Archaiological Explorations near lladisonviUe, Ohio. 133 



Oil Tiiesdaj', October 28tli, skeleton No. 8 was found, an adult male, 

 with head southeast, length 5 feet 8 inches, depth 15 inches. A 

 broken vessel was found at the right of the head, and on the left side 

 a pipe made of limestone, well finished, and carved to represent the 

 head of some animal (fig 28). A copper ornament was also found at 

 the right side of the neck (fig. 29).

 This relic, which has two bars or cross arms, is made of a ver}' thin 

 piece of copper, rolled or beaten evenh% with small perforation at one 

 end, doubtless for suspensory purposes; and excepting the double 

 arms, somewhat resembles the copper ornament found in the stone 

 graves in Tennessee, described and figured in the eleventh annual re- 

 port of the Peabody Museum of American Archaeology and Ethnology, 

 p. 307. 



The total absence in this cemeter}^ of any evidences of contact with 

 European races, of which fact mention was made in our first paper, 

 makes the remarks and conclusions of Prof. Putnam, relative to the 

 Tennessee ornament, very appropriate in this connection.
