number of sherds of each kind and their chronological position. All 
but one of the sherds are from the earliest site, and the levels have been 
arranged in the order indicated by the Abary Phase pottery type seri- 
ation (fig. 77). This tabulation shows several interesting features. 
Only one of the Mabaruma Phase plain pottery types could be iden- 
tified, the distinctive steatite-tempered Hotokwai Plain. All four 
Mabaruma Phase types of decoration are represented, but subdivision 
into trade sherds (on Mabaruma Phase varieties of paste) and locally 
made copies (on Abary Phase varieties of paste) shows that the pro- 
portion of the two is different for each type. The chronological dis- 
tribution of the sherds, whether plain or decorated, is too sporadic 
to allow any inference about changes in popularity during the time 
period represented.
