AND BLACK RIVERS, ARKANSAS. 345 
had been similar to the two already described. Its base is flat like that of the pipe 
from Mound B. 
Half-tone representations of the earthenware pipe and the stone pipe, from 
Mound A, were submitted by us to Mr. Joseph D. McGuire whose report on these 
pipes, based on his great experience in such matters, is highly valued by us. 
The pipes, according to Mr. McGuire, seem to be extremely interesting speci- 
mens of the Monitor type and certainly would be classed as such if only their bases 
were flat—especially in the case of the stone pipe which apparently has some feat- 
ures belonging to the Siouan type. Mr. McGuire, however, does not know of the 
occurrence of the Siouan type so far west as Arkansas, though pipes of this type 
are common from Maine to Georgia along the Atlantic seaboard, and as far west as 
the mountains, as may be seen by Mr. McGuire’s “ Pipes and Smoking Customs of 
the American Aborigines." ! 
The earthenware pipe from the Chandler Landing mound, according to Mr. 
McGuire, apparently belongs to the same type as does the one of stone, and is 
unique so far as Mr. McGuire recalls. The large bowl, as is well known, is com- 
mon to the Arkansas pipes, but the small perforation in the stem appears to be 
typical of the Monitor type. While the earthenware pipe is in its exterior similar 
to pipes found from South Carolina to New Jersey, the perforation of the bowl and 
the stem in the earthenware pipe is different in proportions from those found in 
the others. 
Also Mr. McGuire considers the finding of the earthenware pipe and the stone 
pipe in the same mound to be an extremely interesting thing. 
Unfortunately the half-tone representation of the stone pipe from Mound B 
near Chandler Landing was not prepared in time for us to submit it to Mr. 
McGuire. While the stone pipe from Mound A shows a flattening of the base, 
a broken pipe from Mound A as well as the pipe from Mound B show a more 
decided flattening and seem to be still more confirmatory of Mr. McGuire’s belief 
that the pipes from this place are of the Monitor type. 
Four boat-stones came from this mound. Of these we shall speak later in 
connection with two others found in Mound B nearby. 
Throughout the mound, usually apart from burials but sometimes with them, 
were eighteen lanceheads and arrowheads of flint, all found singly with one excep- 
tion where four lay side by side with a burial. Also with a burial lay a finely 
wrought leaf-shaped blade of flint, 9.75 inches in length and having a maximum 
width of 2.3 inches. 
Near the leaf-shaped blade was a rare form in stone (Plate XXVIII), 8.3 
inches in length. The material is probably green quartzite. This object, which 
resembles a chisel in shape, is in reality a ceremonial axe, as is evident from the 
mark left plainly upon it by the handle. 
Not far from this ceremonial object, and also in association with bones, was 
another, of slate, of the same type, 10.5 inches in length.
