MISCELLANEOUS PAPERS RELATING TO ANTHROPOLOGY. G05 



been fouud a great number of specimens of broken crockery, plain and 

 ornamented in crossed lines; grooved axes of greenstone; celts in green- 

 stone, jasper, agate, hornstone, and limestone; pipes, arrow and lance 

 beads, cbisels, grindiug stones, pestles, sinkers, flint flakes and cores, 

 ornaments in slates and otber colored stones; bones of flsb and many 

 animals, borns of deer and elk, teetb of bears, &c. Some of tbese may 

 bave been tbrown up by tbe plow and scattered over tbe space near the 

 mound. From the number of fragments of various stones, it seems that 

 there was a workshop here, and so I have located one on the map. The 

 mound was built of earth taken from the vicinity, and there were evi- 

 dently some large stones in connection with it, but how they were j)laced 

 is not know^n. B, C, D were within a mile of A, and were single graves. 

 They have all been opened, and each contained one skeleton, without 

 implements or ornaments so far as known. In one, the body seemed to 

 have been buried horizontally, on the right side, with the head to the 

 east; the position of the others is unknown. There seemed to have 

 been a stone cist erected on or near the surface of the ground; and 

 then rocks appear to have been set on edge around it, until a space 10 

 or 12 feet square was inclosed. If ever covered with earth, time has 

 removed it down to the rocks. B is on the farm of Dr. Thomas Ilyle, 

 and C and D on that of Cornelius Terhnne. E and F are points on 

 Salt Kiver, above and below A, where remains of pottery, &c., have 

 been found; but their real character cannot be determined. E is on the 

 farm of John Ludwich, in Boyle County, and F on that of Mrs. Lewis. 



G is a grave on the farm of Thomas Knox, but I have not seen it. 

 From description it is like B, C, and D. 



H is only a point marked by great numbers of flint chippings and 

 broken arrow-heads. 



I represents a space on a farm owned by W. B. Cecil, where a great 

 many pipes, axes, &c., have been found. 



J is a mound of earth on the farm of the Misses Craig, about 1^ miles 

 south of Danville, in Boyle County. It is some 5 feet high and 50 feet 

 in circumference. It has been opened, but I know of nothing obtained 

 from it. 



K is located on the farm of John F. Yedger. It has been opened, and 

 is similar to B, C, D. 



L is iu Boyle County, on the land of Wyatt Hughes. It wa s destroyed 

 by excavating a road-bed for a railroad; and seems to have been like 

 B, C, and D. 



M is a small earthen mound on the southern bank of Eollmg Fork, 

 Boyle County. It has been razed by cultivation. Some bones, a grooved 

 ax, and a few arrow-heads of hornstone were disclosed. 



N is said to be the site of two graves, and is just west of Harrodsburg 

 and "old WiUiams" place. From what I can learn the graves are like 

 B, C, D. 



O is a single (?) grave with stones set up around it. I have not ex- 

 amined it, but from appearances it is like B, C, D.
