Abstract
Hill describes the methods used to analyze the ceramics found at Todsen Cave. The different ceramic types are described - most were brownwares; refittings were attempted; the stratigraphy the various ceramic types were found in is described; changes in rim morphology are described; and petrographic analysis was conducted to determine sources of the temper. The temper indicates people lived east of the Rio Grands and seasonally occupied Todsen Cave.
