SOME ABORIGINAL SITES ON RED RIVER. 549 
assume that the personage honored by the erection of this mound (and there seems 
little reason to doubt that such was the intention of the builders) would have been 
favored with the best earthenware the place afforded, but the vessels deposited 
with this burial were mainly of the kitchen variety, while nearly all the rest 
were without striking decoration. 
We here close the account of the individual burials. 
As stated, but one kind of pipe of earthenware (with a single exception) was 
found at the Haley Place, though, as we have seen, a considerable number of pipes 
were unearthed there. 
The pipes in question, with bowl and stem of one piece and ranging in length 
between 5.5 and 22.6 inches, have bowls resembling inverted, truncated cones placed 
on the stems (which are circular in transverse section), some distance from the 
terminations of the stems, which extend beyond the bowls. These projecting parts 
are invariably hollow and would serve as receptacles for undesirable liquid material 
derived from the smoking of tobacco or other plants, though we have no knowl- 
edge that the ends were made hollow for that purpose.

in length.) 
These projecting parts, which probably bring the pipes within the class known 
as “monitor,” terminate in three ways: in points; in blunt points; or flat, the 
end having little or no diminution in the diameter of the stem, as shown in Fig. 39. 
The ends of the stems destined for the mouth are not diminished in diameter
