440 CERTAIN ABORIGINAL REMAINS OF THE N. W. FLORIDA COAST. 



design and always of flimsy material, with bases perforated during the process of 

 manufacture. This cheap ware was probably kept on hand and did duty for 

 vessels more valuable and less readily spared." 



In the mound at Walton's 

 Camp we met with this ready- 

 made mortuary ware in one case 

 only, the most westwardly occur- 

 rence in our experience. It is 

 interesting to note this fact since 

 perforation of the base made after 

 completion of the vessel occurs to 

 the westward and up the Alabama 

 river, though sparingly. 



We shall now give a descrip- 

 tion of the various vessels taken 

 from the mound by us and of 

 their finding. 



Vessel No. 1. — A vase, per- 

 forate as to base, found lying on 

 its side near human remains. The 



body, Oblate Spheroid, is decora- Fig. 15.-Vessel No. 1. Mound at Walton's Camp. (Half size.) 



ted with the current scroll. The neck, slightly flaring, has incised and punctate 

 decoration as shown in Fig. 15. Height, 6 inches; maximum diameter, 5.5 inches. 

 This vessel, when found, had parts missing, and, in addition, was struck by a spade.

Vessel No. 2. — An imperforate bowl found inverted over the skull and some 

 bones of a child, with which were two shell hair-pins and an arrowpoint or knife. 

 This bowl is 15.4 inches in maximum diameter and 7 inches in depth. It has an 

 interesting incised symbolical decoration. The design, which is repeated around 

 the vessel, is shown in Fig. 16.
