Extract

Heinrich Berlin, in 1953 and 1954, conducted an archaeological survey of eastern Tabasco, Mexico, for the Department of Archaeology of the Carnegie Institution of Washington (Berlin 1954: 293–5). The pottery recovered was brought to the Institution's ceramic laboratory in Mérida, Yucatán, Mexico, for analysis and storage. Early in 1955, while Berlin was in Mérida preparing his final report on the Tabasco survey, I had opportunity to examine the material and note the occurrence of dentate and dentate rocker stamping on a ware called Fine Gray. Berlin found Fine Gray in abundance at the sites of Jonuta and Tecolpan on the Usumacinta River associated with untempered “Z” Fine Orange and a tempered Thin Black.
