A Sierra Red bowl with outcurved sides, medial flange, everted rim, and rounded lip. The base is rounded. One of two identical vessels, it was the upper half of a lip-to-lip cache with V# 074.

The second of two identical vessels, this Sierra Red bowl is less complete than V# 073. It has outcurved sides, medial flange, everted rim, and rounded lip. It was placed as the lower half offering in a lip-to-lip cache.

A bowl with flaring sides, a direct rim, and round lip. The basal diameter is 16 cm. The vessel was extremely eroded, so the red (2.5YR 5/8) color of the paste predominates. A very pale brown (10YR 7/3) color also occurs. The vessel was subject to carbonate accumulations. The thickness of the walls varies from 0.7 to 0.9 cm within which there is a 0.5 cm wide core of grayish brown (2.5Y 5/2). The bowl was the upright bottom vessel within the upper set of two lip-to-lip cache deposits.

An eroded Society Hall bowl with outcurving sides. The base diameter is 14 cm. This was the upright bottom vessel of the lower lip-to-lip cache deposit.

Part of a miniature jar with a basal diameter of 3.3 cm. One of two miniatures found near the base of two lip-to-lip cache deposits.

One of two fragmentary miniature jars found near the base of two lip-to-lip cache deposits.

This cylinder with outcurved sides and an exteriorly thickened rim and rounded lip is extremely eroded, and reveals a light reddish brown (2.5YR 6/4) paste under the surface. The overall slip color is dark red (2.5YR 4/8), but some fire clouding occurs and can range between a light olive brown (2.5Y 5/4), brownish yellow (10YR 6/6), and yellowish brown (10YR 5/6). The diameter of the base is 10 cm. Two pieces of chert were found inside the vessel.

This bowl has almost vertical sides. The color and paste are within the characteristic attributes of the Sierra Red type, Gadrooned variety. The decoration consists of shallow grooves, measuring 1 cm in width, carved into the exterior. The grooves are not as deep as those of other Sierra Red types, possibly due to erosional processes. The diameter of the incurved base is 23.5 cm. The bowl was deposited as a cache within the subfloor of Zone 16 and contained one piece of chert debitage.

This bowl has incurved walls, a direct rim, and a slightly squared lip. The vessel is decorated with four circumferential grooves on the upper part of the body. Each groove is of variable width (0.5-0.75 cm) and the uppermost one helps to form the rim. Two strap handles attach to the rim and measure 3 cm in length. The slip is eroded and found only on the exterior, as is fire clouding. The base is rounded and curves up to a maximum vessel diameter of 22 cm. The walls vary in thickness between 0.3-0.7 cm. The vessel was found in an inverted position.

A slightly outcurved vessel with an everted rim and 14 chevrons inscribed around the body below the rim. A lower register contains design elements in the shape of an inverted "U" that measure 9 cm in height and have widths of 3-4 cm. Fire clouding has blackened the rim and marred the finish of the red slip. The basal diameter is 13 cm.
