RELICS FROM AN INDIAN BURYING GROUND. 
BY L. BELDING. . 
/ 
On the north bank of the Stockton Slough on land of Mr. Ed- 
ward F. Jones is an extensive Indian burying ground where hun- 
dreds, if not thousands, of Indians have been buried, and where I 
have, during the last fourteen or fifteen years, found some very in- 
teresting relics, but none of them interested me as much as those 
which were made of the adobe soil of the neighborhood, and which 
appear to me to be unique. The burying ground is in an extensive 
stoneless tract and substitutes for stones were made from the con- 
venient soil, apparently by wetting, shaping with the hand, mark- 
ing, and then baking in fire. These artificial stones were usually 
nearly round and would weigh about a half-pound each, but there 
was a considerable variety in size, form and marking; the latter of 
which was probably indicative of family or individual ownership, 
and the stones were probably used for cooking food, but they may 
have had some connection with the burial customs of these Indians. 
_ Among other things found here were two perforated discs which 
resemble a form described by Mr, Bowers and Paul Schumake, 
and which Mr. Henshaw refers to as weights to digging sticks.
