CERTAIN ABORIGINAL REMAINS, LOWER TOMBIGBEE RIVER. 255 
MOUNDS NEAR CARNEY’S BLUFF, CLARKE COUNTY. 
At the edge of the bluff overlooking the river, about one-half mile north from 
the landing, in full view from the road, was a symmetrical mound, circular in basal 
outline, on property belonging to Mr. P. A. Bryant, living nearby. Its height was 
9.9 feet; its basal diameter, 46 feet. It had been dug into on the northern side to 
some extent, previous to our visit.

The mound, which was completely leveled by us, proved to be of sand mingled 
with masses of rock, similar to the one at Pavne's Woodvard. 
Fic. 6.— Vessel No. 1. Larger mound near Carney's Bluff. (Diameter 6.75 inches.) 
In the sand were a number of pebbles; several arrowheads or knives, of 
quartzite, broken and whole; several bits of chert; a pebble showing considerable 
wear; and part of a flat, oval pebble with a central hole of considerable size, which 
may have been natural, though a roughness of the margin of the hole seemed to 
indicate that if not artificially made it had at least been enlarged. Several bits of 
earthenware bearing the small check-stamp lay in the sand. 
Eight feet in from the margin of the mound, on the eastern side, 28 inches 
down, were a number of fragments, presumably of several vessels or of parts of 
vessels. With these were three vessels and a large fragment, as follows: 
Vessel No. 1.—This vessel, of yellow ware, trilateral with circular aperture 
ornamented with notches, has an incised decoration as shown in Fig. 6. Тһе mor- 
tuary base-mutilation is present. 
Vessel No. 2.—An undecorated pot of inferior ware, of about three pints
