SOUTH SHORE SITES


discussed later, incised casuelas are relatively late in the Magens
sequence and should indicate occupation in late Magens IIB or
IIC periods.

 South Shore Sites

 At Fortuna Bay, along the south shore of St. Thomas (Fig. 4),
 the Davises found two sherds, one Botany and one of Magens
 Plain. The latter would suggest Magens IIA times.
 At Krum Bay (Fig. 4), Hatt (1924) investigated three small shell
 heaps at one of which he found some pottery. As the Krum Bay
 sites are to be the subject of a separate monograph (Bullen and
 Sleight 1963), I shall not discuss them here except to briefly men-
 tion the pottery which I was privileged to examine and photograph
 at the Danish National Museum in 1960. Hatt found forty-two
 sherds: one Bay red-painltcd. twenty-four Bay Plain, and seventeen
 Botany Plain. Most of the rim sherds were bent inwards and came
 from convex rim bowls (Fig. 3), a common shape at Magens Bay.
 Nine sherds joined together to form a large fragment of a globular
 vessel with a greatly restricted orifice. A narrow line had been
 incised paralleling the lip. This treatment is the same as that on a
 sherd (P1. I, d) found in Level 1 of Test II at Magens Bay. The
 pottery from Krum Bay is relatively late in the Magens Bay se-
 quence and probably was made during the Magens IIB period.
 Hatt (1924) mentions traces of a shell heap at Nisky (Fig. 4)
but appears to have made no collection there. This area is built
over now and the Davises were unable to locate any trace of a
shell heap.
 A far as I am aware, the only Indian material known for the
whole eastern end of St. Thomas are four sherds of Hull Plain and
a utilized chip found by the Davises at a place they designated as
the Turpentine Run (Fig. 4). This area, now in pasture, is the
only rolling land on the island. As it would appear to be the best
agricultural land on the island, it seems strange more evidence of
aboriginal use was not found. Four Hull Plain sherds are insuf-
ficient evidence for any cultural placing but they could pertain to
an early period.
 The Bullens were not successful in locating any Indian sites
