nary types present in the mound, we 
shall describe the others in detail. 
Vessel No. 1.—A vessel of com- 
pact, yellow ware with decoration of 
incised, encircling lines, cross-hatch, 
and punctate marking, shown in Fig. 
17. А part of the vessel, missing 
through early breakage, has been 
restored. 
Vessel No. 2.—A vessel of good, 
yellow ware (Fig. 18). The base, 
which is missing, was almost flat. 
The incised and punctate decoration 
is shown diagrammatically in Fig. 19. 
Vessel No. 3.—Almost ovoid in 
shape, decorated inside and out with 
a uniform coating of red pigment. In 
addition, the upper part of the vessel 
head, some somewhat larger, 
others smaller. The number 
of these masses with what had 
been a single burial ranged 
from one to four. Numerous 
other masses of this stone were 
present in the mound, perhaps 
marking places where burials 
had wholly decayed. 
Beginning at the eastern 
margin of the mound and 
continuing well toward the 
center, was the usual deposit 
of earthenware consisting of: 
scattered sherds; fragments of 
parts of vessels, placed to- 
gether; vessels in fragments; 
considerable parts of vessels; 
and a few entire ones. 
The decoration presented 
no new features. When the 
incised variety was present it 
was inferior to the best met 
with on the Chattahoochee.
