Jar A and its lid are both Kanuku Plain. The jar, Form 2 a, 
is complete except for the bottom. It is not perfectly circular, so 
that the diameter varies. Height is 33 cm.; rim diameter 43 to 48 
cm.; maximum diameter 49 to 54 cm.; base diameter 25 to 28 cm. 
Pairs of rounded applique nubbins are attached at four places around 
the exterior 5 cm. below the rim. These nubbins are 2.5 to 3.0 cm. 
in diameter, 1.5 to 1.7 cm. in height and 4.5 to 5.5 cm. apart. The lid 
is part of a much larger vessel, the upper part of which is missing. 
The present rim is a cleanly broken coil line. The diameter is 60 to 
64 cm. and the wall thickness 1.3to1.8cm. Existing height is 30 cm. 
and the diameter of the flattened base is 29 cm. The existing portion 
has outstanding walls, which are characteristic of vessels of Forms 2 
and 3 of Kanuku Plain. 
Bowl B, Kanuku Plain Form 3 c, was buried to the depth of the 
shoulder. Its center was 95 cm. south of that of Jar A. Complete 
and in an upright position, it was partly filled with dry, granular soil. 
Height is 10.8 to 12.3 cm., mouth diameter 22.6 to 23.1 cm., base 
diameter 8 cm. The wall thickness expands from 2 to 3 mm. at the 
flattened lip to 8 mm. at the upper wall. 
Vessel C, adjacent to Vessel B on the south side so that the walls 
were touching, was also upright and partly filled with dry dirt. It 
is Rupununi Plain Form 5c. Height is 9.3 to 10.8 cm.; rim diameter 
18.2 to 18.5 cm., and diameter at the slightly flattened base approxi- 
mately 7 cm. The rim narrows from 6 mm. at a distance of 3 cm. 
below the lip to 1.5 to 2.0 mm. at the edge of the flattened lip. 
Vessel D lay inverted with its center 18 cm. southeast of that of 
Vessel C. It is a complete specimen of Rupununi Plain (?), repre- 
senting a variant of Form 5 ¢ in which the shoulder is slightly angular 
rather than rounded. Height is 11.2 to 12.6 cm.; rim diameter is 20.6 
to 21.0 cm. and base diameter 10 cm. The wall thickness decreases 
from 6 mm. at a distance of 3 cm. below the lip to 2 mm. at the edge 
of the flattened lip. Symmetry is poor and the base is flattened at 
an angle so that the rim is not level. 
Vessel E was upright, its center 22 cm. southwest of Vessel C. It 
also was filled with dirt. It is classified as Rupununi Plain Form 
1 b, with a flattened bottom slightly thickened at the center on the 
interior. Height is 4.0 to 4.5 cm.; rim diameter is 15.7 to 16.2 cm. 
and base diameter 7.0 to 7.5 cm. Wall thickness declines from 5 mm. 
at a distance of 2 cm. below the rim to 2 to 3 mm. at the rounded to 
flattened lip. 
Vessel F, upside down and nearly buried, had the exposed bottom 
broken out. Its center was 56 cm. west of the center of Vessel B. 
The pottery type is Rupununi Plain Form 2c. The base is flattened 
at an angle so that height is 8.7 to 9.5 cm, Mouth diameter is 19.0 
to 19.5 cm. and base diameter 8.5 to 9.0 cm.
