ware with incised decoration of the ribbon-fold design, had a rudely imitated head 
of an animal looking inward and a conventional tail at the opposite side of the 
bowl (Fig. 51). Vessel No. 7, a pot of coarse, black ware, had two loop-handles 
with two small knobs on each. In the general disturbance in this pit these pots 
presumably had been shifted from a position near the head of a skeleton.

Vessel No. 8, badly crushed, lay apart from human remains. Put together, it 
proved to be a beautiful jar of highly polished ware. The decoration is made up 
of scrolls, depressions, and incised encircling lines (Fig. 52). 
Vessel No. 9 (Fig. 53), with incised design, somewhat similar to others shown 
before, has, in addition; a representation of fingers projecting downward, as shown 
in diagram in Fig. 54. The cross and cross-hatch design are shown four times on 
this vessel, as are the downturned fingers. This vessel lay, unconnected with any 
burial, in a pit where there had been much aboriginal disturbance. 
Near the skull of a burial lay 
a pot, Vessel No. 10, of coarse, red- 
yellow ware, with four loop-han- 
dles (Fig. 55), and Vessel No. 11, 
a wide-mouthed water-bottle (Fig. 
56) bearing on each of two sides an 
incised design consisting of a cen- 
tral symbol, to which is attached, 
at each side, the triangular tail of 
the woodpecker, with its pointed, 
individual feathers, shown dia- 
erammatically in Fig. 57.
