 (Four-fifths size.) 



Fig. 59. — Vessel of earthenware. Mound near Anderson's Bayou. (Six-sevenths size.) 



Mound near Large Bayou, Washington County. 



Large bayou unites with North bay about 3 miles up, on the E. side of the bay. 

 The mound, on property of Mr. A. J. Gay, owner of the Anderson's bayou mound, is 

 in an old field about one-half mile in a southerly direction from the head of the 

 bayour 



This mound, about four feet high and fifty feet across the base at the present 

 time, has been dug into for years and objects of interest are reported to have been 

 taken from it. Much of the remainder was dug down by us. 



Ten bunched burials w^ere met with, one having two skulls. 



On the base, below human remains, well in on the western slope of the mound, 

 was a quadrilateral vessel with incised decoration similar on each side. Maximum 

 diameter, 5.4 inches; height, 3.3 inches. 



Near a burial was a considerable number of sherds, probably a vessel crushed 

 to fragments. 



Also with a burial was an undecorated to}' pot. having a perforation of the base, 

 as had all vessels found by us in this mound.
