NYSAA Bulletin No. 26 — Croton Point Midden Excavation — Passage 6
[Louis A. Brennan et al. (1962)] 16 THE BULLETIN pipe is represented by a stem only, but is unusual in that the rear portion of an animal, possibly a lizard, stands out in relief on the top of the stem. It has legs with three toenails on each and a short tail (Fig. D). Another pipe stem was originally round, but the portion of the stem which would be in the smokers mouth had been ground down to make it hexagon shape. Rims of 69 different pottery vessels were recovered and several vessels were partially restored. The largest is 17" across the top and 22" tall. Another is 9" x 14". A third vessel is only 4 1/2" x 7". While more than 69 rims are normally desired for pottery study on a given site these three pits were widely separated over the site so these rims should give a good sample of vessel designs used there. A chart of technique and design on these rims is on the following page. The Nok Site Ontario Horizontal Oblique 45 rims 1 rim
