320 ANTIQUITIES OF THE ST. FRANCIS, WHITE, 
the right. Two other burials, namely, that in the roots of the tree and the calcined 
deposit, of course, are excepted also. The deepest burial among those outside the 
mound was somewhat more than 4 feet down, but the burial originally had not 
been of this depth, as it lay beneath unbroken strata which had formed after the 
time of the burial. 
Lying apart from burials in the various sites outside the mound were: a per- 
forated disk made from a fragment of a pottery vessel; two chisels wrought from 
pebbles of flint; а small “celt” of disintegrating sandstone; a discoidal stone; a 
cone of half-fired clay, 6 inches in height and 4.5 inches in basal diameter, having 
two holes opposite each other about two inches above the base; an ellipsoidal 
object of earthenware with a shallow groove around the middle, slightly ridged 
longitudinally, 3.75 inches long, 2.5 inches maximum diameter. Objects much - 
resembling this one are figured by Professor Holmes! as having been for use in 
slings among California aborigines. 
There were also found singly, in the various sites, four pipes of earthenware, 
one of which is shown in Fig. 44.

Apart from any burial was an earthenware pot containing seventeen decaying 
mussel-shells, arranged side by side on edge, five of which had been perforated for 
use as hoes. Other hoes and mussel-shells were found during the digging. 
The following burials had accompanying artifacts other than pottery : 
Burial No. 69, a child, had a shell gorget (Fig. 45) of the type representing 
a human face, and somewhat similar to the one already described and figured in the 
account of the Rose Mound. This gorget lay on the right side of the thorax, the 
engraved side down. A bowl also had been placed with this burial.
