There is a curious similarity in shape and proportions between this little piece and the larger jar fragment (TJSNM 388590) reported above, which came from another pit in the same group. The form is not typical of any previously known Central Plains ware (fig. 42, &, and pi. 27, c). In addition to the three wares described and named above, there are suggestions of one or two others which, for want of an adequately representative sherd series, I have not attempted to name. Thin hard cord-roughened sherds, to the number of 142, recall the pre- historic Upper Republican pottery of northern Kansas and southern Nebraska, but their presence, if sparing, in virtually every excavation unit at the Tobias site seems to support the view that the ware was used, and probably manufactured locally. As a group, the sherds are characterized by a fine compact dark-gray paste, with somewhat coarser and less abundant gravel inclusions than are found in the non-cord-impressed wares; the sherds are from to 7 mm, thick, and hardness is to Medium to fine cord impressions, often much worn or rubbed down, cover exterior surfaces. Aside from the cord-roughening, however, the sherds are not all so easily distin- guished from the Geneseo gray wares; some in fact are identical in paste, tempering, etc. Vessel forms are unknown, and cannot even be guessed at from our sherd sample. There are 11 rimsherds, all but one of them simple unthickened, either straight and vertical or slightly curved and outflaring, and none apparently more than or 3 cm. high. Five have cord impressions extending up the rim exterior to the lip. Lips are rounded (9) or flattened (2), with.
