NORTH SHORE SITES


otherwise the ceramic complex is similar to that of the preceding
phase. Horned and lugged containers, while still present, were not
as popular relatively as before.
 Incision does not seem to be prominent on the pottery from
Magens Bay in spite of the inclusion of Botany Incised Casuelas
in the Hatt, Kreiger, and Frassetto collections. Data are not avail-
able from our two tests for the placing of this important pottery
type in the above sequential scheme. It and other pottery types will
be discussed later and the scheme modified accordingly under the
St. John's portion of this paper.

 North Shore Sites

 The Indian site at Botany Bay is the furthest west on St. Thomas
 (Fig. 4). It consists of a black dirt and shell midden buried in the
 sand ridge behind the beach. Frassetto dug there in 1958 but her
 findings are not at present available.
 When visited by the Bullens in 1960, a large house was being
built on the site. The midden could readily be seen in the sides of
small trenches dug for the installation of water pipes and electric
cables.
 Our collection, taken from the spoil piles beside these ditches,
consists of a Botany Adorned, subtype 5 (Pl. I, a), two Botany
Painted and two Botany Unpainted Plates, one Botany Side Ap-
pliqued, ninety-six Botany Plain, three Bordeaux Plain, twenty-
three Hull Plain, one Bay Lip Punctated (P1. I, b), a Bay Plain,
and four Botany Griddle sherds. To this inventory should be
added a Botany red-painted and eighteen Botany Plain sherds, a
wide-line Bordeaux miscellaneous incised, three Bay Plain, a Botany
Griddle sherd, and a spindle whorl made from a sherd found by
the Davises during their survey.
 The site at Botany Bay is probably the second largest Indian
 site on St. Thomas. It was occupied during Magens IIC times,
 possibly also earlier-depending on the contents of the Frassetto
 collection.
 To the east of Botany Bay lies Bordeaux Bay (Fig. 4) where
 the next Indian site is located. The Davises' survey of this site
 produced a Botany miscellaneous incised, two Botany Narrow
