A bowl-like lid was inverted over the mouth and extended slightly beyond it. Inside the jar were bone ash and sherds that appeared to be frag- ments of a platterlike bowl. Two small bowls, superimposed, rested on the shoulder. The upper one, slightly the larger, contained black dirt and a couple of tiny sherds. At a depth of 75 cm., fragments of a human skeleton were found adjacent to the jar, on the outside.

Jar H, Joanes Painted (Jig. 93): White slipped on neck interior and extending over exterior to just below the maximum diameter, smooth and even except toward the lower limit. The remainder of the surface, both interior and exterior, is also well smoothed. Dark-gray fire clouds are scattered on the exterior. The paste has a gray core.
