Ceramic Frequencies

I divided the ceramics from the floodplain into 60 types based on the completed analysis. The results of this ceramic analysis are summarized in the frequency tables (see Tables 1 through 30, below). The ceramic frequencies of each test unit are divided according to stratigraphic layer and features. I only included the features that were associated with sherds in the tables. Thus, not all features are listed in the tables. The numbers 1 through 60 identify the individual types. However, these types are temporary until all ceramic analysis is completed. Additional observations made during the analysis of the remaining test units indicate that some of the types could be further divided. That analysis includes 2,135 drawings of profiles and exteriors (Figure 2; Figure 3, shown above; Figure 4, Figure 5, Figure 6, shown below). These drawings represent five test units. Unfortunately, this analysis remains unfinished. Both typologies (Coe and Diehl 1980; Coe 1981; and Symonds, Cyphers and Lunagómez 2003) are represented in this present typology.
