GANN] CONTENTS OF MOUNDS 5 AND 6 683 
This urn is 5 inches in height and 274 inches in circumference at its 
widest part, and is made of unpainted, unglazed pottery, one-eighth 
inch in thickness throughout. It is covered by a mushroom-shape 
lid with a small semicircular handle. Unfortunately, in lifting the 
flat stone which formed the roof of the cyst the point of the pickax 
was driven through the lid. Within this small urn lay the double- 
headed alligator shown in figure 1, plate xxxmr. This animal is 8$ 
inches long from the tip of one snout to the tip of the other. Pro- 
truding from the widely opened jaws of each of the heads appears 
a human face. The mouth of each of these faces is decorated with 
two small circular lip ornaments, one attached to each of its angles, 
all exactly similar to those seen on the mouth of the idol shown in 
plate xxx, 2. The faces where they are in contact with the animal’s 
jaws, and the jaws themselves, are daubed with red paint to represent 
blood; other parts of the faces and the whole of the body and: the 
heads of the animal are painted dark green. 
The third and last mound of this kind, 6 in the plan, was situated 
933 yards southwest of the large central mound. It was the smallest 
of the three, and was circular at the base, conical in shape, 30 feet in 
diameter, 32 yards in circumference, and 5 feet high at its summit. 
Nearly 2 feet below the surface, toward the center of the mound, a 
large quantity of very rude, ill-made pottery was discovered, together 
with the fragments of two pottery idols. One of these is by far the 
finest and most perfect found in any of the mounds. It is 164 inches 
in height from the top of the headdress to the sole of the sandal, 
and is shown in figure 2, plate xxxm. ‘The left arm was also found, 
but has not been joined on in the figure. The pieces were not all 
together, but were spread about over an area of two square yards. 
The other idol was so fragmentary that it was not worth figuring; but 
the lower half of the face, as it differed from all the rest in possess- 
ing a beard and mustache, is shown in figure 2, plate xxxrv. Two 
small, oval, clay beads were found with the idols. 
This mound was composed throughout of earth and large, rough 
blocks of limestone. Within 50 yards of it is an excavation of some 
size, from which the material to construct it was probably obtained. 
When the ground level was reached a small stone cyst built of roughly 
hewn slabs appeared. It was 2 feet long, 2 feet broad, and 18 inches 
high. When the stone slab which formed the roof was removed the 
urn shown in figure 7¢@ was found. This urn was circular in shape, 
114 inches high, and 37 inches in circumference at its widest part, and 
stood on three long, round, hollow legs. It was of unpainted pottery 
three-sixteenths inch thick throughout, and was coyered by a mush- 
room-shape lid with a semicircular handle. When the lid was removed 
19 small objects were found within the urn, completely filling it. Of 
these, 13 represent animals, 1 a fish, and + human figures, while 1 is
