the lip. One of the sherds classed with this group approaches the 

 beaker shape. The bowls are described on Chart XXIII and illus- 

 trated by Sherds Nos. 4 and 5 on plate 148, b. Sherd No. 1 has a 

 lip diameter of 6 inches; No. 2, 3 inches; and No. 9, 7 inches. 



Salt Pans 



I have described 30 sherds on Chart XXIV, but only 20 of them 

 are rim sherds. I included 10 body sherds so as to have a repre- 

 sentative series of measurements on the size and type of weave rep- 

 resented at this site on the salt pans. Over 50 percent of the sherds 

 had a hardness of 2-2.5, and the texture was predominantly medium 

 fine. The lip on the rim sherds was most commonly rounded. Two 

 of the lips, which are quite broad, have a central depression in 

 the center of the lip which parallels the lip edges as it encircles the 

 vessel. The only other site at which this is found is at Site No. 11. 

 Half of the lips were less than 1.5 cm wide and the other half were 

 above that figure. The lip and rim, or body thickness, is given on 

 the chart. 



Only two types of weave were found on these salt pans, the simple 

 twine weave with a clockwise twist accounting for 19 out of the 22 

 sherds on which the impression was clear enough to be discernible. 

 The other three sherds showed a variety of twilled twining in which 

 the weft is fairly large, closely spaced, and the warp is also closely 

 spaced. The warp threads have not been stretched from one weft 

 thread to the next, and the zigzag design is not apparent. The 

 width between five-warp and five-weft threads can be found on 

 Chart XXIV. Only four of the sherds are hole tempered. Three 

 lip diameters were estimated at 21 inches, 24 inches, and 25 inches. 



Miscellaneous 



There are three loop handles in the study collection, one of which 

 is oval and the other two are round. The raised rim, so common 

 at Site No. 11, is represented in the study collection by only four 

 fragmentary pieces, but figure 47 shows a reconstruction of a vessel 

 based on a large sherd from this site. One shell-tempered, smooth- 

 surfaced sherd has an impression of a carved paddle with a diamond- 

 shaped figure with 1 cm dimensions. 



Site No. 19. — Jar Kims 



The two largest groups of sherds at this site were the plain rims 

 belonging to vessels of the jar shape and rims of the same type of 

 vessel which carry lug handles. The plain rims number 34 and are 

 described in Chart XXV (pi. 150, b). Only three of these have a
