Too few specimens were found to make an Appendix table; instead 
they are listed below by site: 
Site H-2: Erefoimo.—From inside the house: 130 sherds of Erefoimo Plain, 
1 felsite core, 1 glass mirror fragment. From Area A: 45 sherds of 
Erefoimo Plain that appear to represent 4 vessels. From Area B: 228 
sherds of Erefoimo Plain, 14 sherds of Erefoimo Incised, and 65 sherds of 
Erefoimo Painted, with 2 unclassified decorated sherds. 
Site H-11: Kukwa Mututo.—5 Erefoimo Plain sherds, 1 green bottle glass 
fragment, and 4 rock fragments. 
SToNE ARTIFACT TYPES 
Stone remains are restricted to cores and flakes of felsite, the ma- 
terial used for the manufacture of cassava-grater teeth, and irregular 
hunks of fire-burnt granite, representing rocks used for supporting 
vessels on the hearth. 
Portery TYPE DESCRIPTIONS 
The description of Wai Wai pottery types is based on the analysis 
of 489 sherds from E-2 and E-11, as well as sherds and vessels from 
functioning villages. The pottery is exclusively utilitarian and pre- 
dominantly undecorated. The pottery types have been named ac- 
cording to the binomial system and are described in alphabetical 
order. 
EREFOIMO INCISED 
PASTE AND SURFACE: On Erefoimo Plain, with no effort to produce a more even 
surface as a basis for decoration. See Erefoimo Plain for detailed description. 
Worm : 
Rim: Everted and exteriorly thickened, tapering to flattened lip. 
Body wall thickness: 7-13 mm. 
Base: None identified; undoubtedly same as Erefoimo Plain. 
Vessel shapes: 1. All sherds seem to represent vessels of Erefoimo Plain 
Form 1: an open jar with a flat bottom, rounded shoulders, slightly con- 
stricted collar or neck, and everted rim. The single rim sherd of Erefoimo 
Incised has a diameter of 60 em. Decoration is confined to the exterior 
of the collar or neck. 
DECORATION (fig. 102) : 
Technique: The few sherds of Erefoimo Incised in the sample show no 
consistency of technique. Surface varied from dry to wet, when worked, 
judging from the fact that incisions are sharp in one case and partially 
obliterated in another. The incision itself was made with a stick, either 
sharp producing a V-shaped mark, or blunt producing a rounded one. 
The lines tend to be wavy rather than straight, unequally spaced, not 
perfectly parallel, and overshot or undershot at intersections. Incisions 
are 0.5 mm. wide and 0.5 mm. or less in depth. 
Motif: Rectangular or triangular panels filled with large, diagonal cross- 
hatch. : 
TEMPORAL DIFFERENCES WITHIN THE TYPE: None. 
CHRONOLOGICAL POSITION OF THE TYPE: Found only at E-2: Erefoimo. Not being 
made in 1952.
