CERTAIN MOUNDS OF ARKANSAS AND OF MISSISSIPPI. 509 
Joutel' (1687) tells in a most interesting way how the Cenis (Hasinai, or 
Caddo) Indians of Texas, in celebrating a successful battle, held out scalps toward 
the four directions. 
Vessel No. 139 is a bowl (Fig. 26) similar to the one just described, with the 
addition of equidistant, festooned bands of red pigment between the arms of the 
cross. These semicircles probably represent (a part for the whole) entire circles, 
or sun symbols.” 
Ес. 25.—Vessel No. 171. Near Menard Mound. (Diameter 7 inches.) 
NEAR SAWYER'S LANDING, ARKANSAS COUNTY. 
Sawyers Landing is five miles, approximately, by water, below Arkansas 
Post, on the same side of the river. 
About one mile in a southeasterly direction from the landing is the home of a 
colored family named Johnson, in front of whose doorway is a small mound in 
which our search was not rewarded.
