Most of the pots seem to have been symmetrically and gracefully 
proportioned. The shapes varied and four different types can be recog- 
nized. They may be characterized as follows: the first, and what may 
be regarded as the primal type, of which four examples were found, is 
of the most elementary form, being cup-like, with rounded base and more 
or less straight, vertical sides (See in Plate XII, figures 2-4). The second 
type, represented by fragments of three vessels and a whole specimen, had 
a vertical rim, much smaller in circumference than the globular body ( See 
Plate II, figure 4, and cross-section of another fragment in Plate XII, figure 
1). The third type had a globular body, constricted neck, and flaring or 
everted rim (See Plate II, figures 15, 23, 25, also cross-sections in Plate 
XII, figures 5-18, 23, and 27). There are fragments of ninety-nine pots 
of this type. The fourth type, of which there are fragments of four 
thousand seven hundred and eighty-one pots, had the globular body and 
constricted neck of the third type, but differed from it in having an over- 
hanging, cornice-like collar, showing varying degrees of development, 
from low to high, from simple to elaborate, and finally to those with handles. 
A few pots of this type had an oblong body. 
No evidence of a chronological sequence of types was discovered; 
those from lower levels being of the same types as those occurring in the 
higher or upper parts of the refuse deposits. It is possible, however, that 
the third type is a survival of an earlier stage in Iroquois pottery develop- 
ment. 
The simple pots of the first two types are usually small and crude, 
and were probably toys made for, or by, children. Two of these pots 
had an encircling shallow groove corresponding to the constricted neck 
of other pots of the third and fourth types (See cross-sections in Plate 
XII, figures 3, 4). 
The rims of the third type of pot show differences in shape, as can be 
seen in the cross-sections in Plate XII, figures 5-18; a few even have a 
suggestion of the overhanging collar of the fourth type (See cross-sections 
in Plate XII, figures 18, 23). The rims of more than half of the pots of 
this type have a cross-section like that in Plate XII, figure 18. 
Many of the rims of the fourth type of pot show a considerable degree 
of specialization. The shapes of the collars on this type of pot can be 
seen in the cross-sections, from the simplest in Plate XII, figures 19, 21, 
24, 26, 28, 30, with a mere suggestion of an overhanging rim, to the highly 
elaborated collars seen in figures 33 to 92. The collars are mostly vertical 
and smaller in circumference than the body. A few slant inward (Plate 
VII, figure 2) ; others outward, as in the one shown in cross-section in 
Plate XII, figure 63; and another has part of the upper portion of the rim 
inverted at a sharp angle (See Plate VII, figure 3, and the cross-section in 
Plate XII, figure 80). The outside of the collar is either more or less 
straight vertically (Plate XII, figures 59, 61, 66, 67, 69, 70, 76, 91) ; convex, 
as on three hundred and fifteen pots, twenty-two of them being concavo- 
convex in cross-section (Plate XII, figure 60) ; or concave, as on one 
thousand two hundred and ninety-one pots (See cross-sections in Plate 
XII, figures 37, 41, 43, 45, 53, 57, 87, 89). Some of the collars have the lip 
slightly everted as showu in the cross-sections in Plate XII, figures 54, 
55, and 84.
