Figure 69.—Vessel shapes, type Cowley Plain, from Larcom-Haggard (14C01) site. Scale, 20 cm. of attachment. Decoration is exceedingly rare; one loop handle has a row of circular punctations running down the midline, and 21 of approximately 75 lip sherds have diagonal incisions, the rest being undecorated. There are four incised sherds from Larcom-Haggard, but these even apait from the decoration cannot be certainly assigned to the ware under discussion.^^ 85 This description Is based on 3 restored jars from pit B, mound 1, Country Club site, and 1 from pit 8, Elliott site. Shortly after we left the locality, Louis Essex of Arkansas City opened a cache pit just southeast of, but probably a part of, the Larcom-Haggard site: and from sherds sent by him to the National Museum for study two more vessels were assembled (pi. 54). Both are shell tempered, have flat disk bases, vertical strap handles, and shapes not significantly deviant from those represented by our finds. The larger of these (pi. 54, a) is .31.8 cm. high by 26..3 cm. in greatest diameter, with a 10-cm. base; the second (pi. 54, b) has corresponding measurements of 17.8, 16.8, and 7.C cm.
