Rocker stamping is not frequent at any level, but the great majority of the examples are of Coarse Buff ware. Other types of stamping include impressions made with the ends of various sorts of blunt to sharp implements (fig. 28, d-g). No two vessels so stamped were quite alike in heaviness of stamping or in type of imple- ment used. The sherd shown in fig. 28, d, has heavy irregular puncta- tions made with a round-ended tool of some sort; the punctations are not even in size, indicating that the implement was rotated about, or leaned to one side or another, each time it was used.
