In- cisions producing this motif tend to be slightly broader than the average for the pottery type as a whole. The design area is occa- sionally bounded by single, horizontal incised lines. 3. Zigzag (pi. 42, a-f). Short diagonal strokes are drawn alternately right and left to produce a vertically oriented pattern. The vari- ation in care of execution is greater than in the preceding motifs, and sloppily executed examples are relatively frequent. The 2ag and zag lines may meet, overlap or fail to join. Adjacent lines may be markedly nonparallel. Lines vary greatly in width but are consistent on a single vessel. Occasional additional ornamenta- tion above or below the incised area consists of rows of fingernail impressions and fingertip punctates. 4. Broad incisions or scrapings (pi. 42, g-j). Flat-bottomed incisions over 2 mm. wide are used to draw designs composed of squares, parallel or intersecting lines of variable spacing. The majority of the sherds are too small to reveal the overall arrangement in de- tail, but the standardized execution of the 3 previous motifs is not characteristic. Temporal diffekences within the type : None. Both vessel shapes and design motifs show great consistency in their distribution through time (Appendix, table 32). Chronological position of the type ; Kanashen Incised occurs throughout the Taruma Phase, except at the very earliest sites, in frequencies that fluctuate between and percent. It exhibits no clear-cut trend of increasing or decreasing popularity (fig. 101)..
