. Bulletin. Ethnology. 24 BUREAU OF AMERICAN ETHNOLOGY [edll. 126 ceding series to the entire outer surface, exhibits a variety of sizes and shapes. Many of the latter are a continuation of those made in older types of culinary jars, but there are some that show modifica- tion. The large sizes, represented only by potsherds and portions of vessels up to approximately half the complete container, were made in two shapes. One consisted of a full body with rounded bottom and walls tapering to a wide orifice with outcurved rim, the area of greatest diameter being at approximately the middle line of the jar (fig. 3, a). The other had a rounded bottom, sides taper- ing to a wide orifice with slightly outcurved rim, the line of great- est diameter occurring about two-thirds of the distance down the side from the top (fig. 3, 5). Those in the first group had a height range between 10% and 12 inches ( and cm.), diameters from 1214 to 13% inches ( to cm.), and orifice diameters.
