Pap. No. 32] LOVEWELL RESERVOIR—NEUMAN 297 
A similar sherd was recovered from site 25DK7 in northeastern Nebraska, a 
village site attributable to the Upper Republican Aspect. A small globular ves- 
sel from the Dooley site (25FR3) exhibits similar traits (Strong, 1935, pl. 21, 
fig. 1, b). This site, located in Franklin County, Nebr., about 50 miles northwest 
of the Russell Mound, is assigned to the Upper Republican Aspect. 
Twelve of the body sherds are cord-paddled on the exterior surfaces. They 
are grit-tempered with particles of sand and crushed quartz ranging from 1 to 
2 mm. in diameter. Nine of these sherds have smoothed areas in which the 
cord impressions are obliterated; they show an average of about five parallel 
impressions per centimeter. Three sherds have fine cord-paddling with as 
many as eight parallel impressions per centimeter. One sherd, a neck-and-shoul- 
der section, has vertical cord-paddling up to the juncture of the neck, where it 
shows horizontally brushed impressions. The sherd suggests a vessel with 
rounded shoulders, constricted neck, and a Slightly flaring rim. Thicknesses of 
all the body sherds range from 2.5 to 7.5 mm., with a median of 5 mm. Nine 
of the sherds are buff in color, and three are gray. Hardnesses range from 2.5 
(eryolite) to 4 (fluorite). 
One sherd is shell-tempered and buff in color. It is chalky in texture and 
appears smoothed on the exterior surface. This sherd was found in the 6- to 
12-inch level in the disturbed portion of the mound. Similar sherds were re- 
covered from the White Rock site (14JW1) and the Warne site (14JW2) in 
the Lovewell Reservoir. 
STONE 
Nine fragments of flint were recovered. One piece is a roughly modified core 
of gray flint. It is 47 mm. wide, 53 mm. long, and 29 mm. thick. Six small, thin, 
unmodified flakes of chert and jasper were scattered throughout the mound. 
Two specimens of worked jasper were recovered from the surface of the mound 
prior to excavation. One piece is a section of a drill or point. The tip and 
basal portions are missing. It is triangular, with very slightly convex sides. 
In cross section it appears diamond-shaped, with a noticeable increase in the 
amount of beveling on the faces of two alternate sides. The specimen is 13.5 
mm. wide, 23.5 mm. long, and 5 mm. thick. The other stone specimen is 
triangular and is broken along one side and the base. The intact side has fine 
secondary chipping along the edge, but only on one face. It is 16.5 mm. wide 
at the base, 23.5 mm. long, and 5.5 mm. thick. The specimen is too fragmentary 
to suggest more than a cutting or scraping implement. 
SHELL 
Two conch-shell (Busycon contrarium Conrad) pendants were located in the 
funnel-shaped portion of the pit. The first pendant was encountered 8 feet 7 
inches below the surface. The surrounding matrix was composed of burned 
limestone rocks and a few fragments of human bone. Dark-colored soil had 
infiltrated down from the surface as a result of the disturbance caused by 
amateurs, but the specimen was discovered in situ. It is trapezoidal in form 
and has a circular perforation near the top. The pendant measures 92 mm. in 
length, 75.5 mm. in width at the bottom and 39 mm. at the top. The hole 
which is 4 mm. in diameter and appears to have been worked from the interior, 
is located 22 mm. down from the top edge and is equidistant from the two sides. 
A portion of a second hole, drilled from the interior, appears along one edge, 
9 mm. below the top (pl. 57, c). The second shell pendant, located immediately 
above the floor of the pit at a depth of 5 feet below the surface, was surrounded
