the rim shape could not be determined. There is an outer rim strip 

 on 11 of the sherds and the size of this strip is given on the chart. 



The lip is most commonly rounded or narrowed and rounded. 

 The practically horizontal upper rim surface varies in width accord- 

 ing to the size of the vessel, but averages between 1.5 cm and 2 cm. 

 Only one of these sherds is hole tempered. The color range is simi- 

 lar to the first and larger group of jar rims. 



The estimated diameter was taken on the interior of the sherd 

 at the point where the rim curves outward. The measurements on 

 sherds were: No. 1, 14 inches; No. 2, 10.5 inches; No. 5, 11.5 inches; 

 No. 6, 8 inches; No. 7, 9 inches; and No. 17, 3.5 inches. 



Sherds With Lugs 



Of the 20 sherds listed on Chart XXII, 17 have horizontal rims 

 or rim-lip lugs. The last three are sherds having the type of rim 

 nodes or bosses that are much more common at Site No. 11. See 

 Sherds Nos. 6 and 7 on plate 148, b. Half of the sherds could be 

 scratched with gypsum, and of the rest only one was harder than 

 the fingernail and required cryolite to scratch the surface. Two of 

 the sherds were medium in texture and the remainder were medium 

 fine. The surfaces of 16 were smooth and on the other four the 

 cord- wrapped paddle impression had been partially obliterated. The 

 lip was missing from four of the sherds, four are narrowed and 

 rounded, four are flattened and rounded, and six are rounded. Five 

 of the interior and five of the exterior surfaces showed smoke dis- 

 coloration. The most common color is grayish tan. Five of the 

 sherds have an added outer rim strip that corresponds in appear- 

 ance and size to that on similar jar rims at Site No. 11. 



The lateral extent of the lug, the perpendicular measurement, and 

 the width were taken. Almost all of the lugs were between 3 cm 

 and 6 cm in length; 85 percent were between 1 and 2 cm in their 

 vertical dimension; and three-fourths of them were between 2 cm 

 and 3 cm in width. There is not the variability in length that is 

 present at Site No. 11 and the lugs do not reach the size of some of 

 those at the latter site, but this may be due to the limited number 

 of sherds obtained from Site No. 10. The general appearance of 

 this type of jar from the two sites is quite similar. 



Bowls 



There were only nine sherds that could be classed as bowls and 

 there are few diagnostic features helpful in cultural correlations 

 present in the group. They are a trifle harder than any of the 

 other pottery types at this site. The texture is medium fine and 

 both surfaces are smoothed. The lip is most commonly rounded. 

 Two of the sherds have small rim nodes which are coterminous with
