ABORIGINAL SITES IN LOUISIANA AND IN ARKANSAS. 83 
way of decoration incised, upright lines around the neck. The body, which is 
without decoration, is hemispherical, the neck upright, the rim flaring. 
Near the skull of a badly disturbed skeleton was that part of a vessel which 
plowing had left. On four sides of the body are double, upright, beaded fillets, 
the most of the surface being covered with a design of trailed lines (Fig. 35). 
This vessel has been restored to some extent. 
Near fragments of bones lay a rude knife of chert. 
Another mound, about 3 feet in height and 80 feet by 90 feet in diameter, 
proved to be of raw clay with no sign of interments. 
SITE NEAR GODFREY’s LANDING, BRADLEY COUNTY. 
About one-quarter mile ina SW. direction from Godfrey’s Landing is a 
small clearing in woods, which has been under cultivation for a considerable 
period. It is higher than much of the surrounding country, and we were told 
it was not submerged in the great flood of 1912. This field forms part of a 
property under management of Mr. W. G. Wright, who resides on the place. 
The field to a depth of about 18 inches is covered with a black, sandy loam 
which evidently had received its color through aboriginal habitation. Scattered 
over the surface were fragments of human bones, bits of pottery of inferior ware 
and rude decoration, parts of mussel-shells, and three arrowheads of flint, two 
small and barbed, one elongated without barbs. 
Considerable digging by us in this field showed burials to have been com- 
paratively numerous there. Many, however, had been disturbed, by cultivation 
in most cases, occasionally by the rooting of hogs. 
The burials lay none deeper than 18 inches, sometimes in the dark loam, 
sometimes on the undisturbed, yellow sand which underlay the loam. 
In addition to the disturbed burials, five others were unearthed, complete 
though badly decayed, four of adults, one of an adolescent, all extended at full 
length on the back, the heads variously directed. No artifact lay with any 
burial at this place. 
SITE NEAR MoonE's Мил, BRADLEY COUNTY. 
At a place called Moore's Mill, probably through the former presence of a saw- 
mill there, and which is known also as the Jack Fogle Place, after the name of a 
former owner, is a property belonging to Mr. Samuel Clanton, who lives near 
Johnsville, Ark. 
On this property, which is immediately on the river bank, are three mounds, 
two within a large cultivated field and one just outside. 
Over the field in places is much dwelling-site débris, including many bits of 
pottery of rather less than average excellence. 
There were collected by the party: three small celts, given away before iden- 
tification as to their material; many delicate, barbed arrowheads of flint; one 
barbless point of the same material, nearly three inches in length; a flint knife 
with rounded cutting edge. |
