. Bulletin. Ethnology. 308 BUREAU OF AMERICAN ETHNOLOGY [BULL. 118 I would say that Sites Nos. 11 and 10 would fall into one group in spite of the fact that Site No. 11 is much richer ceramically than is Site No. 10. The similarity is quite marked. Site No. 19, I feel, is distinct enough from this first group and from the third group to be considered as an unique site. Sites Nos. 5, 9, and IT can be classed together, and on the basis of the small amount of material available Sites Nos. 2 and 4 also belong to this third division. I believe that the charts and the determinants listed show the same relationships. They are an attempt to express objectively, and make available for comparative research, the ceramic picture at these sites from the Norris Basin. The listing of the detailed characteristics of the various types of vessels shows the relationships of which I have spoken in the fore- going paragraph. To simplify the site-by-site comparison, I have prepared a percentage relationship of the principal types of vessels at each of the components. This analysis brings out the main points of similarities and differences. At the cave sites we find that while sherds with a net impression comprise percent of the total at Site No. 12, they are absent at Site No. 3. On the other hand, Site No. 3 has the grilled stamp design on percent of the sherds found there, but this design is grouped under the miscellaneous heading at Site No. 12. One of the major distinctions between Sites Nos. 11, 10, and 19, and Sites Nos. 5, 9, and 17, is that the first group has a preponder- ance of lug handles, while the second group has a majority of loop handles. While the salt pan was not absent at Site No. 19 it was so rare that it does not figure in this general presentation of the major types, nor were bowls completely absent at Site No. 17. Jars with pointed rims, and those with rim bosses only figure promi- nently at Site No. 11. Jar-type A is conspicuous at Sites Nos. 11 and 10.
