526 THE NORTHWESTERN FLORIDA COAST REVISITED. 
Almost due east in the marginal part of the mound began a deposit of pottery, 
broadening to a width of about 3 feet and continuing well toward the center. 
This deposit, not continuous, strictly speaking, included only one vessel that 
could be said to have been buried entire, and in many instances it was certain 
that parts only had been put into the mound. 
So inferior is the ware that nearly all the deposit was in small fragments. 
In addition to considerable undecorated ware is one piece having a scanty design 
composed of incised parallel lines, and a number of others bearing complicated 
stamp decoration. One of these is shown in Fig. 5. 
On the opposite side of the mound, alone, were fragments of most of an un- 
decorated pot. 
In the northern part of the mound, somewhat in from the margin but by no 
means central, was a grave of rather indefinite outline, about 6 feet long and 3 feet 
3 inches wide, extending about 3 feet below what we considered to be the base of 
the mound. This grave contained traces of a considerable quantity of bones, 
including a skeleton almost at full length, three additional skulls, a small pile of 
long-bones, and other bones here and there.
