CERTAIN ABORIGINAL REMAINS OF THE N. W. FLORIDA COAST. 487 



bowl were decaying fragments of a skull and other bones. Capping the bowl was 

 a large fragment of a vessel, inverted. Here for the first time on the Florida coast 

 we find the regular enclosed burial so often described by us as present along the 

 Alabama river and in mounds of the Georgia coast. 



Vessel No. 41. — This imperforate bowl was found inverted over fragments of a 

 skull of an adult. Part of the ware had been crushed in by a large root and the 

 bowl received a blow from a spade, in addition. The incised decoration is a variety 

 of scroll similar to that on Vessel No. 20 (Fig. 23) from the mound near Walton's 

 Camp. Maximum diameter, 16.3 inches ; depth, 8.3 inches. 



Vessel No. 42.— A bowl crushed to fragments by a large root, inverted over 

 the fragments of a skull of an adult. To one side lay a single shell bead. This 

 bowl was sent to the Peabody Museum, Cambridge, Mass. 



Vessel No. 43. — A perforate, six-pointed, or star-shaped, dish of black ware 

 with the decoration usual on these dishes, somewhat rudely executed, lay turned 

 over some fragments of bone resembling sawdust more than anything else. 

 Maximum diameter, 17.2 inches; depth, 4.2 inches. Holes have been drilled on 

 either side of a crack to permit the lashing together of the parts. This vessel, 

 which, as we have said before, is of an entirely new type, has been sent to the 

 National Museum, Washington, D. C. 



Vessel No. 44. — A bowl of yellow ware, badly crushed by roots. The dec- 

 oration is a form of the favorite scroll. 



Vessel No. 45. — A bowl found in contact with Vessel No. 44, having for 

 handles on one side, three rude models of birds' heads, one looking in, two looking 

 out, and on the other, the conventional bird's tail. The incised decoration, as might 

 be expected, represents conventional bird-wings (Fig. 103). Diameter of body, 7.75 

 inches; height, 2.7 inches. This vessel, part of which was badly crushed by roots, 

 lay over minute fragments of bone. 



Vessel No. 46. — An imperforate dish of yellow ware, of the six-pointed type, 

 found over certain bones of a child, with shell beads. This dish, badly crushed 

 when found, has been pieced together, showing the usual decoration on vessels 

 of this type. Maximum diameter, 18 inches ; depth, 4.7 inches. 



Vessel No. 47. — A bowl with basal perforation, found lying over a skull, 

 occiput down. Pressure against the chin had caused the side of the bowl to give 

 way. One foot distant and a little above the level of the inverted rim of the bowl 

 were certain long-bones. The skull, which was much better preserved than were 

 most from this cemetery, was sent with the bowl and sand for mounting, to the 

 Peabody Museum, Cambridge, Mass. The decoration on the bowl is similar to that 

 on Vessel 41 (Fig. 35) from the mound at Walton's Camp. 



Vessel No. 48. — A bowl found crushed to fragments, lying over the skull of 

 an adult. The pieces, carefully collected, were sent to the American Museum of 

 Natural History, New York City. 



Vessel No. 49. — A pot, imperforate, with notches around the rim and a
