figure 6). A variation of the pattern is seen on a rim fragment, and on a 
few shoulder fragments, one of which is seen in Plate V, figure 17 (in this 
specimen one of the pl&ts with honzontEil lines beo-i^ in addition & row of 
short, diagonal depressions along the longer side). A further variation of 
this type of chevron, which occurs on a few rim fragments, differs from those 
i ust described in having one row of trapezoidal plats filled with diagonal 
instead of horizontal lines (See Plate XIII, figure 3). The arrangement of 
the triangular plats as in the pattern seen in Plate XIII, figure 4, is unusual. 
In another type of chevron the triangular plats are widely separated and the 
space between each two plats is filled with diagonal lines (See Plate XIII, 
figure 5) One of the plats of a chevron of the first type encloses a small, square 
plat filled with diagonal lines (See Plate XIII, figure 6). Chevrons composed 
of two opposing sets of plats shaped like scalene triangles, filled with diagonal 
lines as in Plate XIII, figure 7, occur on many rim fragments, two of which 
are seen in Plate VII, figures 9 and 10. The position of the plats and the 
direction of the lines are reversed on other rims (See Plate XIII, figure 8). 
Other variations of this pattern are seen in Plate IX, figure 18, and Plate 
XIII, figure 9. The pattern seen in Plate XIII, figure 10, which occurs on 
a few rims and on a bowl fragment of an earthenware pipe, differs from the 
others in having the triangular plats in the upper row filled with vertical 
lines. The type of chevron in Plate XIII, figure 11, occurring on a few rim 
fragments (See Plate IV, figure 25) , consists of a row of isosceles triangles 
with their narrowest side vertical, the spaces at top and bottom foi ruing 
scalene triangles; this is also a Hochelagan pattern. The plats of another 
type of chevron occurring on many other rims (mostly with convex collars) 
are trapezoidal instead of triangular (See Plate XIII, figure 12). Other 
chevrons are composed of more irregularly shaped plats, as in Plate XI , 
figures 13-18. In the pattern seen in figure 13, which occurs on a few rims, 
the plats in the upper row are trapezoidal and the lower triangular. The 
unusual type of chevron seen in Plate XIII, figure 19, occurs on a few rim 
fragments. Another unusual design is seen in Plate XIII, figure 20; it prob- 
ably extended around the rim. In a few cases the triangular plats of the 
chevron are separated by bands of from two to four diagonal lines, the 
filling of the lines in both upper and lower plats being all in the same direc- 
tion (See Plate XIII, figure 24) . 
Only a few of these chevron patterns are very narrow ; one oi the nar- 
rowest being seen on the rim fragment in Plate IX, figure 8, half of the space, 
in this instance, being filled with other decorative elements. 
Chevrons form the sole decoration on either the rim, neck, or shoulder 
of several pots (See Plate IV, figures 5 (neck), 17, 24, and Plate X, figure 
19), and on the earthenware pipe stem in Plate XVI, figure 27 a. They are 
combined with other decorative elements on many other pots and on a fev 
earthenware pipes (See, among others, those in Plate IV, figuies 13, 15, 16, 
Plate VII, figures 2, 6, Plate VIII, figures 13, 20 (unusual) , Plate IX, figures 
20, 21, and Plate XIII, figures 26-28, 31-34) . 
Another type of what may be considered a chevron, occurring on several 
rims and a few neck and shoulder fragments, consists of a design resembling 
that in Plate XIII, figure 2, except that in most cases the alternating plats 
are left partly blank, with either linear or other impressions along two or 
all sides of the field (Plate VI, figures 2, 9, and 13) , or, besides those impres-
