Vessels of earthenware, later, will be assigned a place to themselves. 
Burial No. 8, only teeth, had with it a brass disk 5.75 inches in diameter, 
which fell to bits on removal; three fragments of chert; and а large bead, fashioned 
from a conch (/w/gur) by drilling a hole through a part of the shell including a 
portion of the shoulder, and leaving attached on each side, great wings consisting 
of portions of the bodywhorl of the shell. 
Since visiting the cemetery at Old River Landing on the Arkansas river,’ we 
have obtained from that place ten beads exactly similar in type to the one just 
described, which were found with three others, it is 
said, with a burial in digging in the garden of the 
principal dwelling on the place. As these beads are in 
better condition than the one from Glendora, we show 
one of them in Fig. 8. Its maximum diameter is 2.25 
inches. 
Burial No. 19, traces of teeth, had associated with

impure quartz were, respectively, 1.8 inch and 2,7 inches in diameter. 
Burial No. 36, fragments of a skull, was associated with a single pebble of chert.

ware, under one of which was another chert pebble showing wear.

bunched burial was indicated, had a brass disk 2.5 inches in diameter; another 
with a diameter of 7.75 inches; a large shell bead; two implements of iron or of
