THE NORTHWESTERN FLORIDA COAST REVISITED. 565 
At our first investigation no artifacts were found with the dead. At our 
second visit, however, while the absence of artifacts might still be considered a 
general rule, there were exceptions to it, as follows: 
Burial No. 19, closely flexed to the right, had at the feet an undecorated bowl 
with the usual mutilation, and the remains of a shell drinking-eup. 
Burial No. 35, flexed to the right in a shallow grave 7 feet below the summit- 
plateau, unaccompanied by masses of rock, had at the right knee a small arrow- 
head or knife, of flint, whose presence possibly was adventitious. 
Burial No. 40, closely flexed to the left, having with it two other skulls and a 
few other bones, without masses of limestone, had a shell drinking-cup with the 
mortuary mutilation in the base. 
About half a dozen parts of vessels in fragments, and piles of sherds from 
various vessels, were found singly in different parts of the mound in the second 
investigation, and a pot (Fig. 37), square in cross section, having à complicated 
Fic. 37.— Vessel of earthenware. Mound on the Lewis Place. (Height 4.1 inches.) 
stamp decoration around the neck, came from about where we discontinued our 
digging at the time of our first visit.
