ADMINISTRATIVE REPORT 15 
Through the enterprise of Mr. T. W. Seay, jr., excava- 
tions in the summit of the mound brought to light several 
slab-box burials, a number of skeletons, and a few arti- 
facts. From the surface of the mound and adjoining lots, 
showing rich, black soil containing artifacts, many speci- 
mens of stone implements have been picked up. Through 
the kindness of Mr. Seay, Doctor Hough visited a num- 
ber of village sites, burial mounds, and flint quarries in 
the neighborhood of Indian Mound and Dover, collecting 
numerous specimens.
