 Charlotte Thompson Place. (Full size.) 



The third is undecorated (Fig. 45). 

 The two latter lay with human remains. 



Stopper-shaped Object. — In caved 

 sand was an object of earthenware re- 

 sembling a mushroom in shape, having 

 a height of 1.5 inches; a maximum 

 diameter of 2.5 inches. This may have 

 served as a stopper for a water-bottle 

 (Fig. 46). 



Piercing Implements. — A number of 

 piercing implements of bone of the usual 

 type, often badly decayed and broken, 

 came from the mound ; also a bone imple- 

 ment showing oblique wear at one end, 

 the use of which we cannot determine. 

 Anklet. — At the feet of one skeleton were a number of tines in close associa- 

 tion, cut from stag-horn, which had doubtless been attached to an anklet. Similar 

 ones came from near the wrist of a skeleton in the cemetery at Durand's Bend. 

 Fish-hook. — Reference has been made to this.

" CeltsT — Excluding broken implements, there came from the mound, nearly 

 always with burials, thirteen hatchets and chisels of the usual rocks, from 3 to 7 

 inches in length.
