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



Fig. 45.— Sherd. Mound at Walton's Camp. (Half size 



midden refuse in the mound. Fig. 45 represents a head, a series of which evidently 

 ran around the vessel. The drawing is made from two fragments, one of which 



shows one portion of the head; 

 the other, the remainder. Fig. 

 46, when turned on end, shows 

 a head with eye, mouth and 

 teeth. 



In the cultivated field to 

 the west of Mr. Brooks' house 

 and about one-quarter of a mile 

 in a westerly direction from the 

 great mound, in full view from 

 the Sound, is a sand mound at present 7.5 feet in height. It had been much dug 

 into before our visit. Careful in- 

 vestigation on our part met with 

 no success and confirmed our be- 

 lief that the mound had been 

 erected for domiciliary purposes. 



Various small mounds are in 

 the neighborhood of the great one 

 investigated by us. Careful dig- 

 ging convinced us that all were 

 of a domiciliary character. In 

 one containing midden refuse with 

 much shell was a piercing imple- 

 ment of bone and a buck-horn 

 handle with a socket to receive 

 an implement. fig. 46.-Sh, 



Mound near Don's Bayou, Choctawhatchee Bay, Santa Rosa County, Fla. 



Gamier' s Bayou is near the western extremity of Choctawhatchee Bay. Don's 

 Bayou enters Gamier' s Bayou on its western side. 



In scrub, about 200 yards in a westerly direction from the landing, at the 

 head of Don's Bayou, in a field on Government property showing signs of early 

 cultivation, is a mound of irregular outline, greatly spread by the plough, appar- 

 ently. The major and minor basal diameters are 80 feet and 50 feet respectively. 

 The present height is 3 feet. Thorough trenching showed the mound to be of sand 

 and probably erected as a dwelling site. 



Mound near Black Point, Choctawhatchee Bay, Walton County, Fla. 

 About one-quarter mile in a northwesterly direction from Black Point, in 

 scrub, formerly a cultivated field, on Government property, is a rather symmetrical 

 mound of circular outline with basal diameter of 83 feet.
