330 CERTAIN ABORIGINAL REMAINS OF THE NW. FLORIDA COAST. 



Fig. 319.— Vessel No. 10. Mound near the Aucilla river. (Tliree-fourtlis size.) 



Mounds near the Econfenee River, Taylor County. 



About 200 yards in the hammock, in a northerly direction from the " fish- 

 camp," which is about 3 miles up the Econfenee river, on the left hand side, going 

 up, is a mound 3.5 feet high and 50 feet across the base. This mound, the only 

 place of refuge for stock, from the water of storm tides, was occupied by a family 

 who had erected a small house on a portion of the western par-t and an out-door 

 kitchen on part of the eastern side. 



The mound was carefully trenched, with the exception of the part on which 

 the house stood, digging being carried on within the kitchen. 



The mound, of white sand, yielded nothing in the way of artifacts with the 

 exception of a pebble-hammer, an arrowhead or knife and several bits of chert.
