Unfortunately not sufficient of this vessel was found to furnish a basis for a complete restoration of the extreme upper part. The base is intact, the breaking and scattering presumably fulfilling the ceremony. Several low mounds in pine woods in this region were explored without discovery of bones or of artifacts.
