food bowls are the most 

 common ; the former have 

 the "sugar-bowl" form. 

 The mugs, like those of 

 the Mancos-McElmo sub- 

 area, are slightly larger at 

 the bottom than at the 

 top. Ladles have the 

 same general form and 

 are similarly decorated.

 Several pestles, some 

 made of stone, others of 

 clay, found in the debris 

 of Oak-tree House, repre- 

 sent a rare type. Those 

 here figured (figs. 6, 7), 

 representative of several

 forms. Several flat stones 

 found in Kiva C of Oak-tree 

 House had pigment still ad- 

 hering to them. A circular 

 object (fig. 9) is probably 

 the cover of a vase. Similar 

 covers of stone or clay, 

 sometimes with a knob or 

 handle, are not rare.
