CERTAIN ABORIGINAL REMAINS OF THE BLACK WARRIOR RIVER. 
By CLARENCE B. Moore. 
The Black Warrior river," having its sources in northern Alabama, pursues a 
southerly course, and passing the city of Tuscaloosa and the town of Moundville, 
enters the Tombigbee river just above Demopolis. 
The Black Warrior river, with the aid of dams and locks, is navigable at the 
present time, the spring of 1905, from its union with the Tombigbee to a point a 
short distance above Tuscaloosa,” 139 miles, by water. It is with this portion of the 
river, our course being northward, that the present report of our work during part 
of the season of 1905 has to do. 
Mr. J. S. Raybon, captain of the flat-bottomed steamer from which our archæo- 
logical work is done, previously had spent considerable time on the river, from 
Tuscaloosa down, with a companion, in a small boat, stopping at each landing to 
make careful inquiries as to the location of cemeteries and mounds. The names 
and addresses of owners of these were furnished us, and, permission to dig having 
been obtained, there was little to do upon our arrival on the river but to proceed 
with the digging. 
The warm thanks of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia are 
tendered all owners of mounds or cemeteries, who so kindly placed their property 
at its disposal.
