Sinner Linear Punctated is a type which so far has been confined to Bossier and Haley foci (Suhm and Jelks, 1962: 143; Webb, 1948: 114) and the four sherds of this type from the Smithport Landing, although similar in paste, thickness and color to the Alto sherds, are probably referable to the subsequent (presumably) Bossier period at this site. Two are rim sherds; one of these ([Fig. 9], G) has parallel, vertical linear punctating; another ([Fig. 9], H) and a body sherd have horizontal lines; the fourth is uncertain. All have linear nail punctating and the more typical linear tool punctating is absent.
D. Stamped Types
One sherd of Chevalier Stamped is small (3 × 2 cm.) but has definite rocker stamping. It is of firm paste, tan exterior surface color with a black fire cloud at one edge, and black interior. Paste is homogeneous clay-grit with several bone fragments (accidental?); both surfaces are smoothed but not polished. In general appearance it resembles many of the Alto sherds from this site.
E. Ridged Types
The eleven sherds of Belcher Ridged type ([Fig. 10], G, H) are generally thinner and darker than the Alto wares. Six are dark chocolate to black on both surfaces and through the cores; the other five have light buff to dark gray surfaces, four of these with black cores. One is bone tempered, all others clay-grit. No rims are represented and the body sherds are 3 to 5 mm. in wall thickness. Typically, the elevated ridges are vertical.
F. Brushed and Brushed-Incised types
There are 38 sherds of the Pease Brushed-Incised type ([Fig. 10], A-F). The paste is smooth, clay-grit tempered except for one bone tempered; interiors are smoothed, exteriors roughened all over with the decoration. The color range is about as for other types; eight sherds are chocolate brown to black and slightly soft. Thickness is 4-5 mm. in 13 of the 38 sherds, 5 to 9 mm. in the remainder. The vertical panels characteristic of this type are separated by notched applique ridges in 28 ([Fig. 10], B, D-F), by rows of tool or nail punctations in seven ([Fig. 10], A), and by applique nodes in three ([Fig. 10], C). The panels are roughened by diagonal incisions in 24 instances ([Fig. 10], A, C), by vertical incising in 10 ([Fig. 10], E, F), by horizontal incising in one, and by brushing in three ([Fig. 10], B, D).

N-S, Late Glendora Focus sherds (N, S, shell tempered, incised; O, P, engraved, untyped; Q, linear punctated, untyped; R, Hodges Engraved).
Karnack Brushed-Incised type (Suhm and Jelks, 1962: 85) is applied to barrel-shaped vessels with everted rims, decorated with vertical incising or brushing. Thirty-four sherds from Smithport fit this category, although it is possible that some of the vertically incised body sherds derive from Kiam Incised or Weches Fingernail Impressed vessels. There are only three rim sherds, one rolled ([Fig. 10], L), the other two everted. The paste, temper, color range, and wall thickness are no different from other types; seven of the sherds are dark chocolate brown in color. Only six sherds are less than 5 mm. in thickness and the average is 6.5 mm.; brushing is used on six of the sherds, vertical incising on the others, varying from firm to sloppy and scratchy.
