XLVIII 



REPORT OF THE BUREAU OF ETHNOLOGY. 



North Carolina, and probably those of the Kauawha valley of 

 West Virginia. To the Shawnees may be ascribed the box 

 or cist graves of stone and accompanying mounds in Kentucky, 

 Temiessee, and northern Georgia. The stone graves in the 

 valley of the Delaware are referable to the Delawares. Thei'e 

 are facts enough to corroborate the inference that the ancient 

 works in northern Mississippi were built chiefly by the Chicka- 

 saws; those in the region of Flint river, in southern Georgia, 

 by the Uchees; and a large portion of all those of the Gulf 

 states by the Muskoki group. 



10. Finally, the links of evidence connecting the Indians 

 and mound-builders are so numerous and well established as 

 to justify archeologists in assuming that they were one and 

 the same people.
