. Bulletin. Ethnology. I CM. b FiGUEE 30.—Pottery figurine (Ariste Plain paste) from A-11—Montanha de Arista, Cave 2, Arist6 Phase. Figurine.—The crude Arist6 Plain human figurine (fig. 30, a, b) is a rusty- brown except the diadem hairdo and face, which are painted black. A band was left unpainted on the face in the area corresponding to the forehead. No anatomical features are indicated except the head with the eyes, nose, and mouth gouged out on a very grossly modeled face. The workmanship is extremely crude and the result asymmetrical. The lower part flares outward slightly to a flat base with an oval cross section measuring cm. from front to back and from side to side. The narrowest portion of the body is by cm. with the full figurine cm. long. No small jars or bowls were found associated with the burial vessels, nor did any of the sherd fragments represent miniature vessels. No European glass trade beads were found either inside any of the vessels or scattered in the cave. The location of the whole or partially complete vessels in the fol- lowing descriptions is shown on the ground plan (fig. 28): Vessel A, a small, globular body of a flat-bottomed Serra Plain jar with the rim broken oflf, was found lying on its side with the mouth toward the rear of the east end of the cave. The body of the vessel with smoothed, light-tan surfaces is 20 cm. in diameter and 17 cm. high. The base diameter is 10 cm. and the neck diameter 9 cm. No bones were found inside, but many cremated bone scraps were scattered in the vicinity. Vessel B is a large Arista Plain jar with a flat base, an egg-shaped body (broken out on one side) and a short, vertical neck ending in an irregular, collared rim, averaging cm. wide (pi. 20, b). One side of the body had been broken by falling rocks. The dimensions of the jar are: body diameter, 30 cm.; base dia- meter, 18 cm.; rim diameter, 21 cm.; body height, 21 cm.; neck height, cm. The surface is well smoothed,
