Ohio archæological and historical quarterly . eanshell. A fire of grass and twigs had been kindled over the grave,and as the pipe was deposited on top of the cremated remains it Explorations of the Edwin Harness Mound. 175 suffered most and was broken into a dozen pieces, but all of thepieces were secured and the pipe is now fully restored, as shownin the photograph, Fig. 58. The pipe is made of limestone, plat-form in design, with a slightly curved base, bold and symmetri-cal in outline. The bowl rises from the center of the slightlycurved side of the platform and slightly increases in diameter tothe middle of the bowl, where it gradually decreases, forminga symmetrical concave depression around the entire bowl, whichagain increases in diameter at the top of the bowl, where it is thesame diameter as the base of the bowl. That platform of thepipe is five and one-fifth inches in length, one and one-half inchesin width, and three-fourths of an inch in thickness. The bowlmeasures one and one-tenth of an inch in height from the plat-. Fig. 59 —Platform pipe of limestone. (Length four and one-tenth inches.) form, and is one and one-half inches in diameter. The hollow ofthe bowl is six-tenths of an inch in diameter. A small hole isdrilled from one end of the platform and connects with the hol-low of the bowl. The most symmetrical and beautiful of thepipes found in this mound is shown in Fig. 59. This pipe ismade of limestone with a curved base, which is slightly shown inthe figure, as the pipe is so placed that the hollow in the bowlcan be seen. The platform part of the pipe is four and one-tenth inches in length, one and one-tenth inches in width at thecenter, gradually tapering at each end to one and three-fourthsof an inch in width. This platform is very thin, being four-tenths of an inch in thickness and highly polished bowl, like Fig. 58, rises from the center of the platform and 176 Ohio Arch, and Hist. Society Publications.
