Figure 170, restoration of vessel No. 25. It was 24 inches across 
rim and 8 inches in depth. Wall was five-eighths of an inch thick 
at rim and tapered to three-eighths of an inch in thickness near the 
bottom. It had been made of a moderately good light red paste 
(pl. 106, f). It had a very thin coating of black spread over its 
exterior, The interior had been nicely polished, but not so well 
polished as No. 24. The exterior showed very distinct impressions 
of a woven fabric, 
which was of a 
coarser texture than 
that on the exterior 
of vessel No. 24. 
Woven fabrics were 
used to hold in 
shape, during the 
modeling process 
and while being 
handled, such large 
flat-bottom vessels 
as are shown in Figures 169, 170, and Plate 130, 6, while they were 
in the plastic stage. 
Plate 130, a, shows the fabric used in the modeling and handling 
of the vessel in Figure 170. 
Plate 130, b, restoration of vessel No. 31, 32 inches across rim, 
8 inches in depth. Walls were seven-eighths of an inch in thickness 
near rim and tapered to one-half inch near the bottom. The paste 
of this vessel was a light red. Its material is excellent and contains

a large amount of very finely powdered shell. Its interior is highly 
polished; its exterior shows impressions of a fine woven fabric. 
Fragments of another vessel, similar in size to that shown in Plate 
130, b, were found. It had a dark gray paste, covered with a thick 
coating of fine clay, yellowish salmon, somewhat similar to h, Plate 
106. The interior was finely polished; the exterior showed impres- 
sions of a fine woven fabric, similar to that of vessel No. 24 (Fig. 169). 
Figure 171, restoration of vessel No. 34, 30 inches across rim, 
11 inches in depth. The paste was dark gray. It contained about 
equal quantities of clay and finely powdered shell. Its exterior was
