A pottery vessel, probably between four and five hundred years old, has just been presented to the Peabody Museum by Clarence B. Moore '73, of Philadelphia, a man prominent in archaeological research. The vessel, which is carefully modelled and chased, was found in an aboriginal cemetery near Point Washington, Choctawhatchee Bay, Florida. Under it was a skull, with the tip of the chin just projecting through a break in the vessel. The skull, showing the receding forehead of the North American Indian, is included in the gift.
