EARTHENWARE OF THE NEW YORK ABORIGINES 99 



on either side, are lines sloping toward the center, which is occu- 

 pied by four vertical Hnes, three of which are connected by cross 

 grooves, forming squares. 



Fig. 62 shows the edge of a projection, where the hexagonal 

 indentations are both large and deep. There are diagonal lines in 

 opposite directions. Found at Baldwinsville, but rather common 

 in various sizes. Fig. 63 is a fragment of bright red pottery from 

 Seneca county. It is ornamented with hollow squares in curved 

 lines. This is better than most there, it being usually quite coarse. 



Fig. 64 is a very bold and angular projection from Jefferson 

 county.- It has diagonal lines in opposite directions, with large 

 elliptic indentations at the base of the projection. Underneath this 

 the deep curve makes a sudden sweep outwards. Fig. 65 is a rim 

 with undulated edge, from Plattsburg. It has elaborate decora- 

 tions, mostly of lines of circular, elliptic and angular indentations. 

 Much pottery has been collected along the western shore of Lake 

 Champlain, on the sites of camps and small hamlets, by Dr Kellogg, 

 who has also restored many vessels. Fig. 66 is also from Platts- 

 burg, and has a series of diagonal grooves arranged in horizontal 

 groups. These grooves have each three indentations slightly 

 divided. ^ 



Fig. 6y is a rim from Jefferson county^ with grooves in various 

 directions. There are large elliptic indentations below the projec- 

 tion. The striking peculiarity^ however, is the central square, two 

 angles of which are above and below. Within this are three elliptic 

 indentations, arranged as though for eyes and mouth. These are 

 more common in that county than elsewhere, and may be the pot- 

 tery found along the St Lawrence with a rude resemblance to a 

 human face, of which Mr Hough speaks. This came from Water- 

 town. Fig. 68 is another similar rim from Jefferson county. It 

 has a row of elliptic indentations below the top^ and another below 

 the projection. The grooves are much like the last, but in one 

 space are three large elliptic indentations, one above another. The 

 face, if it may be so called, is inclosed by five lines, and the indenta- 

 tion for the mouth is circular.
