MEXICAN POTTERY FRAGMENTS

side surface is coated with a black glaze.

Another fragment of the same vessel from which the piece last described was 
taken, 34 mm. long. 8 mm. thick. 
MODERN CHINAWARE AND PORCELAIN 
The large number of modern chinaware and porcelain fragments 
taken were mostly from the excavations in the vicinity of the Burton 
adobe house, as might be expected. ‘These fragments also were 
studied by Mr. Calver, who found pieces dating as early as 1820 
and as recent as from the hotel. 
A chinaware pitcher bearing a “transfer” design is from 1850, 
more probably from 1840. The fragment bearing the trade name 
“Spode ” is old. Spode quit making pottery some sixty years ago. 
The piece marked “Japan” is from 1850. The piece with the 
“tapeworm ” design is from 1840. The “tapeworm” runs entirely 
around the vessel. The fragments with green leaves and red berries 
are quite early, from the twenty’s or thirty’s of the past century. 
The orange-colored fragments are probably American and not 
Mexican ware. 
GLASS BEADS 
A very satisfactory group of glass-bead material was taken in the 
excavations. It includes practically every kind of European bead 
that has been reported from the Channel region. 
One of the omnipresent types was the red bead with blackish 
inside lining. These were found in several sizes, the most frequent 
sizes being about 4 mm. diameter. 
A few translucent red globular beads were found.
