Simple silhouette forms ; d, e, composite silhouette forms. There are neckless, short, and long necked forms, both plain and ridged (fig. 37, a to d). A few long slender necks may be from bottlelike forms. Little can be said as to the body form of Black ware ollas. Some high-shouldered wall sherds have been found, but probably most olla bodies had rounded sides. No necks decorated with faces have been found. MiscellaTieous types.—Effigy jars occur in Black ware. The best example in the 1940 collections is a small wide-based fragment from trench 26, the wall of which is modeled and incised to form a low.
