aKANT COITNTY. 



On the blutt's north of Sinepy creek are the remnants of two groups 

 or lines of mounds. These were visited in 1880 by Col. Norris, and in 

 1890 a second visit was made. Such portions of the groups as have 

 been subject to cultivation have entirely disappeared. On the narrow 

 promontory overlooking the river is a row of small conical mounds, com- 

 posed hirgely of rough stones from the adjoining bluff. Five of these 

 mounds were opened in 1880. All contained human bones, which in 

 two cases were charred. 



Many of the bones in these mounds were disconnected and often 

 broken as though deposited after the flesh had been removed, i^robably 

 after exposure of the bodies on scaffolds or after previous burial. 



On a second promontory, east of the first, across a deep ravine, is a 

 group of works consisting of two effigy mounds and one oblong mound.
