ABORIGINAL POTTERY OF NEW BRUNSWICK. 
115 
lines of dots a series of chevrons, the whole appearing like a 
continuous curved line. On the top of the brim is a series of 
dots, and another on the inside. The inner surface is entirely 
covered with a very fine saw-toothed design rocked on. 
Fig. 2. A plain, textile-like design, which is carried over 
the rim and down the inside over half an inch, entirely the work 
of a toothed rocker. The hole .near the rim, which has been 
made while the clay was soft, is over one-eighth of an inch in 
depth, so nearly through as to raise a protuberance on the inside. 
The ear is a unique feature not met with in any other fragment 
in our collection. Like the hole, it was made after the design 
had been rocked on the pot. Whether the ear and hole were for 
use or simply for ornament, is not apparent. Two or more of 
these ear-like projections on a vessel would prevent a cord tied 
around the pot from slipping over the top ; or was this pot made 
early in the French period, in imitation of the French pots, which 
all had perforated ears? 
Fig. 3. From Princess Park. — The lower part of the design 
is rocked on. Further up .a herring-bone pattern has been made 
with the stylus. Three almost straight lines meet in such a way 
as to appear like a series of curves. The top of the rim is plain, 
with rows of indentations on either edge ; inside there is a rocked 
pattern about one inch in width. 
Fig. 4. In this Bocabec sherd the design has been made with 
a rocking implement having twelve or more teeth, and making 
an imprint nearly an inch in length. The rim has been decorated 
with a double row of dots, and a rocked band three-fourths of 
an inch in width runs round the inside. 
Fig. 5. This fragment has an unusually thick rim. The 
design, as shown in the figure, was made by a toothed indenting 
tool. The same implement has been used in making a series of 
oblique indentations on the brim, and for making a band of 
perpendicular imprints on the inside. 
Fig. 6. From Maquapit Lake. — This design is the work of 
a seven or eight-toothed indenting tool.
