22 CERTAIN ABORIGINAL MOUNDS OF THE GEORGIA COAST. 



accidentally introduced, plain, with the ordinary square stamp, with intricate 

 stamped decoration and in one case, incised, were present, 



Eight tobacco pipes, whole or but slightly broken, of the same type as those 

 from the mound at Darien, came from different points in the mound. They lay in 

 immediate association with human remains, as in fact, did all artifacts discovered, 

 save only the sherds. Of these tobacco pipes, two of which we show in Figs. 12 

 and 13, one had incised decoration while several had encircling bands upon the

bowl. All were moderate in size, differing markedly from the great tobacco pipes 

 from the mounds of Duval Co., Florida. In the bowls of some remained carbonized 

 material — doubtless tobacco. 



Shell. — With numerous burials were shell beads, at times a few only and again 

 . in considerable numbers ; some minute in size, others — sections of columellas — over 

 1 inch in length. Nineteen of these longitudinally perforated sections were found 

 with one burial. 



Eleven pins of shell of the familiar type, none over 2.5 inches in length, were 

 with various crania, often with shell drinking cups. These drinking cups were 

 imperforate. One, with the skeleton of a child, was but four inches in length. 

 We have not met with so diminutive a shell drinking cup before. 



A number of fresh-water mussel shells [Unto Shepardianus)^ perforated for 

 suspension, lay with other objects near a skeleton. 



With a bunched burial 2 feet from the surface, were five implements wrought 

 from columella of Fzilgur carica, ground at the beak doubtless to serve as chisels. 

 In four the spire remained, from the fifth this portion had been removed. 



Stone. — Three small polished "celts," each about 2 inches in length, two about 

 double that size and a fine chisel 10 inches in length, with a maximum breadth 

 of 3 inches, a maximum thickness of .9 of one inch, lay with human remains. 



Two discoidal stones, each about 1.75 inches in diameter, one .75 of an inch in 

 thickness, the other a little over 1 inch, were found separately with human remains. 

 This is the southernmost occurrence of the discoidal stone in our investigations.
