SOUTHERN MOUND PIPE. 



(Caldwell County, North Carolina. 



fat. Xo. S304S, U.S.N.M. Collected by J. P. Rog.ll 



A plain bowl pipe from Tennessee, with (|uite n short stem, in the 

 I)ou<;lass collection, has a similar loop. 



Fig. 227, also a i)ottery specimen, from the Etowah Mound, Bartow 

 County, Georgia, collected by Dr. Ifoland Steiuer, is uiad(^ from a brick- 

 red pottery, apparently containing no tempering. The ty])c is the 

 same always, though in this specimen 

 the disks are very pronounced and the 

 edge of the bowl is flared ; encircling the 

 bowl are a row of six of these knobs with 

 rounded surfaces, below which are four 

 others. The stem is partly broken, 

 though enough remains to show that it 

 flared, as does the bowl. 



Fig. 228 is also of pottery, found by 

 Mr. J. P. Eogau in Bradley County, Ten- 

 nessee. There is a difl'erence between 

 this pipe and the others, though bowl 

 and stem hold relative proportions in 

 conformity to the type; the i)ottery is red 

 and the bowl flares somewhat, though 

 the stem is shorter than is usually the 

 case, the bottom of the bowl resembling the curve of the human knee. 

 Fig. 229 is in many respects similar in its characteristics to this tyi^e. 

 This pipe is from Loudon County, Tennessee, and is made from a light- 

 red clay, with very little admixture of tempering material. The bowl 

 has a pronounced flare, and the specimen is 3 inches long, the top of 

 the bowl being 2 inches wide. A peculiarity of the bowl of this pipe 

 is that it is rectangular in its opening, as though a square plug had 



been driven into the clay while 

 it was yet in its plastic con- 

 dition. It was found by Mr. 

 J. W. Enimert. 



Fig. 230 is made of an un- 

 usually hard-burned pottery, 

 which was found iu the Eto- 

 wah Mound, Bartow County, 

 Georgia, being about 3 inches 

 long. The resemblance to the 

 human leg in this figure is 

 striking, the knee being 

 slightly bent, the thigh form- 

 ing the bowl, as the lower 

 part of the leg does the stem, and above and below the supposed knee 

 are a number of incised lines. As in the tubular pipe from the ruin of 

 Sikyatki', New Mexico, bowl and stem each flare gradually. A pipe of 

 similar form was found in the Lenoir burial i)lace, though without the 

 incised lines, and is now in the collection of the U. S. National Museum.
