The wall thickness varies from 3-5 mm. A few scraps of cremated bones remained inside. Vessel G, an excellent example of Flexal Scraped (fig. 32), rested on one side against the back of the cave. It has a slightly depressed, globular body 25 cm. in diameter, a flat base 10 cm. in diameter, a short (2 cm.) neck 14 cm. in diam- eter, and a cambered rim measuring 18 cm. in diameter. The overall height is 21 cm. Two strap handles, one of which remains in place, joined the rim with the shoulder. The upper body wall and the rim exterior are decorated with spirals and parallel lines in triangular fields made with a blunt, brushlike tool 5 mm. wide, leaving fine, parallel marks. The interior was filled with fine, tan soil, and small scraps of cremated bones. Vessel H is a small and badly smashed Arist6 Painted (red) jar. Fragments of cremated bones were mixed with the dirt surrounding it. Vessel I, Arista Painted, is similar in shape to vessel G, but lacks the strap handles (pi. 21, a). Base diameter is 8 cm., maximum body diameter 24 cm., neck diameter 11 cm., and rim diameter cm. with the body wall thickness 5 mm. and the total height 22 cm. The exterior surface is badly eroded except on one side of the neck, just below the rim, where traces of red paint are visible. The vessel was partly filled with cremated bones and dirt. Vessel J, part of a large, flaring rim, carinated Arista Painted bowl lay partially buried beside a large rock in the dirt excavated by an animal in the east end of the cave. The surfaces are poorly preserved but traces of a black-on-white design remain on the inner side of the flaring rim. The reconstructed body diameter at the rim attachment is 26 cm., the rim diameter 36 cm., and the total height 14 cm. The small, slightly-concave base is 9 cm. in Please n
