I. TIIIÍ NETWORK AND TITA IUKT1IOD OI* ITS MANUFACTURA, 
The fragments oí pottery bearing network impressions are 
ten ( J ) in number. I sliall prefaee tlieir detailed description 
with a general study of the network itself, founded on the 
casts obtained froni tliem (Plates V to IX). 
The teclinic is somewhat complicated, but a very carefnl 
examination of the casts has pennitted not only the establish- 
ment of certain íixed types, but also the reproduction of all 
tlie patterns in eotton threau. 
'l'here are two distinct methods of manufacture: — 
1. Netting; 
2. Weaviug. 
The uetted cordwork is of two kinds, which may be classi- 
fied, according to the shape of the inesh, as lozenge-shaped 
(fig. 15), and square (fig. 16) (Píate V). These are similar in 
appearance to the same kinds in modern netting, with two 
differences. 
ist. The knot is different from that in modern netting. In 
all the e.xamples examined by me the knot is as in figures 15 c 
and 16 c. It will be more clearly seen in figure A (Píate VI), 
which also shows how it is made, and a stndy of this figure 
will give a better idea of it than could any verbal explanation. 
2ud. The knots are all worked 011 the same side (figs. 15 c, 
16 c\ so that tliev present a uniform appearance, whereas in 
modern netting, which is turned at the end of each row and 
worked back Oii the other side, the altérnate rows show the 
wrong side or back of the knot. In this ancient netting eitlier 
a fresh tliread must llave been started for each row, or at least 
for each two rows, or the netting must llave been worked 
round and round in a circle. The possibility has been con- 
sidered of its liaving been worked round the basket itself, which 
is probably what was done with the woven cordwork to be 
considered next, but with actual netting, according to the 
(1) T ti ese bear the distinguishing mitnbe.'s R 2, R 7, B 1 1, B 12, B 13, B 15, B 18, B 21, B 22, 
B 23. A few indisttnctly marked fragments are omitted.
