ARCHAEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF NORRIS BASIN

No. 17 did not have many bowl shapes. Hole tempering was rare 

 at Sites Nos. 11, 10, and 5, was absent at 19, and quite common at 9. 

 Partially because of this the bowls at Site No. 19 were the hardest 

 of any of the sites. The only site at which the tempering was fine 

 to any noticeable degree was at Site No. 5. In connection with the 

 prevalence of cord- wrapped paddling at Site No. 11 we find that 

 the bowls in an appreciable number of cases have traces of this type 

 of surface finishing appearing as the result of imperfect smoothing. 

 The same condition is true, but to a less degree, at Sites Nos. 10 and 

 19. Decoration was most common at Sites Nos. 11 and 19, where 

 the majority of bowls were found. The incising consisted of widely 

 spaced, parallel, predominantly horizontal lines extending but a 

 short distance below the lip. The notched or beaded rim strip and 

 the horizontal rim lug occur at both sites on bowls. The latter trait 

 is more common at Site No. 19. Some of the vessels of this shape 

 at Site No. 11 have the rim or nodes or bosses about the rim as on 

 one of the jar shapes. This feature is present to a noticeable degree 

 at Site No. 10 and occurs rarely at Site No. 9. Site No. 19 is also 

 distinguishable from the other sites grouped in this chart because 

 of the large percentage of lips that are flattened and rounded. Sites 

 Nos. 10 and 11 are similar in their relative high frequency of lips 

 that are narrowed and rounded. This trait is rare at the other 

 sites.
