On the southeast- 

 ern side of the great 

 mound a low mound 

 was dug away and 

 found to contain 

 about sixty graves, 

 of youths and adults. 

 In one of these, how- 

 ever, a child was bur- 

 ied with a grown per- 

 son, and in another 

 grave two bodies had 

 been placed. This 

 mound had the graves 

 about the edge only, 

 in two rows and three 

 deep. These graves 

 were sometimes care- 

 fully m a d e wit h 

 stones, but others 

 were only indicated 

 by side stones, and 

 one of the bodies had 

 been placed in the 

 ground without any 

 stonesabout it. These 

 graves proved very 

 rich in articles buried 

 with the dead, and 

 furnished interesting 



articles of pottery, pipes, stone implements, ornaments 



of shells, copper ornaments, etc.
