rim among one hundred and twenty-three fragments representing three- 
fourths of one pot found in heap D. These lines are arranged in parallel, 
oblique rows just below the rim and in horizontal rows around the pot 
below. There are also long, oblique rows across the slightly lipped rim. 
That the impressions are not those of a bag or fabric is implied by the 
oblique lines on the edge of this fragment, and almost proved by the 
two nearly vertical lines indenting the lip of another fragment (Plate XI, 
figure 2) which is coated with carbonaceous matter on the scarified inner 
surface. 
A row of oblique impressions, probably made with a cord-wound twig, 
may be seen on the lipped edge of the rim (Plate XI, figure 3). By pressing 
out the lip it was given a scalloped edge. Close under the lip, and parallel- 
ing it, is a row of parallel cord impressions, apparently made before the 
scallops in the lip, because the scallops are bent down over it. Closely 
following these is a row of triangular incisions or punched depressions. 
Below this is another row of parallel cord impressions and then another row 
of larger, nearly rectangular, punched depressions, followed, at the left, 
by a fan -like design composed of curved, nearly concentric rows of two-ply 
cord impressions, which may have been made by rolling a cord-wound 
twig or stamping with a cord -wound loop. To the right are two wide 
oblique lines, slanting in different directions and converging at the top, 
which were possibly drawn, but probably pressed, into the clay, perhaps by 
a rocking stamp, after which a row of transverse cord impressions was made 
on top of them. Had the cord impressions been made first, they would be 
smeared, and had the rocking stamp been cord-wound the ends of the cord 
impressions would extend beyond the edges of the grooved lines. In the 
triangular space formed by the converging oblique lines, and roughly 
parallel with the line at the left, are two oblique rows of cord impressions. 
At the extreme right of the fragment are other rows of cord impressions 
slanting in the opposite direction. 
The rows of transverse parallel cord impressions on the fragment shown 
on Plate XI, figure 4, are at right angles to the slightly lipped rim, as they 
are in a total of three pots, represented by six fragments. On four pots, 
represented by twenty-two fragments, they run at an angle of about 45 
degrees to the edge of the rim (Plate XI, figures 1, 7). The rim of one pot 
had these lines both at right angles in four fragments, and oblique in six. 
On the flat top of the rim are three curved impressions, apparently part of a 
row that encircled the pot. 
Both straight lines and nearly concentric curved rows of transverse 
cord impressions, the latter forming a fan-like design, show on one of the 
fragments illustrated on Plate XI, figure 5. Such fan-like designs show on 
thirteen fragments from heap A, three from heap D, two from heap L, 
and one from heap N. 
Two sets of nearly concentric curved lines of such cord impressions, 
forming a fan-like design, show on the fragment of pottery illustrated in 
Plate XI, figure 6. 
The straight rows of transverse parallel impressions of two-ply twisted 
cord are in some cases close together, and the winding is also sometimes 
close. In the fragment illustrated on Plate XI, figure 8, the lines and the 
coils are about half the usual distance apart and there is a part of a double
