Recently I published a brief notice on constructional methods in pottery making, which occasioned a number of interesting comments. The majority of the communications and verbal discourses centered upon the seeming error, on my part, 'to exclude the paddle and anvil manipulation from the suggested classification.' It will be recalled that the notice in question stated: 'On the basis of the work thus far accomplished, the following classification ofstrictly manualbuilding methods of constructing pottery vessels may be suggested.' The emphasis onhand manipulationand the express limitation tobuilding proceduresappear to have made little if any impression on some readers. It seems in point, therefore, to outline briefly the function of the paddle and anvil in pottery making, as derived from my studies of literature and specimens, as well as from certain empirical knowledge. Admittedly, this note does not pretend to settle any problem nor to be conclusive; rather its aim is to call attention to the need of accurate technical detailing
