Barrel-shaped and Ovoid Objects Table 11
There are 21 objects from Claiborne that have a barrel or ovoid shape, with flat or mildly convex ends. Five are plain and solid, all sandy. One sandy object of similar shape has shallow pits in the ends, another has three incisions encircling the midportion of the barrel and a third has three longitudinal grooves. A similar object of clay shows longitudinal scoring and a final solid clay barrel-shaped object has rough longitudinal tool scoring. Eleven barrel-shaped objects are perforated; four of them are of clay and 7 are sandy. One of these is plain, one is transversely grooved, four of clay are deeply grooved longitudinally, three have three spiraled finger grooves and two have shallow longitudinal fluting.
