ANTIQUITIES OF THE OUACHITA VALLEY. 161 
Vessel Хо. 15. А pot of inferior, dark ware, with flat base. having on the 
upper part of the body an incised, intertwining meander, and around the neck, 
bands of chevrons, also incised (Fig. 172). 
Vessel No. 30. A pot almost the counterpart of the foregoing with the excep- 
tion that the one in question somewhat exceeds the other in size. - 
Vessel No. 14. This vessel, of inferior, yellow ware (Fig. 173), has an incised 
decoration similar to that on several vessels figured as coming from the Ward Place 
and elsewhere in the Ouachita valley, and which we shall consider to represent the 
eye, until something better is suggested. 
Several other places on Mrs. Leavel's plantation, which, judging by debris on 
the surface, were likely to prove places of burial, were carefully dug into by us 
but without success. 
About 1.5 mile, following the road from Seven Pines Landing, is the farm of 
Mr. T. E. Hudson, who resides nearby. 
A field about ten acres in extent, forming part of the property of Mr. Hudson, 
was acquired by him some years ago from Mr. 
V. N. Brodnax, living near Brodnax, La. 
This field, long under cultivation, has been 
celebrated for years for its yield of plummet- 
shaped pendants of hematite, a number having 
been found by Mr. Brodnax, and at least a dozen 
by Mr. Hudson, according to his statement—all 
having been turned up by the plow. There is 
no history of the finding of human bones on the 
site, though a cemetery may have been there in 
the past, the bones having been destroyed through 
cultivation, the hematite pendants remaining. 
One of these pendants, received from Mr. 
Hudson by Mr. S. J. Harrell, of whom we shall 
have occasion to speak again in connection with 
exploration on his property, kindly was presented 
to us by Mr. Harrell. The specimen, neatly 
made, 3.5 inches in length, has a countersunk 
FIG. 174.—Pendants of hematite. Brodnax. perforation at one end. Another pendant of 
РНИ the вате sort was obtained by us from the воп 
of Mr. Hudson. These pendants are shown in Fig. 174. 
Much digging in this field was without positive result. 
CEMETERY NEAR Bray LANDING, MOREHOUSE PARISH, La. 
In a cultivated field forming part of the extensive plantation of Mr. 5. J. 
Harrell, who resides near Mound Landing, and of whom mention has just been 
made, is a hardly perceptible elevation about one-half mile SSE. from Bray Landing.
