312 ANTIQUITIES OF THE ST. FRANCIS, WHITE, 
With the skeleton of an infant were two ear-plugs of earthenware, and the 
burial of a child had a chisel made from a quartz pebble, lying below two bowls. 
There were found also, though not in connection with human remains, five 
disks made from fragments of pottery vessels, each with a central perforation, and 
one disk of the same material having two holes; a piercing implement of bone and 
a bone implement having a rounded point; six bone piercing implements with the 
articular parts remaining; a tubular bead of bone; two small arrowheads of flint ; 
two ear-plugs of pottery, of the type resembling a short, blunt pin,—found sepa-

silicious limestone, and dark-green silicious rock; a pipe of earthenware, coarsely

in height with a basal diameter of 5 inches. Extending downward from the apex 
is a circular hole 2.5 inches deep and somewhat more than half an inch in diameter. 
The second of these cones resembles the first, but the third has three holes, one on 
top, like the others, but with the addition of two shallow ones on opposite sides 
somewhat below the apex. 
One hundred and seventy-five vessels of earthenware, broken and whole, many 
hopelessly crushed, were found by us at this place. Of the vessels recovered 
seventy-one were left with Mr. Wood, the owner of the property, who is interested 
in archeological research. 
A considerable number of burials at this place were without artifacts of any
