156 CERTAIN ABORIGINAL REMAINS OF THE NW. FLORIDA COAST. 



recovered, have since been restored (Fig. 49). The decoration, incised, is carefully 



executed. One-half of it is shown diagrammatically in Fig. 50, the other half 



being a repetition. 



Vessel No. 9. — A bowl of inferior 

 ware, about 1 quart capacity, has a cross- 

 hatch design rudely executed. An up- 

 right protuberance about .25 of an inch 

 in height, projects from the rim on one 

 side. 



Vessel No. 10. — This vessel, of 

 rather soft yellow ware, found badly 

 crushed with certain parts missing, pre- 

 sumably, since the sand was carefully 

 sifted, would hold about 3 quarts. The 

 lower part is semiglobular, slightly flat- 

 tened at the base. The upper part of 

 the body is hexagonal. The neck ex- 

 pands slightly. The decoration consists 

 of six semicircles over curious incised 

 designs varying but slightly one from 

 another, in fields of punctate markings. 

 Impressions of jjoints fill the spaces be- 

 tween the junction of the ends of the 

 semicircles and the neck (Fig. 51). 



Vessel No. 11. — A jar of graceful 

 outline, unfortunately much broken at 

 the base, bearing the check stamp deco- 

 ration (Fig. 52). Present height, 14.5 



inches; maximum diameter, 7.5 inches. 



Vessel No. 12. — A bowl with quadrilateral rim bearing incised and punctate 



decoration as shown in Fig. 53.

 (Half size.)
