274 ANTIQUITIES ОЕ THE ST. FRANCIS, WHITE, 
head was a considerable quantity of ground oxide of iron having a purple hue. At 
the pelvis were: a bottle, and a bowl having within it another bowl inverted. 
Burial No. 7, an extended skeleton of a child, had, near the skull, a bottle 
with a short neck, which was covered neatly with a small, inverted pot, the rim of 
which rested on the body of the bottle, thus keeping the neck intact and the interior 
of the bottle free from clay. Near these was a bowl turned over another bowl, which 
was itself inverted. 
Burial No. 8 lay a little more than 2 feet below the surface, in an extended 
position so far as it went, the upper part of the thorax and the skull having been 
cut away by a later burial. This burial (No. 8), it should be borne in mind, though 
found without associated objects, had lost that part with which artifacts usually 
are found. 
Burial No. 9, at full length on the back, 3 feet 8 inches below the surface, had 
at the skull a bowl inverted over a bottle. Аё the left tibia were eight neatly-made 
projectile points of flint, leaf-shaped, as are practically all arrowheads found along 
St. Francis river. 
Burial No. 10, a child, extended on the back, 3 feet down, had a bowl on one 
side of the head and a bottle on the other side, the opening covered with a mussel- 
shell much decayed. 
Burial No. 11. This burial, which had been cut away from the thorax upward, 
formed part of what had been a skeleton extended on the back. At the right knee 
were two vessels. 
Burial No. 12, a young child, 3.5 feet down, had a pot at the left side of the 
skull. 
Burial No. 13, at full length on the back, 42 inches down, had at the right side 
of the skull, but somewhat above it, five vessels, one of which, a small pot, was 
inverted over the opening of another vessel, while two of the remaining three ves- 
sels had mussel-shells in association. At the left side of the skull was a sixth ves- 
sel. Near the greater deposit of pottery was a piercing implement of bone. 
Burial No. 14, badly disturbed by a later burial, had, at the left elbow, an 
earthenware vessel, and near the left foot a pipe of earthenware, having projections 
extending outwardly from the base of its bowl, a type common in Arkansas. 
Burial No. 15, an aboriginal disturbance, 5 feet in depth, had a lot of small, 
round pebbles at the left hand, and a bowl at the left of the pelvis. Beneath the 
bowl was an antler of a deer, having two tines cut from it. 
Burial No. 16, a child, extended on the back, somewhat more than 3 feet from 
the surface, was without artifacts—this fact emphasizing their almost uniform 
occurrence with burials in this cemetery. 
Burial No. 17, a small child, lying at a depth of 3 feet, had a pot at the right 
of the skull. 
Burial No. 18, extended on the back, at a depth of 2.5 feet, had at the neck a 
single shell bead, and at the left hand and forearm a bottle and a bowl. 
Burial No. 19, a very young child, somewhat less than 2 feet down, lay with
