TRAVELS IN 
indigo, corn, and potatoes *, with many other forts 
of efculent plants. I obferved, amongft the fhells - 
of the conical mounds, fragments of earthen vef- 
fels, and of other utenfils, the manufacture of the 
ancients : about the centre of one of them, the rim 
of an earthen pot appeared amongft die lbells and 
earth, which I carefully removed, and drew it out, 
almoft whole : this pot was curiouily wrought all 
over the outfide, reprefenting bafket work, and was 
undoubtedly efteemed a very ingenious perform- 
ance, by the people, at the age of its conftruCtion.
