AND BLACK RIVERS, ARKANSAS. 311 
With the exception of pottery, objects placed with the dead at this place were 
unimportant. In one vessel were a number of flint chips and one flint pebble ; 
under another vessel lay a small flint arrowhead. 
Burial No. 13, in addition to a bowl and a bottle, had, in a little pile, a large 
number of pharyngeal teeth of the fresh-water drum-fish, which Prof. F. А. Lucas 
kindly identified for us. 
At the right of the skull of Burial No. 14 was 
bones of a small fish. Under the 
right shoulder was a bottle; and 
under the right elbow, a bowl in- 
verted over one dumb-bell shaped 
shell bead, a large bone bead, and 
many fragments of small dumb-bell 
shaped objects of half-fired clay. 
With Burial No. 31, an adult, 
were at the skull, a bowl, a bottle, 
and an earthenware pipe (Fig. 35) 
having hardly more than rudiment- 
ary supports projecting from the 
base of its bowl. 
With Burial No. 48, a child, 
was a marine shell, a young Fu/lgur 
a pot containing a number of 
perversum, perforated at the beak. FrG. 35.—Pipe of желек With 4. No. 31. Neeley's

beads, a few to each burial, nearly all badly decayed. 
With two of the burials having beads of shell, both 
of children, were in one instance, the canine tooth of a 
bear, perforated for suspension at the proximal end; 
and in the other (Burial No. 98), a gorget of shell 
shaped to resemble a turtle (Fig. 36) and having an 
interesting perforation for attachment, namely, where 
the hole enters and leaves the ornament on the same 
side. We had occasion to speak of this form in con- 
nection with two objects from the Rose Mound. 
Each of two burials had an ear-plug of shell. Pre- 
sumably the mates to these escaped our search or had 
been lost through previous disturbance. 
One burial had a pair of shell ear-plugs, and 
two interments had each a gorget of shell, decayed 
and broken beyond restoration. 
With one burial was a small bead of sheet-metal, decayed through and through, 
coated with carbonate of copper, and having bones near it, colored green as if other 
beads had disappeared leaving only this trace behind.
