CERTAIN ABORIGINAL REMAINS OF THE NW. FLORIDA COAST. 305 



shown in the figure as the margins of the fracture had been carefully smoothed and 

 offered no surface into which the parts could be fitted. 

 We shall give the burials in detail. 



Burial No. 1. — A few crowns of human teeth, with two rude arrowheads; three 

 bits t)f sandstone ; one pebble, fiat, oblong, with corners evidently artificially 

 rounded ; a rude smoking pipe of clay, of ordinary type. 

 Burial No. 2. — A few human teeth. 



Burial No. o. — Two small fragments of bone with two sheet-copper earplugs 

 having central bosses in conca\e spaces. The reader will recall that with earplugs 

 found by us in the mound at Huckleberry Landing were discs of pottery which, 

 going back of the lobes of the 

 ears, held the copper discs in 

 place. Presumably discs an- 

 swering the same purpose as 

 the pottery ones, in this case, 

 had been made of wood.

 ments of human bones, with
