2. DESCRIPTION OF THE FRAGMENTS REA RING NETWORK 
IM PRESSIONS 
It will be seen from the foregoing remarks that the network 
may be rlivided into two groups, according to niethods of- 
manufacture, Group i, Netted Cordwork (Plates V &. VI) ( 
Group 2, Woven Cordwork (Plates VII, VIII & IX), and that 
tliese may each be subdivided into two varieties. According to 
these tvpes and varieties the fragments llave been classified. 
GROUP I, NETTED CORDWORK 
Variety (a). Tliis variety is represented by a minute frag- 
ment (B 23) of about 14'"’" x I4 mm and nearly 7 ,nm thick 
(% 15 )- 
Variety (b). Variety (b) is represented by three examples, 
the first (R 7) being a portion of the handle of a pot wliich 
lias broken away, taking with it some of the inner surface of 
the vessel, 26'" m x 47""", bearing the impressions of a net over 
basketwork (fig. 16). Another example (B 12) consists of five 
reunited fragments, whicli appear from their curved form to be 
from the side of a vase. The piece measures 47“"' x 51 1 "’" 
with a thickness of about 6"" n , and is entirely covered with 
deep impressions of netting over basketwork (fig. 17). A verv 
small piece (B 11), 14"”" x 22””" and about 6”"" thick, shows 
exactly the same markings (fig. 18). 
GROUP 2, WOVEN CORDWORK 
Variety (a). The pieces showing tliis variety of network 
are five in number (B 15, B 18, B 21, B 22, R 2), all of small 
size, the largest being only 2i mm x 26 mm , with thicknesses 
varying from 6 mm to 8 mm (figs. ig, 20, 21, 22 and 23). 
Variety (b). Tliere is but one example of tliis variety of 
network, the impressions of which are deeply marked in a 
fragment of the side of a vase (B 13). The piece measures
