the other wares at the site. Only one lip is less than 1' cm wide and 

 one is over 2 cm in width. 



Only two of the rim sherds on which the textile impression could 

 be identified had a type of weave differing from the simple twine 

 weaving with a widely spaced weft. Sherd No. 11 on Chart XXIX 

 had a number of different fabric impressions upon it, as though they 

 had been pressed upon the clay from several angles. The one clear 

 impression showed a closely spaced weft which wound about two warp 

 elements at a time — a variety of twilled twining, with a close weft. 

 The other fabric was also of the twilled-twining variety but had a 

 wide weft and the zigzag appearance of this type of weaving was 

 plainly visible. Of the 38 body sherds, 22 were of the simple twine 

 variety, 10 had twilled twining, and on 6 the type of fabric was not 

 discernible. The spacing of the warp and weft is much the same as 

 was found at Site No. 11. 



The estimated lip diameters for the following were: Sherds No. 

 1, 18 inches; No. 14, IT inches; No. 16, 17 inches. 



Bowls 



There were only nine rim sherds belonging to bowls. These sherds 

 were softer than external appearance would lead one to believe, as 

 only one of them was hole tempered, but seven out of the nine could 

 be scratched by gypsum. Three of the sherds have a fine texture 

 and the surface finish is smooth. Only on Sherd No. 1, Chart XXX, 

 was there any indication of previous tooling and this was so slight 

 that the sherd was classified on the basis of this character with the 

 other eight sherds. Four of the lips were rounded and five were 

 definitely flattened with rounded edges. Only three out of the small 

 group showed the discoloration resulting from smoke blackening. 

 Five of the exterior surfaces have a pinkish tinge; only one is dark 

 gray and the others are mottled tannish grays. There is no decora- 

 tion on the exterior surface of the lips of these bowls. The lip 

 and rim measurements are given in the chart. 



The estimated lip diameter for Sherd No. 1 is 4 inches; No. 2, 

 8.5 inches ; No. 6, 8 inches. See first two sherds on plate 150, a. 



Jar Rims 



The most common type of pottery found at this site is the jar. 

 A reconstruction of the sherd figured in the lower right-hand corner 

 of plate 32, ft, has been made by Mr. Frazer. It is shown in figure 20. 

 This drawing shows the slightly flaring, rather short rim that is 

 often present. As I visualize the shape of the vessel from the frag- 

 ments at hand, I believe that characteristically the jars at this site 

 had a relatively long sloping shoulder and a short, straight, or 

 slightly flaring rim. As I have interpreted the rim shape, slightly
