the melting of the snow and icicles on the face of the cliff, the soil 

 in the outer half of the shelter was too moist to permit excavation. 

 Because of the small size of the shelter — 35 feet by 30 feet — it was 

 expected that the floor would not yield abundant remains. No 

 burials were found in the cave. All artifacts recovered were chance 

 inclusions in the midden deposit of the cave floor. 



Pottery 



Sherds from this site are largely cord impressed of medium thick- 

 ness, fairly hard, and gravel tempered. The gravel seems to be 

 made of crushed limestone or white chert which had been partially 

 calcined. Generally these sherds are to be distinguished super- 

 ficially at a glance by the unusual depth of the cord impressions. It 

 appears that these cord impressions were not all made by a paddle, 

 but that some were impressed by rolling over the surface a small 

 cord- wrapped cylinder. This type of sherd is shown in plate 83, a. 

 There is no evidence of lugs, handles, or other forms of decoration. 

 However, one sherd as shown appears to be the base of a vessel of 

 this type having four legs. 



Plain sherds, gravel tempered, occur rarely. The only other type 

 of pottery found here is the stamped ware shown in the lower right- 

 hand corner of plate 83, a, which is not relatively abundant. This 

 is also gravel tempered. 



Artifacts 



The artifacts consist chiefly of crude limestone hoes, as shown in 

 plate 83, 5, and crude limestone pestles. There were no mortars or 

 lapstones found in association, and these crude pestles may be little 

 more than hammerstones. A few arrow points, as shown, were found, 

 together with fragments of a stone tube and a two-hole steatite 

 gorget. This last specimen is especially interesting because, having 

 been broken, it shows evidence of attempted repair. Two small 

 cylindrical holes were cut near the broken edge. The original holes 

 in this gorget are conical as if made by flint reamers. 



Conclusions 



From the evidence obtained it appears that this site is related to 

 Site No. 3 and has little, if any, apparent affiliation with any of the 

 mound sites. 



Site No. 13.— BULLOCK CAVE 



Approximately half a mile from Lindsay Mill, in Campbell 

 County, is a cavern known for many years as Bullock Cave. From 

 its position, surroundings, and formation it was rather well adapted
