In decided contrast with the pre-

the proportions of major disaster.
This occurred on April 10, in the Dor

disaster relief work was the fact that

to make necessary a large number of

FINDS ANCIENT POTTERY
WHILE SEEKING FOSSILS
Vases Fashioned by Indians Are
crnamen,.d With Grooves,
Ridges and Paint

While collecting cretaceous fossils
in the Selma cha'k on the edge of
Starkville last scholastic year, Mrs
Lucy J b. Burt mother of Prof.
Frederick A Burt of the department
of geology, found some fragments of
very dark pottery ana some peculiar
nodules of the same dark material,
associated with such Selma fossils as
had weathered from the chalk. This
year Mrs Burt whose enthus asm as
a collector has led her far atield in
many states Of the United States and
in some of the provinces of Canada as
We'll aga n visited the same site and
was again rewarded by finding more
pottery fragments and more nodules
as q result of continued erosion Of the
soil in the meantime.
Some Of the fragments of pottery
are very milar in shape to the tops
Of the common flower pots Of today
and seem to have been about five
inches in diameter Other pieces are
clearly Of bowl-shaped vases, whereas
still other pieces are of different va
rieties All of the vases are slightly
ornamented With grooves, ridges, etc
and some with yellow paint. The
nodules vary N size, but many Of
them are approximately one half by
one inch In outline they resemble
some of the insect cocoons or per-
haps more closely the satin pillow
capdj.
An examination Of the fragments
ana nodues revealed the material
from which they were made namely
the asphalt or similar bitumen resi-.
due VIII ch is found in small pockets
in the Selma chalk Obv ously the
nodules had been fashioned by the
Indians or some earlier inhabitants
OF North America by melting the
bitumeu In such form it was possi-
bly kept as a surplus stock The
fragments of pottery seem to have
been formed in similar manner by
