THE NORTHWESTERN FLORIDA COAST REVISITED. 533 
Mounp A. Near the west side of Mullet creek, about 400 yards from the 
beach, was a rise about circular, 18 inches in height, having a diameter of 25 feet. 
It was dug completely away by us, nothing being met beyond a few sherds. 
Fia. 13.— Vessel No. 13. Mound near Pippen’s Lake. (Length 6.75 inches.) 
Movunp B. A rise about one foot in height, circular, having a diameter of 
about 36 feet. The rise was entirely dug away, yielding nothing except a few 
sherds, a very rude arrowhead or knife, and a small deposit of oyster shells, 
perhaps the debris of a meal eaten while the mound was building. 
Mowunp C. About 18 inches in height, with diameters 22 feet and 35 feet. 
The mound was completely demolished. In several places were fragments of 
skulls and of long-bones badly decayed. About one foot. below fragments be- 
longing to a skull, was а celt probably of igneous rock, 7.8 inches in length. 
In a pile near the center of the mound were parts of four vessels, but not 
nearly the complement of any one. Three had borne the small check stamp and 
one had been undecorated. 
Movxp D. This rise, on property belonging to Mr. D. S. Sellars, of Bolton, 
Fla., also in Big Hammock, was at the terminus of a low ridge, making the dimen- 
sions of the artificial part of the rise somewhat hard to determine. Probably a 
height of 2 feet and diameters of 42 feet and 60 feet would be approximately 
correct. 
The eastern, and as it happened, the higher part of the mound, was entirely 
dug down by us, care being taken to keep the digging along undisturbed yellow 
sand where graves below the base could be detected, if present. A single, small 
sherd was the only object encountered.
