A glance at the chart describing those sherds possessing loop or 

 strap handles will bring clearly to mind some of the easily identifi- 

 able differences in the pottery complexes at the six sites. There are 

 a few loop handles at Site No. 17 which in the recognizable cases 

 projected above the lip. Loop handles are quite rare at Site No. 19. 

 Three specimens occur at Site No. 10 and while fairly common at 

 Site No. 11 are attached to the lip and almost never have a portion 

 projecting above the lip. They are rarely decorated at this site and 

 are usually round in cross section. At Site No. 9 the loop handle 

 received an exuberant development. They are round or oval in 

 cross section and while decoration on the body of the handle is not 

 common, a distinctive projection above the lip received varied treat- 

 ment. This projecting knob was sometimes button shaped, in other 

 cases it was broadened and flattened, and in still others it was bifur- 

 cated with two button-shaped horns. While a significant trait of 

 these handles is the portion which projects above the lip, the majority 

 of loop handles at Site No. 9 did not do so, but terminated at the 

 lip. The handle complex at Site No. 5 is very similar to that at 

 Site No. 9. 



An examination of the strap handles also helps to emphasize the 

 differences between the sites. At Sites Nos. 5, 9, 17, and strangely
