150 CERTAIN ABORIGINAL REMAINS, BLACK WARRIOR RIVER. 
Resting on these two was another dise of metamorphic gneiss, of the same diameter 
as the other. The whole deposit was covered with decayed wood. The discs, some- 
what crushed, have been repaired. On each are traces of pigment. Neither on 
these dises and slabs nor on any others found by us at Moundville was there incised 
decoration on both sides; and on neither side had an attempt been made to repre- 
sent figures.

Another skeleton at full length on the back lay at the same depth, with no 
artifaets in association ; and not far distant, at a somewhat lower level, was still 
another burial of the same kind. Near the skull of the latter were fragments of 
of what seemingly had been a flat, tapering blade of sheet-copper, with the point 
and certain other parts remaining; also bits of corroded sheet-copper belonging to 
one or more ornaments, with fragments of matting. Nearby was a thin, even, 
oblong layer, of small, spherical pebbles, covering a space 8 by 10 inches in extent, 
enclosed above and below in a black substance decayed beyond recognition. With 
these pebbles, was a diminutive disc of earthenware or soft ше» having a cir- 
cular marking in the center on one side.
