CERTAIN ABORIGINAL REMAINS, BLACK WARRIOR RIVER. 127 
MOUND NEAR STEPHEN'S BLUFF, GREENE County. 
This mound, at the landing, oblong and very symmetrical, with steep sides, 
and summit plateau as level as a floor, is on property belonging to Dr. J. W. 
Clements of Bartow, Polk County, Florida. Its height is 9 feet 9 inches. Its 
diameters are: at base, NNE. апа SSW., 150 feet: ESE. and WNW., 195 feet; 
summit plateau in corresponding directions, 100 feet and 135 feet. The mound was 
dug into superficially by us in many places, in a vain search for human remains or 
artifacts. 
Мосх» BELOW Lock NUMBER 7, HALE COUNTY. 
Within sight from the water, on the eastern bank of the river, about three- 
quarters of a mile below lock and dam Number 7, on property belonging to the 
Black Warrior Lumber Co., of Demopolis, Alabama, is a mound of somewhat 
irregular outline, 5 feet 6 inches high, 48 feet and 40 feet in basal diameters. Тһе 
mound was dug into by us without success, 
MOUND AT Carviv's LANDING, GREENE COUNTY. 
Within sight from the landing, almost at the edge of the bank, on property 
of Mr. W. B. Inge, of Greensboro, Alabama, is a square mound of clay, 4.5 feet in 
height, having a basal diameter of 40 feet. No measurement was taken of the 
summit plateau, which seemed to have been enlarged for the foundation of a house 
that had been upon it. No burial or artifact was met with, though considerable 
digging was done by us. 
MOUND NEAR Bouannon’s LANDING, HALE COUNTY. 
Following a road from the landing, through the swamp about three-fourths of 
a mile in an ESE. direction, one reaches a clearing on property of Mr. C. D. Cum- 
mings, Stewart Station, Alabama, in high swamp, where is a deserted house, and, 
nearby, the mound with a small building upon it. This mound, the sides of which 
almost correspond with the cardinal points of the compass, is 13.5 feet in height. 
Neighboring trees show a deposit of mud left by freshets, almost 8 feet from the 
ground ; hence this mound must have afforded a welcome refuge to the aborigines 
in flood-time. Тһе western end of the mound is raised about 2.5 feet higher than 
the rest of the mound. Тһе maximum diameter of the mound, E. and W., is as 
follows: 25 feet under each slope; the lower part of the summit plateau, 34 feet ; 
beneath slope leading to higher part of summit plateau, 18 feet; higher part of 
summit plateau, 27 feet; total 129 feet. Тһе maximum diameter N. and 8. is 115 
feet, 65 feet of which belong to the summit plateau. Considerable digging to a 
depth of from 4 to 5 feet yielded in one place fragments of a human skull. 
MOUND NEAR GRAYS LANDING, TUSCALOOSA COUNTY. 
In a cultivated field, on property of Mr. James W. Strudwick, of Tuscaloosa, 
Alabama, near the landing, was a mound which had been so much ploughed over 
that a mere rise in the ground remained. Considerable digging failed to show that 
it had been used for burial purposes.
