ST. THOMAS AND ST. JOHN


1952a: PI. 2, K). Because of their associations on both St. John and
Puerto Rico (Rouse 1952a: 338), these handles may be the earliest
handle form in the region.
Botany Horned-vessels of Botany paste with cylindrical hornlike
projections extending, singly or in pairs, from the lip or rim area.
Horns may rise directly from the rim (P1. III, e) or from a rim
point (P1. V, c). They may, usually in a paired arrangement, extend
sidewards from a short luglike extension of the rim (Pls. III, f; IV,
a).
 Modeled hornlike adornos (PI. III, c) are not included in this
 type.
 Botany Lugged-vessels of Botany paste with flat rim appendages
 extending upwards from lip areas. These lugs may be rectangular
 (Pls. II, g; V, e; VII, e) or pointed rectanguloid (P1. VII, d) in shape.
 In Puerto Rico similar lugs are sometimes perforated (Rouse 1952a:
 PI. 3, A). Smaller or vestigial rim lugs (P1. IX, k) are included
 here.
 Botany Concave Lugged-vessels of Botany paste with peculiar, ear-
 shaped, concave lugs. The concave portion is on the inside and
 extends downward, below the lug proper, as part of the vessel wall
 (Pls. V, g; VI, d). This is a non-Puerto Rican trait (Rouse per-
 sonal communication).
 Botany Side Appliqued-vessels of Botany paste with various ele-
 ments added by appliqued coils to outer walls. Resultant decora-
 tion may be nearly straight and vertical (Pls. III, 1; IV, h; V, h-i;
 VI, e) or curving in various directions (Pls. III, m-n; VII, h; X, g).
 Occasionally these appliqued strips bear crosswise incision.
 Botany Lip Incised-vessels of Botany paste with incised or incised
 and punctated lips (Pls. III, g; XI, a; Rouse 1952a: P1. 3, J). Vessels
 with incised decoration on the side of the rim as well as on the lip
 would not be included in this class.
 Botany Incised Casuela-casuela-shaped vessels of Botany paste with
 incised decoration on outside walls between shoulders and lips
 (Pls. IX, g; X, 1). Sometimes applique is also present (PI. V, a).
 These vessels are seldom painted but frequently have a polished
 outer surface.
 Botany red-painted-sherds of Botany paste exhibiting red paint,
but no other distinguishing characteristic, are placed in this cate-
