AND BLACK RIVERS, ARKANSAS. 323 
cal bottles. The three remaining vessels had designs in red. Two of these will be 
particularly described, and figured in the plates, in connection with this place; the 
third, a rough, heavy bottle with a circular, flaring base, has the paint scaled from 
it to such an extent that the design is greatly impaired. 
The following burials present features of interest in connection with the 
arrangement of vessels. 
Burial No. 52, an adult skeleton, had near the head an upright bottle, over the 
neck of which a bowl had been turned so that the neck was entirely covered, the 
rim of the bowl resting on the body of the bottle. Another bow] was nearby. 
Burial No. 71, an adolescent, had an inverted bowl partly covering the skull 
and giving to the burial the appearance of a certain form of urn-burial. Upon 
examination, however, it became apparent that this position of the vessel was inci- 
dental and that the bowl had been inver- 
ted to cover a smaller bowl which had 
been placed upon the skull. 
Burial No. 94, a very young infant, 
had near it a small bowl in which, up- 
right, was a little effigy bottle. The 
bowl and the bottle are shown in Fig. 
46,in which, however, the bowl has been 
tilted slightly from the upright position 
in which it was found, in order to give a 
better view of the bottle. 
We shall now describe certain ves- 
sels from the aboriginal site near Turkey 
Island. 
Vessel No. 125. This bottle (Plate 
XXI) has four equidistant bands of red 
pigment running vertically on the body. 
Тһе background is a coating of gray 
clay. Around the neck are two circles 
of red pigment. 
Vessel No. 15. А bottle of coarse 
ware (Fig. 47), of a fairly common type 
in the region, having a collar modeled 
around the neck, and a tripod support. 
Vessel No. 84. A clumsily made, 
asymmetrical bottle, 8 inches in height, 
having a body formed from three lobes, 
and an annular, projecting base or foot. Fie 147.—Vessel Ха. 19. 
Vessel No. 117. This bottle (Plate 
XXII), of yellow ware, has had, as a background for a design in red pigment, a 
coating of light gray clay. The design consists of a four-pointéd star, the extremi- 
Mounds near Turkey Island. 
(Height 10 inches.)
