668 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. vol. 46. 



Plate 54. 



Photograph of the grave shown more clearly in figure 5. The camera was placed 

 at the foot of the grave, looking almost due west. The smaller compartment, con- 

 taining the single skull, is not visible. 



Plate 55. 



Casts of fragments of pottery found near the large spring. The upper specimens 

 (a and b) represent the inner surfaces of rather coarsely woven baskets. The lower 

 example (c) shows basketry, similar to b, covered with a piece of cloth of remarkably 

 fine texture. 



All specimens are reproduced exact size. 



Plate 56. 



a. — Detail of a bag, made of buffalo hair, now in the Pitt-Rivers Museum, Oxford, 

 England. Enlarged one-half. 



b. — Cast of a fragment of pottery from near the large spring at the mouth of the 

 Saline. Enlarged one-half. Evidently the fragment b represents the imprint of a 

 fabric similar to a. 



c. — Cast of a fragment of pottery showing the impression of a very coarse, irregular 

 net. Exact size. 



Plate 57. 



Casts of fragments of pottery, all shown exact size. 



a. — This bears the imprint of two pieces of cloth, neatly joined. 



b. — Two pieces of cloth are represented. The piece on the left overlaps the exam- 

 ple on the right. 



c. — Three distinct materials may be traced on this fragment. On the left is a 

 coarse cloth; on the right is a fabric similar to b, plate 56. Between these is an 

 exposed surface suggesting 6, plate 55.
