490 CERTAIN MOUNDS OF ARKANSAS AND OF MISSISSIPPI. 
number of bone pins, some with carved heads, lying parallel one to another in a 
heap (Fig. 2). 
Burial No. 46, a skeleton lying partly flexed on the right side, had, near 
the skull, a water-bottle and a vessel of a conventionalized shell-form, this latter 
vessel lying inverted over a mass of kaolin—white clay used by the aborigines for 
paint. Glass beads were near the skull. 
Burial No. 48, closely flexed on the right side, had, at the skull, a bottle 
and two inverted bowls, in one of which latter was a musselshell. 
At the chin of the skull were four pebbles, one pebble-hammer, and a mass of 
kaolin. 
Burial No. 69, two feet down, was a bunched burial, very symmetrically 
arranged, the long-bones parallel, smaller bones stowed in between, the presence of 
fifteen humeri showing that the remains of at least eight individuals were repre- 
sented in the burial. Though a number of lower jaws were present, only a single 
fragment of any other cranial part was found. 
Burial No. 73 was the remains of a skeleton of a child, with an undeco- 
rated bowl and Vessel No. 103, a fine, polished effigy bottle of black ware (Fig. 
16), representing a seated child with chubby legs extended, no doubt the property 
of the child when alive. 
Burial No. 78, an interesting bunched burial, similar to several found by 
us near the Menard mound, consisted of a little pit with a lot of long-bones care- 
fully put in perpendicularly, and surmounted by a skull. Near the skull were two 
vessels, one on its side and in contact with the bones. 
Burial No. 160, partly flexed on the right side, had shell beads at the neck; a 
water-bottle near the skull; and near the bottle a mass of red pigment, to which 
allusion has already been made, and which Dr. H. F. Keller has determined to be 
a mixture of clay and oxide of iron, with a not very high percentage of the latter. 
There were found near the Menard mound, glass beads with four burials ; brass 
beads or small ornaments of brass, with five burials; and copper beads with one 
burial. 
In one instance, a small mass of iron, badly rusted, lay with brass; and once 
small ornaments were во badly decayed that it was impossible to determine whether 
they were of brass or of copper. 
Under the skull of a skeleton lay a small stone hatchet, and several hatchets 
(one of hornstone having an extremely sharp cutting edge) were found apart from 
human remains in the midden debris where most of the burials were. A grace- 
fully-made hatchet of fair size, from the Wallace field, was given by us to Mr. 
Wallace, without determining the stone of which it is made. 
Small quantities of shell beads lay with several burials. 
With a burial was a tooth kindly identified by Prof. F. A. Lucas as the right 
upper incisor of a beaver. We are also indebted to Professor Lucas for identifica- 
tion of other material from dwelling-sites in the neighborhood of the Menard mound, 
as follows: a single canine tooth and the lower jaw of a black bear; part of the
