Certain published designs from Walls-Pecan Point phase pottery are strikingly in the tradition of the socalled 'Death Cult' of the Southeastern United States. Particular reference is made to 2 Walls Engraved bottles, illustrated by Phillips, Ford, and Griffin (1951, Fig. I ll g) and by Calvin Brown (1926, Fig. 278). The first of these, showing a winged serpent almost identical to those of Moundville, is at the University of Arkansas. The second, depicting skulls, long bones, and hands with oval markings at the, palms, is at the University of Mississippi
