Near the right hand were the fragments of a small vessel of pottery, and at 
the right wrist were two minute shell disks with remains of copper boss iD а

The right humerus bore the green stain of carbonate of copper, marking the 
former presence of the metal there. à 
At the right shoulder lay a shell drinking-cup, carefully smoothed as to the 
exterior surface, but without engraved decoration. 
Over the left elbow lay a fresh-water mussel-shell (Unzo), badly decayed. 
At the left shoulder, the flat surfaces parallel, were two imperforate, undeco- 
rated, shell disks, each about 1.5 inch in diameter, and seven rudely-elliptical вес- 
tions of shell, each 1.25 inch by .4 inch, approximately. 
Along the left wall of the grave (at the risk of repetition we would remind the 
reader that it was that part of the grave to the left of the skeleton as it lay) was a 
deposit of fifteen arrowpoints, slender, like nearly all from the mound, the maxi- 
mum 1.5 inch in length, eight of flint, seven of rock-crystal. A number of the pro- 
jectile points in this deposit were rudely made and several were imperfect. With 
this deposit was a bone determined by Prof. F. A. Lucas to have belonged to a 
collared peccary (Tayassu angulatum), an animal now extinct in Arkansas. 
At the neck were forty-eight pearls perforated for stringing. 
At each side of the skull, at the ears, was a shell disk, 1.75 inch in diameter, 
having a boss of sheet-copper, centrally placed upon it (Fig. 37). Each disk has a

central perforation to allow of attachment to some object to be placed behind the 
lobe of the ear, in this case made of perishable material. 
Transversely on top of the skull was a shell bead, 3 inches in length, similar 
to two found on burials in the mound proper. 
Eighteen inches to the right of the skull a group of earthenware vessels had 
been placed, two of which, small, undecorated pots, were intact, the remaining ves-
