. Bulletin. Ethnology. 146 BUREAU OF AMERICAN ETHNOLOGY [BOLL. 174 Strap handles, are apparently the common form (fig. 16; pi. 8, 6). Some evidence of deep bowls (fig. 16). Rim: Outcurving or straight outflaring, rarely vertical; from 2-4 cm. high; unthickened and undecorated (fig. 17). Lip: Usually rounded and somewhat thinned, but occasionally nearly flat. Base: No direct evidence, but presumably rounded. Neck: Constricted. Vessel size: Jars apparently range in diameter from 10-12 cm. upward to approximately 30-35 cm. (estimated from sherds) ; the relative abundance of heavy rim, handle, and body sherds suggests that there were a good many large plainware utility vessels. Thickness: Body sherds average between 4 and 7 mm.; occasional pieces, especially from necks of large jars, may reach thickness of 12 mm. Handles : Strap handles are highly characteristic, loop handles and lugs much less so; probably two and sometimes four per vessel. The ends are blended into the vessel fabric, the upper end usually 5-10 mm. below the lip and the lower end on the upperbody below the neck. There is no evidence of riveted or tenoned attachments, and in no case does the handle rise directly from the lip. Two forms of strap handles may be recognized: (a) Tapered straps (57 specimens), narrowest at the lower end and widening as they rise to the rim. In size, the smallest widen from 15 to 25 mm., the largest from cm.; they are from 2 to 5 times as wide as they are thick, and have a flattened.
