THE NORTHWESTERN FLORIDA COAST REVISITED. 547 
number of feet in width, at which it continued to the end, where it broadened 
about 2.5 feet additionally, apparently to join Burial No. 1, the first to be en- 
countered in the digging. 
The vessels, complete or nearly so as a rule, though some lay crushed to 
fragments, all, where it was determined, had the mortuary mutilation of the base. 
About thirty-two nearly complete vessels were represented. On these but 
little decoration is apparent. With one exception, that on a large fragment, 
practically no incised design was encountered in the pottery of the mound. Two 
vessels have lines of punctate markings near the openings, and the small check- 
stamp, poorly done, is on several sherds. 
Some vessels bear in places a complicated stamp decoration, faintly impressed, 
and, as a rule, not covering the entire body. Some clearer designs, however, 
appear on a few of the pottery fragments. 
In form the vessels are generally commonplace and the workmanship dis- 
played in their making leaves much to be desired. 
In this eastern arm of St. Andrews bay, however, some fine examples of 
aboriginal earthenware were found at the time of our previous visit. 
The following vessels from this place are worthy of special note: 
Vessel No. 1, an effigy vessel of a rude description, having a human head in 
relief (Fig. 22). 
Fig. 23.— Vessel No. 3. Mound near Davis Point. (Height 5.1 inches.) 
Vessel No. 3 has a body composed of four lobes, above which is an upright 
neck about one inch in height (Fig. 23). Traces of red pigment are apparent 
on two of the lobes and around the neck.
