form. — The marking 

 covers the Avhole pot 

 and is made Avith a flat 

 or i:)ointed stick in the 

 soft clay (Boas Album, 

 pi. 59, 14). This type 

 is very uncommon here. 

 It probably belongs to 

 the Archaic culture. In some cases the marking seems to have been 

 made by a comb. There is an allied type wdiere the marking is found 

 only on the bottom of the inside of flat dishes (Boas Album, pi. 38, 3). 

 This is clearly Archaic. 



Tyjje IT., Textile marked. — This type (fig. 7) is found only in 

 small shards. The shapes of the pieces could not be determined. The
