THE NORTHWESTERN FLORIDA COAST REVISITED. 563 
MOUND B. 
About 335 yards south southwest from Mound A was another, 5 feet 9 inches 
in height, having diameters north and south and east and west of 56 feet and 75 
feet, respectively. Two short ridges or causeways leading to the mound join it 
at about one-half its height, one on the southeast, one on the southwest, that on 
the southeast being 23 feet long by 24 feet wide, the other having a length of 38 
feet and a width of 30 feet. De- 
pressions in the soil around the 
mound and causeways showed 
whence the sand for their mak- 
ing had come. 
A trench 75 feet across at 
the beginning, including the east- 
ern part of the mound, was саг- 
ried in 21 feet, where it had a 
width of 38 feet. 
There was no deposit of ear- 
this mound, though sherds were 
fairly numerous at the margin of 
the excavation. Here and there, 
at various depths, a few vessels 
of inferior ware, plain or coarsely 
decorated, lay singly, the first 
being encountered 8 feet in from 
the margin. These vessels showed a basal perforation, as did all from this site 
where this feature was determinable. 
The burials, fifteen in number, very badly decayed, hardly more than traces 
in some instances, lay at various depths in proximity to the earthenware vessels, 
but not immediately with them. In one instance a bunched burial having re- 
mains of four skulls was indicated. 
Contrary to the general rule in this region, some artifacts had been placed 
with the dead. 
Burial No. 4, fragments of a skull, had with it a rude lancepoint of flint, 5.25 
inches long; an arrowhead of inferior workmanship; two bits of flint, probably 
knives; a small sandstone hone. 
Burial No. 5, parts of a skull, had in association three hones of sandstone, 
also three fragments partly worked, twenty-eight flakes and chippings, seven 
implements shaped in part, three portions of arrowheads and lanceheads, six 
rude arrowheads and knives, one lancehead 4 inches in length, all of flint. 
Dissociated when found, though burials originally with them may have de- 
cayed away, were: nineteen quartz pebbles, more or less round; a hone of fine- 
grained ferruginous sandstone.
