538 THE NORTHWESTERN FLORIDA COAST REVISITED. 
The covering bowls ranged in diameter between 18 and 6.5 inches, the latter 
fitting the skull like a cap, though such small bowls were exceptional. However, 
a few even smaller were found inverted over traces of bones presumably of infants 
whose remains had almost decayed away. In fact no bones from this place were 
in a condition to permit their preservation entire. 
The unenclosed burials at this site usually were only parts of the skeleton, de- 
caying and broken, most often including what had been the skull. Some of these 
burials are described in detail in connection with the artifacts a panying them. 
The interments, at various depths, were surrounded by gray sand and some- 
times extended into yellow sand which was the color of the undisturbed material 
of the site, except on the surface where the gray sand was found. Individual 
burials, however, were not distinctly marked, and it is likely the burials were 
made in groups, at times, at all events. 
This cemetery distinctly had not been a dwelling-site in which interments had 
been made, as we sometimes see elsewhere, no midden debris being on the surface 
or in the sand, and the shells of the oyster denoting the use of this bivalve for 
food were, as we have said, at some distance from the burials. 
With the unenclosed interments sometimes were artifacts, and also, occa- 
sionally with the urn-burials, in some cases under the bowls, and in other in- 
stances just outside the vessels. These accompanying artifacts included: glass 
beads with a number of burials; objects of iron or of steel, among which, in one 
instance, was a pair of scissors; shell beads; columella of marine univalves; rude 
shell implements; one shell ear ornament of the pin variety; thirteen celts, all 
wrought from imported rocks, between 2 inches and 8.5inchesin length; a graceful 
discoidal also of material foreign to Florida, 2.7 inches in diameter, slightly 
convex on each side, and having an even circumference permitting the object to 
roll in a direct course—doubtless a chungkee stone; four wrought stones in diam- 
eter from 1.6 inch to 2.6 inches, shaped like much truncated cones (save in three 
instances the upper side was somewhat convex), presenting, owing to the slanting 
surface of the periphery, a difficulty in keeping a straight line in rolling. Henry 
Timberlake in his “ Memoirs" (p. 77) speaks of a game played with stones 
having beveled sides. One of these stones had on the upper side a pit in which 
perhaps nuts had been placed for cracking. 
There was also a rude dise made from silicious material, most likely a pebble 
pecked into shape. 
With the burials as a rule, were twenty-four lancepoints and arrowheads or 
knives, nearly all very rudely made, owing perhaps to the inferiority of the flint. 
In only one instance among them, we believe, can a projectile point be differen- 
tiated from an implement for incision. 
With a burial lay a dise about 2.25 inches in diameter and 4 inches in thick- 
ness, approximately, which Doctor Keller has determined to be almost pure tin 
interiorly, having a sharply defined brownish-gray crust on the outside." Also 
! Curiously enough, this object has led to the discovery of a new salt of tin. Consult “A new
