SOME ABORIGINAL SITES ON RED RIVER. 603 
“These symbols seem to have been intimately associated with the religious 
ideas of various American tribes, but especially with those of the Mississippi ЗЕН 
both historic and prehistoric.” ; 
Mr. Willoughby’s paper on “ Ап Analysis of the Decorations upon Pottery 
from the Mississippi Valley” * is of great service to those interested in the pottery 
of Southern United States. 
We now take up the description of individual vessels from the Foster Place. 
Vessel No. 93. There is shown іп Fig. 98 an interesting vessel which we 
believe to be of a new variety. The body, covered with deep, trailed decoration, 
is circular with four equidistant projections, which are hollow and contain objects 
which rattle when shaken. The body of this vessel rests on four upright supports, 
which are joined to a base roughly annular in shape. 
Vessel No. 25. This vessel is in all respects similar to Vessel No. 93, except 
as to size, its height being 3.6 inches. 
Ета. 99.—Vessel No. 198. Foster Place, Ark. (Height 4 inehes.) 
Vessel No. 198. The vessel shown in Fig. 99 resembles the two just described 
as to the form of supports and base. The body, however, which is without the 
hollow projections, is thickly covered with small knobs. This vessel is partly 
filled with green pigment, glauconite, the constant use of which on vessels at this 
place has already been described.
