ANTIQUITIES OF THE OUACHITA VALLEY. 145 
Vessel Хо. 426. А bowl of yellow ware (Fig. 145), with a handsome, trailed 
meander-combination shown in diagram in Fig. 146. 
Vessel No. 383. А bottle of good, black ware, ovoid body with flattened base 
and slight swelling of the neck (Plate VIII). Тһе body of the bottle bears a 
decoration dividing it exteriorly into four equal parts by a like number of series of 
three lines each, running vertically. Two opposite series consist of unbroken, 
parallel lines. The median line of the other two series parts somewhat above the 
middle of the body, while the including lines extend outward at the same place. 
All these lines, incised, have at one time contained brilliant red pigment, which 
still remains in places. In our representation of this bottle the color is shown with 
slight restoration in the places whence it has disappeared through lapse of time. 
Vessel Хо. 365. А short-necked bottle of soft, yellow ware, 5.2 inches in 
height, coated over the exterior with red pigment. This bottle resembles in every 
way many found along the Arkansas river. 
Vessel No. 451. A bowl of porous, yellow ware, 6.3 inches in diameter, which 
has been decorated throughout the interior with crimson pigment, much of which 
still remains. Beginning at the rim an encircling band of similar pigment ex- 
tends downward on the outside a distance of 1.75 inch. On two opposite sides of 
the aperture are projections through which holes for suspension have been made 
vertically. 
Vessel No. 415. A bowl similar to Vessel No. 431, with the exception that 
the parts devoted to suspension are absent. 
Vessel No. 428. А bottle of porous, brown ware, 5.2 inches in height, with a 
faint incised design four times shown (Diagram, Fig. 147). 
Fre. 147.— Vessel No. 428. Decoration. (About two-thirds size.)
