The strai«iht pipe seems to have hccn ohtaincd only on Statcn Island, 

 on the noilli shore, in the ic^ion o('cuj)ie(l )>>■ the Hackensack. \\'hile no- 

 where as ahundant as \\\n)\\ the Ii()(|Uoian sites of central and western 

 New York, the clay i)ipe is rather connnon and is a ])roniinent feature in 

 the coast culture of New York. It is more abundant perhaps in the 

 southern part of the aica, hut this may well he due to the fact that data 

 from this re^;ion are more easily accessible. The trianjj:ular-stcmmed 

 "trumj)et" pipe so common on the Irocjuoian sites is unknown in tliis 

 region.

Th(> ))otterv of this i-(>«ii()n ma\' all be consideicd as being either the 

 native Algonkian in type oi' showing Ii-ocjuoian influence with a third and 

 intermediate variety. Algonkian vessels may be divided into the follow- 

 ing groups according to shape: 



1. Conical, pointed bottom, slighth' s\yollen sides, circumference 

 largest at the mouth, — the typical Algonkian pot of this area, Fig. a. 



2. Like number 1, but much rounder and broader, Fig. b. 



3. Bottom ])ointed, sides slightly swollen, neck sHghtly constricted, 

 Fig. c. 



4. Identical with number 2, except that just below the beginning 

 of the neck, occur small i-aised lugs, ears, or handles. This is rare from 

 this area. Fig. d. 



5. Rounded bottom, somewhat constricted neck, lip sometimes 

 flaring, or even turning down and back. Fig. e. 



The intermediate types are as follows: 



6. Rounded bottom, constricted neck, narrow raised rim or collar, 

 Fig. f. 



7. Like numl)er 6, but with sides more elongated and bottom more 

 oval than round, heavier collar, generally notched angle, with or without 

 a series of small humps or projections at intervals, Fig. g. 



The Iroquoian types are as follows: 



8. Mouth rounded, collar or rim heavy, with humps or peaks at 

 intervals, angle notched, neck constricted and bottom lounded; can 

 stand b}' itself, an unknown feature in local Algonkian vessels. Fig. h. 



9. Same as number 7, but with meuth square, and humps at every 

 angle. Much less common than in the preceding. Fig. i. 



In size, the vessels range from small toy-like pots to jars of very large 

 capacity. In general they appear to have been made by the coil process, 

 and are tempered w:ith pounded stone or fine gravel, mica or burned or
