XIV, figures 19 and 20, were probably made with a tool which was round in 
cross-section and cut squarely off at one end. Other round and oval 
depressions, apparently made with an antler tine punch, are seen on the 
fragments shown in Plate XIV, figure 17, and Plate XVIII, figures 4 and 6. 
Depressions, probably produced with half-round tools, are seen on the 
fragment illustrated in Plate XI, figure 2. The triangular depressions 
seen on the fragments in Plate IV, figure 5, and Plate XIV, figure 10, and 
the square ones on the fragment in Plate IV, figure 6, were probably made 
with a tool which was either triangular or square in cross-section. 
Impressing was done with the finger nails, cords, cord-wound, sinew- 
wound, or grass-wound twigs, crude makeshift tools, and what seem to 
have been special tools. The finger and thumb nails seem to have been 
used tu make impressions like those seen on the fragments illustrated in 
Plate III, figures 7 and 8; Plate V, figure 7; Plate VI, figures 5, 6, 7, 9, and 
10; Plate VII, figures 12 and 13; Plate VIII, figure 3; Plate X, figure 8; 
Plate XI, figure 7; Plate XII, figures 1, 6, 8, and 11; Plate XIII, figure 1; 
Plate XIV, figure 13; and Plate XVII, figure 16. Two fragments bear 
what seem to be impressed lines made by pressing a cord lengthwise into 
the moist clay. Impressions apparently made with cord-wound twigs 
are seen on the fragments illustrated in Plate III, figure 12; Plate IV, 
figures 2, 3, and 4; Plate X, figure 11; and probably Plate XIV, figure 19. 
Others (Plate IV, figure 9) seem to have been made with twigs similarly 
wound, either with sinew or grass. Crude impressions apparently made 
with the rough end of a stick, appear on the fragments illustrated in Plate 
III, figures 1, 2, 3, 14, and 15; Plate IV, figure 1; Plate VIII, figures 10 and 
11; Plate X, figure 12; Plate XI, figure 6; Plate XII, figure 5; Plate XIII, 
figure 2; and Plate XVII, figures 12, 17, and 18. It is difficult to determine 
what kind of tool was used to make the oblique impressions on the fragments 
seen in Plate IV, figure 13, and those in the two upper rows on the 
fragment in Plate V, figure 12. Large, triangular impressions (Plate VI, 
figure 2, and Plate XVIII, figure 5) were apparently made by pressing 
the end of a three or four cornered stick into the clay. The notches on the 
outer and inner angles of the rims seem to have been produced by pressing 
similar tools transversely across the angles (See Plate V, figure 2). Other 
impressions, like those seen on the fragments illustrated in Plate IV, 
figure 6, were probably produced with a piece of wood or an implement 
either square or oblong in cross-section. Almond and kidney-shaped 
impressions, like those seen in Plate V, figures 13 and 15, Plate XI, figures 
4 and 9, Plate XII, figures 3, 5, and 9, and Plate XIII, figure 4, were 
probably made with a rounded or blunt point. Narrow, semicircular 
impressions, which look as if they had been produced with a gouge-like 
tool, are seen on the fragment illustrated in Plate IV, figure 14, and on the 
margin of another rim fragment. Separate impressions, closely following 
each other and in many cases merging into one another, giving the effect of 
a broken line, seem to have been made by drawing some of the above- 
mentioned tools with obtuse points and those with the ends cut squarely 
off at the ends, with a jerky motion across the surface. These lines in some 
cases look like cord impressions. At first sight it would appear as if this 
method of making lines was due to the potter's inability to draw a con- 
tinuous line freehand. Many of them, however, appear to have been so
