 Bay series vessels characteristically have well burnished, reddish
 surfaces with a range in color from red to gray red or red brown.
 Vessels were made by coiling, have a wall thickness which varies
 from 4 to 12 mm., and a surface hardness of about 2.5 on Mol,'
 scale.
 The correlation between modeled appendages and Bay paste is
 so high that it seems likely this paste with controlled firing was used
 as a substitute for red painting.
 Bay Plain-vessels of Bay paste without decoration (PI. VII, g).
 Shapes are similar to those mentioned under Botany Plain.
 Bay rim points-rim points from vessels of Bay paste (PIs. IV, b, i;
 XII, k) .
 Bay Narrow Handled--handled vessels of Bay paste.
 Bay Horned-vessels of Bay paste with rim horns as described under
 Botany Horned (Pls. V, d; VI, i; XI, b) .
 Bay LIgi -d-\essels of Bay paste with flat rim appendages as de-
 scribed under Botany Lugged (Pls. II, f; IV, f; V, f; XII, d) .
 Bay Lip Punctated-vessels of Bay paste with punctuated lips (Pls. I,
 b; IX, m). As would be expected, punctations are of different sizes,
 shapes, and spacings.
 Bay Inner Lip Incised-vessels of Bay paste with the upper portion
 of the rim bent outward to present an inner "lip" or "rim" surface
 on which incised decoration is found (Pls. VI, a; VII, a). These
 vessels are also usually red-painted. The incised decoration consists
 of variations of an "ovoid urrIounidiiig a bar" motif which repeats
 around the rim. A profile of this type of vessel is not included in
 Figure 2 as we only found rim fragments.
 This type may represent a trade item. Rouse (!i52.i: P1. 3, N)
 illustrates a similar sherd of Puerto Rico and (1952a: 342) men-
 tioned this type as a prominent feature of the Ostiones style.
 Bay Vertical Incised-vessels of Bay paste decorated by vertical
 applique which is bordered, usually only on one side, by vertical,
 pl)aall.l, incised lines. There is considerable variation in the length
 and number of incised lines. This dcc, atiii is found on the side
 and top of rims (P1. VI, f; Rouse 1952a: P1. 4, G).
 Bay Side Appliqi'd--vessels of Bay paste with various elements
 added by applique to outer walls as described under Botany Ap-
pliqued.
