550 THE NORTHWESTERN FLORIDA COAST REVISITED. 
Hare Hammock.” This mound, 3 feet in height and about 45 feet in diameter, 
was in an abandoned field, the property of Mr. E. E. Harrison, of Farmdale, Fla., 
and had been under cultivation. It was about 400 yards north from the head of 
St. Andrews sound. On one side of the mound was a depression caused by the 
removal of material for its making. Numerous low shell deposits were nearby 
in the hammock. It was completely dug down by us. 
Thirteen burials, one a disturbance by recent digging, were encountered 
throughout the mound, the deepest 3 feet down, all very badly decayed. Of the 
twelve burials found in place, two were of the flexed variety, the rest being small 
bunches of bones, parts of skeletons, or mere fragments of them. 
Four burials, including one of the flexed kind, had no shells in association, 
Of the remaining eight, six lay with deposits of shells (Busycon perversum and 
Fasciolaria, mostly the former), not numerous enough to be called in layers, 
above and beside them. | 
Two having regular shell deposits in connection with them will be described 
in detail. 
Burial No. 5, partly flexed on the left, lay beneath a shell deposit of irregular 
outline, 5 feet 8 inches long by 3 feet 
6 inches in width, and about 20 inches 
in thickness, approximately. In line 
and in contact with the foregoing, 
extending in toward the center of the 
mound, was another deposit of shells, 
4 feet 8 inches by 2 feet 7 inches, and 
of the same thickness as the other. 
From it, extending farther in, was a 
kind of arm, 2 feet 5inches in length 
by 10 inches wide. Beneath this de- 
posit and the extension only a single 
fragment of a femur (Burial No. 6) 
was found, the rest of the skeleton 
probably having decayed away. 
With a few of the burials were 
fragments of earthenware, some un- 
decorated, some bearing a compli- 
cated stamp faintly impressed. 
Apart from the burials were an un- 
decorated pot and numerous sherds, 
mostly undecorated, some in little 
piles, also a very rude celt of sedi-
