560 THE NORTHWESTERN FLORIDA COAST REVISITED. 
Near one side of our former 
digging and well in the eastern 
half of the mound, evidently be- 
longing to the general deposit of 
earthenware found at the time 
of our first visit, near together, 
were numerous sherds and a 
number of vessels, some having 
parts missing. These vessels 
were in the main uninteresting, 
being undecorated or having only 
bands of complicated-stamp dec- 
oration below the rim. One, 
however, is worthy of particular 
description. 
Beneath a mass of limerock 
lay a vessel in fragments, none 
of which was missing. These 
parts, carefully put together, 
formed by far the best human 
effigy-vessel we have seen from 
the Florida coast, though this is 
not high praise, the region, as is 
well known, not furnishing re- 
markable vessels of this class. 
The image, shown in Plate XVI, 
and in profile in Fig. 38, wears 
a kind of breechclout and seems 
to be bearing a pack. In the 
base is a hole made prior to the 
baking of the clay. 
So far as determined, all ves- 
sels from this place, except the 
effigy, had been “killed” after 
the baking of the clay. 
Eleven arrowheads and 
knives, of flint, and various parts 
of others, also numerous flakes 
of the same material, were found 
separately in the mound apart 
from burials. Also dissociated 
were found: nearly half a ban-
