CERTAIN ABORIGINAL REMAINS ОЕ THE LOWER TOMBIGBEE RIVER. 
By CLARENCE B. Moore. 
As the reader is aware, the Tombigbee and Alabama rivers unite to form the 
Mobile river about forty-five miles, by water, above the city of Mobile, Alabama. 
The Mobile river and the Alabama were investigated by us during the season 
of 1899.7 
During the summer of 1900, Mr. J. S. Raybon, captain of the steamer from 
which our mound work is done, started with a companion at Columbus, Miss., the 
present head of navigation, and continued down the little Tombigbee river, as the 
upper part of the Tombigbee before its union with the Black Warrior, near De- 
mopolis, is sometimes called, and down the Tombigbee river to its junction with the 
Alabama. In this way were located a great number of mounds, the owners of which 
almost unanimously accorded us permission to dig. 
Part of the winter of 1901 was devoted by us to a careful examination of 
the Little Tombigbee river between Columbus, Miss., and Demopolis, Ala., 149 
miles by water. In addition, the upper 29 miles of the Tombigbee river, from De- 
mopolis to Bickley’s Landing, were investigated. This left unexplored by us 156 
miles by water between Bickley's Landing and the junction of the Tombigbee with 
the Alabama. It is with these 156 miles that this account of part of our work of 
the season of 1905 has to do. Instead of going downstream, however, as we did 
in 1901, this season we went up the Tombigbee to the place where our work had 
ended before. | 
The warm thanks of the Academy are tendered all owners of mounds and camp 
sites on the Tombigbee river, who so courteously placed their property at its disposal.
