tern side of the mound, extending out a few feet from it were ten vessels, some 
having parts missing in addition to the ceremonial hole broken in the base. 
Three of these merit partieular deseription: 
A vessel of yellow ware having a globular body and an upright neck, around 
which is a decoration made by imprints of some implement (Fig. 25).

incised decoration including portrayal of a bird's head, inverted, on two opposite 
sides. The designs between these heads vary somewhat and are represented in 
diagram, Fig. 27. 
In Fig. 28 is shown a beautiful representation of a gourd in hard, smooth 
ware, bearing an incised decoration conferred with considerable care. Unfor- 
tunately a small part of the stem end of the gourd is missing through an early 
fracture. 
About 400 yards northwest by west from the mound just referred to was the 
fme mound in which such interesting earthenware vessels were found by us, 
described in our 1902 report! as the “ Larger Mound in Hare Hammock.’” 
A small remainder of the western part of this mound, left by us at the time 
of our first visit owing to the presence of recent burials, was dug down by us, 
this season, the burials having been removed.

2 [t seems to be doubtful if the hammock in which this mound was situated ever bore this name, 
generally at all events.
