otherwise well defined check stamped vessels. Where whole
vessels are eocouotered, rare except in burial mound furniture
or caches where the pots are restorable, the Nokulla Check
stamps teod to be ao all-over treatment.
Itmustbe emphasized that the implied deliberate
texturiog in the “8oughened” category doea not detract from the
large greup of definitely plain, smoothed or burnished vessels,
usually large, wide brimed bowls, preseot io the series. Again,
such bowls figured prominently in the pottery caohe on the east
periphery of the burial mound at Lake Douglas. A single, deep
or well-defined scored or incised line parallels the rim,
demarcating a pressed down fold or a slightly thickened rim
section. In all essential choraoteristios, and in the particular
context here, we seem clearly to be dealing with the type
described in the previous literature as Weeden Island Plain.
