rank among vessels from the Lower Mississippi region, whose aboriginal potters, 
when Ший Ponit efforts were exerted, excelled all others in incised decoration, in 
the region now known as the United States. The regularity of the lining on this 
vessel and the evenness of the cross-hatch work are remarkable (Fig. 6). 
Vessel No. 24. This handsome bottle has a well-executed, incised decoration

piece may be considered a good example of the better, but not of the best, pottery

Vessel Хо. 1. This vessel (Fig. 8), which we think may ђе classed as a bottle, 
is of hard, yellow ware, and bears an incised design based on circles, triangles, and 
the swastika.
