576 PREHISTORIC VILLAGES IN TENNESSEE [eTH. ANN. 41 
sherds belonging to any one of these vessels were identified in this 
large mass of fragments; but enough were found to allow reasonable 
accuracy in restorations. These restorations probably illustrate 
nearly all the sizes, shapes, and colors of the domestic vessels of this 
flexed-burial people of mound No. 2. A few sherds were found 
belonging to vessels with shapes entirely different from any repro- 
duced here. Unfortunately there was not a sufficient number of rec- 
ognizable fragments 
of these to allow 
reasonably accurate 
restorations.
