  is 
  taken 
  from 
  Thomas's 
  

   report. 
  Figure

  the

  Avhich 
  once 
  stood 
  on 
  the

  as 
  given

  from 
  Squier 
  

   and 
  Davis, 
  is 
  introduced 
  to 
  show 
  the 
  juxtaposition 
  of 
  squares 
  and 
  

   circles, 
  recalling 
  the 
  association 
  in 
  Creek 
  grounds 
  of 
  the 
  squares 
  and 
  

   the 
  circular 
  spaces

  Fig.

  — 
  Plan 
  of 
  the 
  Gordon 
  group 
  of 
  mounds, 
  central 
  Tennessee. 
  (By 
  W. 
  E. 
  Myer) 
  

  

  are 
  placed. 
  The 
  mounds 
  represented 
  are 
  in 
  the 
  neighborhood 
  of 
  Chil- 
  

   li 
  cothe, 
  Ohio. 
  These 
  are 
  much 
  larger 
  than 
  the 
  corresponding 
  Creek 
  

   elements, 
  but 
  it 
  is 
  not 
  impossible 
  that 
  in 
  former 
  days 
  structures 
  like 
  

   the 
  Creek 
  square 
  and 
  tcokofa 
  may 
  have 
  been 
  surrounded 
  by 
  fortifica- 
  

   tions 
  or 
  by 
  ridges 
  of 
  rakings 
  similar 
  to 
  the 
  ridges 
  of 
  trash 
  about 
  

   Creek 
  grounds, 
  but 
  at 
  greater 
  distances.
