484 CERTAIN ABORIGINAL MOUNDS, APALACHICOLA RIVER. 



The base is somewhat flattened to allow the vessel to maintain an upright position 

 (Fig. 147). 



Vessel No. 8. — A vessel of about 4 quarts' capacity, of inferior, yellow ware, 

 found in fragments, and restored in places (Fig. 148). The interesting, incised and 

 punctate decoration, shown diagrammatically in Fig. 149, is repeated on the oppo- 

 site side of the vessel. 



Fig. 147. — Vessel No. 7. Mounri near Aspalaga. (Half size.) 



Vessel No. 9. — Certain parts of a large human effigy-vessel were met with at 

 different levels in the mound and often many feet distant one from another. Part 

 of the base, some of the body, and the face, with the exception of a fragment of 

 the lower left-hand part, were recovered and have been cemented together, with con- 

 siderable restoration which, however, was clearly indicated by portions present. An 

 interesting and novel feature is perforations in the eyes and ears (Fig. 150). A 

 number of other vessels, broken and scattered in the way this figure was, were 

 present in the mound.
