542 THE NORTHWESTERN FLORIDA COAST REVISITED. 
The pottery deposit commenced at the margin of the east northeastern to the | 
east southeastern part of the mound, and continued in about to its center, though | 
in greatly diminishing quantity. A few whole vessels had been put in (all having 
the mutilation of the base), but parts of vessels and deposits of fragments of 
various vessels mixed together predominated. In decoration the small check | 
stamp and the complicated stamp are represented, while one small vessel has a 
rather faint, incised design. Two sherds of the same vessel, which had borne an | 
interesting incised decoration, were found a considerable distance apart. A 
small bowl has a kind of meander design incised and punctate. |
