CERTAIN ABORIGINAL REMAINS, BLACK WARRIOR RIVER. 229 
Fig, 151.— Vessel No. 17. Ridge north of Mound R. (Height 6 inches.) 
ance in the pit in which these vessels were, and as disturbed skeletons (of children) 
were near at hand, it is possible that these vessels, originally placed at the head of 
a skeleton, owed their final position to the general disturbance that had prevailed in 
the pit. Vessel No. 20, which had a small perforation somewhat above the base, 
was found among roots of a tree, and had sustained a fracture of the rim through 
their agency. Presumably the perforation on the side is traceable to the same cause.
