Vessel G was adjacent tc the north side of the lid of Jar A, and 
had been badly broken by the rocks covering it. It was reconstructed 
as Kanuku Plain Form 5c. Height is 13 cm.; rim diameter 25 cm. 
Jar H (pl. 64, a) and its lid (pl. 64, 6) were both Kanuku Plain 
Form 2 a, the lid being slightly larger so that its mouth fit over that 
of the jar. Both were ornamented with two pairs of conical nubbins 
attached to opposite sides of the wall at a point approximately cor- 
responding to the maximum diameter, which is 5 cm. below the rim 
on the jar and 7 cm. below on the lid. The jar is not circular and the 
bottom is flattened at a slight angle so that the height is 27.5 to 30.5 
em. and mouth diameter 45 to 47 cm. Rim thickness is 8 to 10 mm. 
The lid, also somewhat asymmetrical, is 36 cm. in height and 53 cm. 
in mouth diameter. Wall thickness ranges between 1.3 and 1.5 cm. 
All specimens from R-34 are in the collections of the Division of 
Archeology, U.S. National Museum, Washington, D.C. 
R-34: BEI-TAU, SHELTER 2 
Just north of Shelter 1 is a granite outcrop resembling a mammoth 
boulder, projecting from the hillside to form a sheltered area 4 meters 
deep and 25 meters long facing toward the west (fig. 109). The 
upper edge of the overhang is 15 meters above the floor level. The 
north half of the floor is a steep slope covered with large rocks, which 
also cover a small area at the south end. The central part is more 
level and less rocky. A single small bowl of Rupununi Plain Form 
3 ¢ lay between the rocks near the lower edge of the north talus slope, 
60 cm. out from the rear wall. No other vessels or sherds could be 
found ; if any existed they have been crushed and buried beneath the 
rocks spalled from the roof. Dimensions of the bowl are: height 
11 to 12 cm.; rim diameter 24 cm.; base diameter 6 cm.; thickness of 
the flattened lip 2 to 3 mm. 
R-35 : TAMRIO-WAU 
About 2 km. south of R-34, in a small clump of trees on a rocky 
elevation surrounded by savanna, is another rock shelter with mul- 
tiple burial vessels (fig. 109). The shelter is formed by a large 
granite boulder with an outslanting front affording protection to 
an area 1.5 meters out from the base and 4 meters long. The 
opening faces northeast toward the edge of the savanna only 6 meters 
away. The vegetation was dense and full of vines, so that the 
burial area was not visible from the adjacent savanna. At the time 
of our visit, two small trees were growing on the floor of the shelter. 
Four large vessels were clustered near the center, with three small 
bowls wedged between them or placed nearby (fig. 118, pl. 57, 0). 
Three of the large vessels turned out to be inverted lids covering
