An unusual pattern consisting of a rectangular plat, with a row of crude 
depressions around the four sides, in combination with other decoration, is 
seen on the rim fragment in Plate VI, figure 17. Another unusual design, 
occurring on a few rims, consists of a row of rectangular plats separated 
from one another by groups of vertical lines, triangular plats filled with 
diagonal lines, and triangular groups of circles (/See Plate IX, figure 18). 
Triangular figures filled with vertical or diagonal lines occur on the 
neck of a small pot (See Plate VI, figure 11), on a few shoulder fragments, 
the hypotenuse in a few cases being paralleled by diagonal lines as in those 
seen in Plate VI, figure 12, and Plate VII, figure 8 (on the bilge) ; on a bone 
awl (Cat. No. VIII-F-11388) ; and on an object made of a deer phalanx 
(Plate XV, figure 21). 
Other patterns with triangular plats, which in some cases are either 
partly or entirely blank, occur on a few pot fragments, one of them with a 
row of depressions along the bottom being seen in Plate VI, figure 23, and 
another, but blank, in figure 1, in the same plate. In one case the plats, 
with a row of small depressions along one of the sloping sides, form part of 
a pattern including triangular plats filled with diagonal lines, a triangular 
group of three circles, and a row of short, vertical depressions along the 
lower angle of the rim. The design on the shoulder fragment in Plate VI, 
figure 6, is unusual and resembles a design on a rim fragment from an Onon- 
daga site in Jefferson county, New York (See Skinner, 4, Plate XXXII, 
figure 4) . The triangular space enclosed by the two ornaments seen on the 
rim fragment in Plate X, figure 3, besides the decoration on the ornamenta- 
tion in relief, has a row of depressions extending diagonally across the space 
and another row of larger depressions across the bottom. The design on 
the neck portion of the fragment seen in Plate VI, figure 7, is similar, except 
that it lacks the ornamentation in relief. 
The decoration of the pipe stem in Plate XVI, figure 24a, b, consists 
of a series of converging lines forming a triangular figure on one side, and 
of two converging lines with a series of transverse lines on the other; there 
is also a line along both narrow sides of the stem. 
Chevrons are the most numerous of the more complex patterns, occur- 
ring on many fragments of the rim, neck, and shoulders of pots, 1 on five 
earthenware pipes, and on a fragment of bone (Cat. No. VIII-F-10189). 
They are of several different types (See Plate XIII) . The most common type, 
consisting of two opposing rows of triangular plats, filled with diagonal lines 
slanting to the right and left in alternate plats, occurs on many rim frag- 
ments and a few neck fragments (See Plate VIII, figures 11, 13, and Plate 
IX, figures 7, 21) ; on the bowls of two earthenware pipes (Cat. Nos. VIII- 
F-13139 and VIII-F-13274) and on both sides of the stem in Plate XVI, 
figure 27a. The type of chevron seen in Plate XIII, figure 2, occurs on a 
few rim and shoulder fragments (See Plate V, figure 16). It is like a Hoehe- 
lagan pattern and also occurs on pottery from Huron sites in Simcoe county, 
Ontario, on Onondaga pottery from Onondaga county (See Beauchamp, 2, 
figure 16) , on Mohawk pottery from Hamilton county, New York (See Reid, 
Plate III) , and on Andaste pottery from Pennsylvania (See Wren, Plate 8, 
'Owing to the very fragmentary condition of most of the pottery it is impossible to say what proportion of these 
pieces are those of pots with chevrons on the rim and neck, on the rim and shoulder, oron the rim, neck, and shoulder. 
For this reason, also, it was impossible for us to determine the type of chevron on many of the fragments.
