There is great similarity in the industrial products, particularly
 Ieramics, of the prehistoric inhabitants of the Iesser Antilles at
 certain time periods. With minor exceptions duplicate types are
 lound on all sizeable islands. The only exception to this generaliza-
 tion is that the Sua/ey series, while abundant in the Windward
 Islands and well represented at Cap Chevalier on Martinique
 (Seininaire College Collection), thins out rapidly northward from
 St. Lucia and is unknown in the Virgin Islands. Suazey Plain and
 Scratched are known as far north as Sint M1aarten (Bullen and
 Bullen 1IliI.l 'T'hey are also common on Barbados and 1Tobago but
 absent on Trinidad and northeastern Velezuela except for the
 pearl diving center on Margarita where Carib (and other Indians)
 were imported as labor. As another exception to this statement,
 pottery classifiable as Caliviny Plain and red-painted, but not
 Polychrome, has recently been found at one site on Trinidad (Peter
 (. H. Harris, personal communication).
 'The earlier Saladoid conltillnuum is lound on all these islands
although pure sites of the earliest phase, here referred to as In-
sular Saladoid are extremely rare and barely represented on Tobago
or Barbados. Many specific pottery types such as Pearls Cross
Hatched, Siimon White Painted, Grande Anse Interior Incised,
Diamant I lainmock Shaped, Vase Mario, and Troumnassee Decorated
(:Clinder have general distribution in the Lesser Antilles. Thie first
and last named are also found in northeastern Venetuela (Rouse
and Criuxant 1963: PI. 17, c-f; Sanoja-Vargas, personal communica-
lion). It is not certain )yet whether St. Vincent Black Lined and
Black Zoned will similarly have general distribution but thle last
has been noted in Edgar (ClerIs collection on G;uadeloupe and has
also been found on \lartinique. Black paint rubbed into incised
lines is also known lfor Trinidad and Venezuela.
 The general sequence ol cultIure periods in tie ILesser Antilles
is well known tbut based on a minimum stratigraphic picture. The
work on St. Vincent produced significant data in this regard as
well as a start in determining which pottery types are relatively
earlyy or late during the Saladoid continuum. At two Carriacou
sites, Dover anld Grand Bay, the data include suggestions that
(Caivili ceramics are earlier, on tlhe average, than Suazey pottery.
At Saba/an,: also on Carriacou, adl at Fit/-Huglhs on St. Vincent
this tendency seemed more clearly defined (Tables 1, 3). At
(hancery Liane and Peak Bay on Barlbados stratigraphic evidence
