example which has a lateral width of 2.7 cm and a front-to-back 

 measurement of 1.4 cm. Three of the loop handles have projections 

 above the lip and on the other handles the lip section is not visible. 

 Plate 103, a, has two loop handles pictured that are representative of 

 the type in the Ceramic Kepository. There are ten rim sections in 

 the study collection that have the broken portions of loop handles, but 

 no accurate idea as to the actual shape or size of the handle can be 

 obtained. One rim and shoulder section has the lower part of ^a strap 

 handle which measured 5 cm still attached to the lower rim. The 

 only lug-type handle found at this site occurs on a vessel with a 

 slightly incurving rim. The vertical height of this lug at its juncture 

 with the rim is 1.4 cm, the length is more than 6 cm, and its outward 

 projection from the exterior surface is 1.8 cm. The sherd itself has a 

 thickness of 0.8 cm. The lug is located a trifle over 1 cm below the 

 lip. The two short perpendicular lugs set flush with the lip, that are 

 figured in the second row of plate 103, a, also must be considered as 

 atypical of the usual type of handle at this site. None of the handles, 

 or the sherds having a place for handle attachment, have limestone- 

 temper or the slightly abrasive feel on the surface. 



Salt Pans 



Only 14 sherds were available for a detailed statement of the type 

 of salt pan at this site. Although only a few of the sherds were 

 hole tempered, the number with sufficiently clear impressions to deter- 

 mine the type of textile applied to their surface was disappointingly 

 small. All of those sherds listed on Chart XXXIX, upon which the 

 type of weave could be determined, had been impressed with a fabric 

 of plain twining. The sherd in the upper left-hand corner of plate 

 103, a, is a good illustration of the wide warp described for Sherd 

 No. 12 on the chart. Sherd No. 14 is almost a duplicate in type to 

 the sherd in the same figure which is just to the right of the smallest 

 loop -handle rim sherd that is illustrated. There is only one example 

 of twilled twining present, and that sherd is small and has no rim. 

 The salt pans are quite soft, have a medium fine texture, and the lip 

 shape is about equally rounded or flattened and rounded. In the 

 majority of the cases the fabric impression is carried up to the lip 

 and the lip is not conspicuously wider than the! rim portion directly 

 under it. 



Miscellaneous 



There are seven sherds in the study collection, and the one to the 

 right of the piece with the perpendicular lug handles in plate 103, #, 

 bearing the impression of a simple twine or plaited fabric with a 

 wide warp which is obscured by the closely woven weft. On one of
