Two hundred and ninety pots have projecting, spout-like lips, the 
largest proportion of them being parts of pots having oval or ovate mouths 
and narrow collars {See cross-sections in Plate XII, figures 86, 87, 89-92). 
Forty of the lips have the top obtusely pointed {See Plate IX, figures 14, 
16, 17, and Plate X, figures 8-10, 15) ; others have the top squared, giving 
a battlemented effect in some cases {See Plate X, figures 12 and 17). 
There are from one to three vertical grooves on the front angle of a few 
lips, some of the grooves being extremely wide {See Plate X, figures 13, 17, 
and 19). Six of the lips have the inner angle notched ; three are similarly 
notched on the outer angle (Plate II, figure 6) ; and two others have a deep 
notch on the lower angle. Six lips have a transverse groove across the 
peak (See Plate IX, figure 15, and Plate X, figure 17); and there is a 
groove in the opposite direction on four others (See Plate II, figure 13 (top) , 
and Plate IX, figure 23). 
The shape of the mouth of the pot depended on the shape of the rims. 
It is round (Plate VII, figure 11); ovate, with an angular lip at one end 
only; oval, with angular lips at opposite ends {See Plate VII, figure 10, 
and Plate XI); and polygonal, with from six to ten sides (See Plate II, 
figure 39, Plate VII, figure 2, and Plate X, figure 11). Only one of the 
pots had a collar with four sides, 1 but they are all convex. The mouth 
aperture of another pot was probably rectangular (See Plate VII, figure 3). 
Two of the pots had an undulating rim (See Plate III, figure 28) . 
About sixteen hundred and forty pots had peak-like elevations on the 
rim. On some of them, especially those with angular lips, there were only 
two peaks (See Plate XX). One of the round-mouthed pots had a peak 
on three sides, and a few others had one on four sides of the rim. There 
are from six to ten peaks on other rims, especially those with polygonal 
collars (See Plate VII, figure 2, and others illustrated). Thirty pots had 
groups of two (See Plate IV, figures 23, 24, and Plate VII, figure 11), and 
fifty-six others had groups of three peaks on two opposite sides of the 
rim (See Plate IV, figure 21, and Plate V, figure 5) . In some cases, as in 
the partly restored rim in Plate VII, figure 9, there are groups of three 
peaks on three sides of the rim, giving the mouth a curvilinear-triangular 
outline. Other pots seem to have had groups of three peaks on four sides 
of the rim. On a few rims the peaks were so close together as to give the 
edge a scalloped appearance {See Plate III, figure 12) . The rim margin of 
a few other pots is deeply notched {See Plate II, figure 26). 
The edge of the rims was finished in various ways. It was more or 
less rounded on one hundred and seventy-six pots {See cross-sections in 
Plate XII, figures 2, 3, 4, 6, 22, 45, 79. 85‘, 87, 89). It was bevelled to the 
outside and inside on one hundred and thirty-eight pots {See cross-sections 
in Plate XII, figures 9, 56), the bevels being much sharper on ninety-nine 
others (See cross-section in Plate XII, figure 70). Part of the edge of 
thirty-six pots sloped to the outside, and it sloped to the inside on seventy- 
one others {See cross-section in Plate XII, figure 91). The edge of twenty- 
one pots was finished off like the one seen in the cross-section in Plate XII, 
figure 71. The edge sloped to the outside on eight hundred and fifty pots 
{See cross-sections in Plate XII, figures 5, 12, 14, 23, 49, 53, 54, 60), and 
lottery vessels with square mouths are rare at Iroquois sites; PerkinB illustrates one from Vermont (3, Plate 
XXXVI, fig. d).
