ANTIQUITIES OF THE OUACHITA VALLEY. 131 
Vessels from the Keno Plantation possess several features worthy of note. 
The length of neck of a number of the bottles is unusual: some of the bottles have 
a swelling of the neck similar to that of many bottles from Glendora. The flat 
base characteristic of the pottery of the Ouachita region was not so markedly present 
at the Keno Place as it was in some other localities. 
The presence of a vessel of the “ teapot” variety, coated with red pigment, 
in the Keno Place cemetery, is interesting. But one other vessel of this type was 
found by us in our season’s work. It came from Glendora, as stated in the account 
of the cemetery there, and bears lined decoration on black ware. We have said in 
our report on the antiquities of the Arkansas river that vessels of this type are found 
only in eastern Arkansas and nearby regions, in which latter territory the Keno 
Place and Glendora are included. 
Although, as we have said, vessels of an inferior class predominated in the 
cemetery at the Keno Place, there were a number of notable exceptions, both as to 
shape and as to decoration, and these, with some other vessels from the place, less 
noteworthy but illustrative of the pottery of the region, will now be particularly 
described.
