MoRRIS] RUINS ON THE MESAS 203 
The pottery from the mesas exhibits a wide range of form and 
surface treatment, but structurally it is inferior. Less than 42 per 
cent of it is decorated with painted designs, and true coil ware does 
not appear. The symbclism is unlike that on the pottery from the 
neighboring cliffs and shows less conventionalization. 
Stone implements are few, but such as have been found are of 
the same general types and exhibit as good workmanship as those of 
the cliff people. Of the work in bone, wood, and other perishable 
materials almost nothing is known.
