348 CERTAIN ABOEIGTNAL REMAINS OF THE NW. FLORIDA COAST. 



Vessel No. 5. — Another large vessel modelled after a gourd, found in fragments. 

 Vessel No. 6. — A double vessel of yellow ware, also of the gourd pattern (Fig. 

 340). There is a basal perforation. 



Vessel No. 7. — A small, imperforate vessel, with 

 rude, punctate decoration. 



Vessel No. 8. — An undecorated, perforate 1jow1 

 of about 6 quarts capacity, scaphoid in shape, with 

 red paint inside and out. 



Vessel No. 9. — Small, undecorated, Avith four- 

 lobed body. There are two holes for suspension ; 

 also a basal perforation. 



Vessel No. 10. — Of heavy ware, undecorated, of 

 about 1 pint capacity. In form this vessel resembles 

 an inverted acorn. There are two holes for suspen- 

 sion and a perforation in the base (Fig. 341). 



The next mound was a ridge 80 feet long by 58

feet across. The maximum height was 6 feet. The 

 highest portion was carefully trenched by us, yielding beside a number of burials, 

 three " celts," two of which are of a chisel-form, and a small undecorated bowl 

 with basal perforation. 



3 feet 4 inches high, 54 feet across the 



The third mound, circular in outline, 

 base, furnished one broken arrowhead as the result of careful trenching. This 

 mound was probably domiciliary. 



Mound on Hog Island, Levy County. 



Hog Island is a small key between the eastern and western passes into the 

 Suwanee river. 



The mound, but a short distance from the marsh, is in a dense mass of trees, 

 bushes, and palmetto scrub. Its height is 9 feet 3 inches ; its basal diameter, about 

 50 feet. 



This mound seemed to be a shell-heap covered with from 12 to 18 inches of 

 sand. A hole put in by a former digger, showed only shell, as did a large cavity 

 caused by the fall of a great tree. Trenches put in by us reached shell almost 

 immediately, and, after considerable digging in this material, the investigation of 

 the mound was abandoned. 



Mound on Pine Key, Levy County. 

 Pine Key, a small island, lies about one-quarter of a mile from a great shell- 

 heap on the mainland. This shell-heap, visible at a long distance from the Gulf, 

 the northernmost of the great shell-heaps of the west coast, lies about 5 miles in a 

 northerly direction from Cedar Keys.
