The surface collection was selected in a manner similar to that from J-15, Mound 1 (see p. 286), and produced a variety of decorated sherds, a miniature stone ax (fig. 132, b), and a pottery spindle whorl (fig. 136, b) (see pp. 372 and 380 for descriptions). Cut 1, meters square and excavated by 15-cm. levels, was begun in the area of highest elevation, 50 meters from the east end of the mound. The soil for the first 20 cm. was dark gray-brown loam containing many sherds and roots. The broken edges of a nest of four vessels were encountered in the second level on the northwest side, with the base of the largest resting at 55 cm. (fig. 89). The body of this jar (A), measuring 70 cm. in maximum diameter, was intact below the shoulder. Large sherds from the rim were broken off and inverted around the neck of the second jar, Avhich had been placed inside.
