524 THE NORTHWESTERN FLORIDA COAST REVISITED. 
landing on the left-hand side, near which is the property of the R. E. L. MeCaskill 
Co. of DeFuniak Springs, Fla., to which we are indebted for permission to explore 
its numerous properties. About one-eighth mile in a southwesterly direetion 
from the landing, on fallow ground belonging to the company, was a mound 28 
feet in diameter, evidently much spread by eultivation. Its height was about 14 
inches. This mound was completely dug through by us.

In the margin, exactly in the eastern part, was a ceremonial deposit of pottery, 
the vessels all small or of moderate size, some undecorated, some bearing the

With this deposit was the crown of a human tooth, an indication of a burial. 
In two other instances in this mound burials were found consisting of traces 
of a skull and other bones. With one of the burials were fragments of charcoal. 
About 6 feet from the deposit of pottery was an undecorated bowl somewhat 
crushed. 
About three-quarters of a mile southerly from the first mound, also on fallow 
land and belonging to the same owner, was another mound, evidently much 
affected by the plow, 30 feet in diameter and 16 inches in height. This mound 
was entirely demolished by us. In the margin and almost due east in the mound 
was a small, undecorated pot. 
Northeasterly in the mound were a skull and parts of other bones, 1.5 foot 
distant from which were four pots together, the largest 7 inches in height and 5.5 
inches in maximum diameter. These are of rather inferior ware, one undeco- 
rated, one having incised lines below the opening, two with encircling bands of
