| Description | Thin-walled deep globular bowl, with a buff-colored exterior and dark brown interior matrix. Tempered with both grog and shell. Two rows of crescent shaped indentations below the rim. Surface treatment somewhat resembles the Carabelle Punctated type. Broken into two pieces, with another section missing. It also appears to have been “killed;” there is a hole in the bottom of the vessel. The number twenty-six is written in pencil on the outside of the vessel – it may correspond with Vessel no. 26 from the series figured in Certain Aboriginal Remains of the N.W. Florida Coast. No description is given in this publication (the descriptions skip from No. 25 to No. 27 in text) so this cannot be confirmed. |
