CERTAIN ABORIGINAL REMAINS OF THE N^y. FLORIDA COAST. 321 



few pebbles. Three shell drinking cups, all perforate, lay with the earthenware 

 deposit. 



At the eastern edge of the mound began a deposit of earthenware, the usual 

 sherds, large fragments and whole vessels, placed here and there in black sand along 

 the base, through an area about 8 feet across, and continuing well in toward the 

 center. Among the sherds the check stamp was represented, and various forms of 

 punctate impressions as well as carefully incised work. Neither on sherd nor on 

 vessel did the complicated stamp appear, which probably accounts for the consider- 

 able number of interesting vessels present in so small a mound. 



Vessel No. 2. — A quadrilateral 

 vessel of about 1 quart capacity, 

 with rounded corners. The decora- 

 tion is made up of punctate lines, 

 and incised lines on the rim. On 

 each of two opposite sides of the 

 opening is a hole for suspension 

 (Fig. 306). 



Vessel No. 3. — A bowl with 

 incised and punctate decoration in- 

 cluded in four desians around the 

 upper part of the vessel, with un- 

 decorated spaces between. The lar- 

 ger are almost identical, as are the 

 smaller. One of each is shown dia- 

 Maximum diameter. 11.5 inches: height, 8.4 inches.

 ored, as were all vessels from this mound, with incised and punctate decoration 

 almost identical on opposite sides (Fig. 308). 



Vessel No. 6. — A four-lobed vessel with square aperture, shown in Fig. 309, 

 having incised and punctate decoration almost identical on two opposite lobes, the
