282 CERTAIN ABORIGINAL REMAINS, MOBILE BAY. 
Bunched burials—125. 
Skeletons at full length on the back—4. 
Skeletons at full length, face down—3. 
Burials to be described particularly—7. 
One skeleton lay face downward as far as the knees, the legs being drawn back 
against the thighs. 
In a little pile were most, if not all, of the bones of a child, including the 
skull. 
Two burials were lone skulls in fragments. 
One skeleton lay partly flexed on the back, the knees upturned and directed 
toward the left. 
The skeleton of an infant lay alone. 
Near the northeastern margin of the mound lay the skeleton of an adult, on 
its back, with head to the east, the skull turned slightly to one side. Completely 
covering the skull, the rim resting on some of the cervical vertebra, was an inverted, 
imperforate bowl, the base but 8 inches from the surface. This bowl (Fig. 1), of 
solid ware, having a maximum diameter of 11.75 and a height of 3.75 inches, bears 
an interesting, incised decoration consisting of a variety of symbols, a portion of 
which, representative of all, is shown diagrammatically in Fig. 2. 
Fic. 1.—Bowl found turned over skull. Mound on Simpson Island. (Diameter 11.75 inches.)
