The Papys Bayou Incised type is a Late Woodland pottery type from the Central Gulf Coast and Manatee regions. The type shares the same definition, ware characteristics, geographical range, and chronological position as Papys Bayou Plain. According to Willey 1949:443, the type "tends to utilize fine-line incision."

As described by Willey 1949:443:

Definition as a type: Central Gulf Coast and Manatee regions

Ware characteristics: Indistinguishable from the soft gry or buff Biscayne or St. Johns ware. It is temperless, scratches with fingernail, and is 7 to 8 mm. thick. Surfaces usually polished.

Decoration: Much like Weeden Island Incised, but the range of design is not so great. Tends to utilize fine-line incisiom. Emphasizes conventionlization of design as seen in the Weeden Island Incised of the Weeden Island II of Period.

Form: Much like Weeden Island Incised except more limited. There are fewer unique or effigy forms. Flattened globular bowl and jar shapes most common.

Geographical range and chronological position: Central Coast and Manatee region. Also extends eastward into peninsular Florida as a minority type. Probably both Weeden Island I and II, but more common in the later period.
