Slightly eroded, this bowl has a straight direct rim and a square lip. The basal diameter is 18 cm and the thickness of the wall ranges from 0.9 to 1.2 cm. Red (2.5YR 5/8) slip has been applied to the interior and exterior, while the paste is a pale brown (10YR 6/3). The vessel was one of two found inverted over the skull.

A Sierra Red bowl with outcurved sides, rounded base, and a direct rim with rounded lip. The interior of the vessel was burned. The slip has been burned to black, but is eroded and only small areas are apparent. The paste is a yellowish brown (10YR 5/8) color. The bowl was one of two found inverted over the head of a (possibly) male adult.

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.

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 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.
