An Indian Mound Opened. 



An Indian mound on the top of a 

 bluff overlooking the Huron river at a 

 point a few miles below Ann Arbor, 

 was opened Saturday, November 18, 

 by Dr. W. B. Hinsdale, dean of the 

 homoeopathic department of the Uni- 

 versity of Michigan. Within was found 

 a skeleton, two earthen pots and about 

 a dozen small implements. The skel- 

 eton, which was that of a man, was 

 lying on an oval bed of burnt clay. 

 Its head was pointed towards the west. 

 The position of the bones seemed to 

 indicate that the body had been bur- 

 ied in a sitting posture. On the skel- 

 eton's left hand was a pile of bones not 

 human. Among these were the two 

 •front teeth of a beaver. The imple- 

 ments in the pots included several ar- 

 row points, a number of awls made 

 out of antlers, a copper needle and a 

 barbed fishing spear. The spear was 

 also made of an antler. 



The teeth in the skull were all sound
