CER K\MII TYPOLOGY


Coral White Painted-vessels of Coral paste having white-painted
designs, sometimes outlined by incision, on inner surfaces (P1. XIII,
i). This type may be the same as Coral White-on-Red.
Coral White-on-Red-vessels of Coral paste decorated with compli-
cated geometric designs made by applying white paint over red-
painted outer surfaces (P1. XIII, j; Rouse 1952a: P1. 2, M).
 This is the classic early white-on-red pottery of the Antilles
found from Puerto Rico (Rainey 1940: P1. 3) to Trinidad. It is
included by Rouse in his Cuevas style of Puerto Rico and his Cedros
style of Trinidad (Rouse 1953: 96).

 No Series

 Here are found various sherds or pottery types which do not
seem to fit easily into the pottery types defined above. They may
represent trade vessels or extreme variations in local ceramics.
Unique zoned red-this designation has been used for a unique
sherd from the Coral Bay site (P1. XIV, d). It is made of a sand-
tempered paste and is decorated with red paint applied in zones
outlined by incision. The wall of this vessel is fairly thick, varying
from 6 to 9 mm., and surfaces are well smoothed, particularly on
the inside. Thickness and curvature suggest a fairly large and
heavy vessel about 25 cm. in maximum diameter.
Unique red filmed-sherds of this vessel, while made of a sand-
tempered paste resembling that of the Hull Series, differ from
others in our collections in shape and surface treatment. Assembled
sherds (P1. XII, g) suggest a large water bottle with globular bot-
tom, a neck 14 cm. long, and an everted mouth 20 cm. in diameter.
Thick red paint has been applied to the outside, lip, and everted
portion of the inside. These painted surfaces are well burnished
and of a bright red color which is brighter than most of the red-
painted sherds in our collections. The inside of the neck has lost
its original surface and now resembles coarse sandpaper.
