Another restored vessel, 5 inches in depth and 4 inches in diameter 
at the rim, is shown in Figure 136. Both its exterior and interior 
were black (pl. 106, 2). 
Fragments of several vessels similar in shape to that in Figure 137 
were found. Three of these were 10 inches in diameter at the rim 
and 10 inches in depth. The exteriors of all three were light red 
(pl. 106, f); their interiors were Indian red (pl. 106, e).

Another vessel, similar in shape to that in Figure 137, was 7 inches 
in diameter at the rim and 7 inches in depth. Both its exterior and 
interior were yellowish gray (pl. 106, q). 
A similar vessel was 12 inches in diameter at rim and 12 inches 
deep. Both its exterior and interior were dark gray (pl. 106, a). 
Another vessel of fine, 
hard-burned, polished 
ware, similar to that shown

5 inches in diameter at the 
rim. Exterior and interior 
were Indian red (pl. 106, e), 
with large splotches of

interior light gray (pl. 106, b). Two were 8 inches in diameter, exte- 
rior and interior Indian red (pl. 106, e). Another was 8 inches in 
diameter; and two others, similar in shape, were 10 inches in diameter. 
The paste of these three bowls was a dark gray. This had been
