[Louis A. Brennan et al. (1962)] 7 1 rim 3 4% Cord Wrapped Stick 10% Linear In the January MORGAN CHAPTER NEWSLETTER a graph (4B) shows the number of horizontal lines around the rims of the Ontario Horizontal designed pottery vessels. Four lines are the most common; three are next more common. This graph is correct however, as since its printing, another rim has been found which has 11 lines around it. Three of the NOK rims are "scalloped", as shown in Fig. E. Many anvil stones, hammerstones, whetstones, sharpeners, celt fragments, flint scrapers, and triangular projectile points were also recovered from the site. A few "strike-a-lights" and one meadowood* point, probably a stray from Point Peninsula times were also found. To date, we can compare the NOK site chronologically with a somewhat similar site, the Oakfield Site. From this it appears that the NOK site is more recent than the Oakfield Fort, but not as recent as Kienuka, where cord wrapped stic k technique of decoration is completely absent.
