MOUND NEAR THE CUT-OFF, CLARKE COUNTY. 
The Cut-off is a narrow water-way between the Alabama and Tombigbee rivers, 
eight miles by water above their junction. The mound, on property belonging to 
Mr. C. G. Foote, of Calvert, Alabama, is in thick swamp, about 150 yards from the 
southern side of the Cut-off, and approximately three-quarters of a mile from the 
Tombigbee river. The mound is composed of a mixture of clay, sand, and loam. 
Its height is 5 feet 4 inches; its basal diameter, 62 feet. As it was not deemed 
advisable to destroy this mound, owing to its use as a place of refuge by cattle in 
times of high water, thirteen excavations, each about 3 feet square, were made in 
it to the base. 
In one excavation was a small bunched burial consisting of a skull with its 
lower jaw, one clavicle, one bit of pelvis, one scapula, three cervical vertebra, and 
several foot-bones. 
Nine inches from the surface was a small layer of fragments of calcined, human 
bones, including parts of a skull. Directly beneath this layer was a pile of unburnt 
bones, with two crania, accompanying which was a hone of ferruginous sandstone. 
Dissociated in this mound were a few pot-sherds, one shell-tempered, several without 
shell-tempering. Certain sherds, of excellent ware, bore incised decoration.
