456 SOME ABORIGINAL SITES ON MISSISSIPPI RIVER. 
о 
The earthenware found by us at the Bradley Place does not equal in point of 
interest that from some other sites in the Middle Mississippi region, and includes 
few of the rarer forms. Тһе ware, sometimes with shell tempering and sometimes 
without it, is occasionally of fair quality. It is practically without incised decora- 
tion and the use of pigment is evident on it in but nine instances. Of these nine 
examples, four are vessels originally having had a uniform coating of red pigment; 
two have simple designs in red on yellow ware; two, decoration in red and cream: 
color; and one, in red, cream, and black. 
The following vessels are worthy especial description : 
Vessel Хо. 28. This vessel, or rather the body of a bottle, (Fig. 45), lay at a 
fire-place. It was also about one foot from a burial, but this proximity presumably 
was adventitious. 
Ета. 46.— Vessel No. 94. Bradley Place, Ark, (Height 8.3 inches.)
