OUa 3 contained two adult skulls and many bones, but no artifacts. 

 011a 4 contained the bones of one adult including a mandible but 

 no skull; no artifacts were in the urn. 



Olla 5 contained the bones of three individuals including three skulls, 

 but no artifacts. 



Olla 6 contained the bones of two adults and one infant but no 

 artifacts. 



This find unit represents a burial assemblage which, with the ex- 

 ception of other similar but smaller finds in Mound II, is rare at the 

 site. Class "e" urns were not recovered outside of Mound II and 

 the only Jobo variety pottery outside of Mound II consisted of 19 

 sherds from the uppermost level of Trench 7. 

 Find 14. Located in Mound II, Trench 2, at depth of 1.2 m.; north 3.3 m.; east 

 profile. 



14-1, 14-2, and 14-8. Three miniature ring-based plates or shallow bowls 

 with red-slipped interiors but buff colored and roughly finished ex- 

 teriors; diameters in 10-11 cm. range. 



14-3-14-7. Five miniature Red-buff class "a" collared jars; diameters in 

 7-12 cm. range. 



14-9. A large Red-buff class "e" collared jar with four loop handles 

 placed vertically on the shoulder. 



14-10. Olla cover; open bowl about 30 cm. in diameter and 9 cm. deep 

 with two loop handles crisscrossed on the center of the convex surface; 

 entire exterior including handles is red-slipped as is the interior lip; 

 remainder of interior is polished buff-brown; lip unmodified. 



Comment. The large urn or jar contents included a stone bead, perforated 

 teeth which were presumably part of a necklace, a piece of white lime, 

 and a burial. Thus the unit is very similar to Find 10, especially in 

 the close resemblance between Find 14-9 and Find 10, Olla 1, and 

 between Find 14-10 and the cover of Olla 5 in Find 10. 

 Find 15. Located in Mound II, Trench 2, at depth of 30 cm. in southwest corner. 



15-1. Collared jar, class "e" with probably two horizontally placed loop 

 handles; diameter 38 cm. 



15-2. Ring-based collared jar with shoulder bosses (see fig. 56, i-j); vessel 

 too fragmentary to reconstruct the diameter, but diameter of ring 

 base is 16 cm. 



Additional sherds. A few fragments of a deep, 32 cm. wide bowl with a 

 plain lip, blackened interior, and unslipped gray-buff exterior were 

 present as well as sherds from a large Red-buff ware collared jar; it 

 is not clear whether these sherds belong to the find unit or were from 

 the surrounding fill. 



Comment. Both urns were inverted and apparently were not burial urns. 

 Find 15-2 appears to be almost a duplicate of Find 17-2 and, according 

 to field observations, the two finds were probably part of the same 

 cache. 

 Find 16. Located in Mound II, Trench 2, adjoining Find 14. 



16-1. Wingless bird effigy jar, Jobo variety. 



16-2-16-3. Two small (diameter 11 cm.) ring-based shallow dishes, one 

 with a highlj^ polished red-slipped upper surface and an unslipped 

 rough under surface; entire surface of other is unslipped and rough. 



16-4-16-5. Two small Red-buff collared jars (diameter 10 cm.), class "a"; 

 both are roughly finished and have a lumpy surface; bases almost flat. 



16-6. Large collared class "e" jar with four vertically placed loop handles
