CERTAIN ABORIGINAL REMAINS, LOWER TOMBIGBEE RIVER. 959 
which had sustained practically no previous investigation, was 43 feet in diameter 
of base and 2 feet in height. Leaving untouched the outer 3.5 feet on each side 
of the mound, the remainder, having a diameter of 36 feet, was completely dug 
through by us, and as no burials were met with until we had gone a number of feet 
toward the center, it is not likely that anything was missed. 
Human remains were found in eleven places, consisting of lone skulls, small 
bunches, and fragments of bone, all in the last stage of decay. 
Found singly, and apart from human remains, in the mound were various im- 
perfect arrowheads; also six entire arrowheads or 
knives—five of quartzite, one of chert, all rudely 
wrought. 
Presumably having been with a skeleton which 
had decayed away was an ornament of corrugated 
sheet-copper (Fig. 10). This type of ornament is more 
fully deseribed in our account of the shell deposits at 
Blakeley, Mobile bay. 
With a bit of long-bone, having two or three frag- 
ments of bone at a certain distance, were, neatly piled 
together, fourteen arrowheads and knives—twelve of 
quartzite, two of chert, all unbroken, with one excep- 
tion. Separated from these by a short distance was a 
rough arrowhead or knife of quartzite, and an incom- 
plete arrowhead of chert. 
° With a lone skull were eight arrowheads and 
knives—seven, entire, of quartzite, one, incomplete, of 
chert. 
At the center of the base of the mound, as nearly 
as could be determined, was a small bunched burial 
having two skulls. With this burial was a knife of 
quartzite; a barrelshaped bead of earthenware, 1.5 
inches long; and a toy-bowl of a soft claystone, about 
1.75 inches in diameter. This little toy, interestingly

The second mound, exceeding twice the height of the other and of about the 
same diameter, had been badly dug into previous to our visit. Four considerable 
holes made by us and enlargement of the earlier one yielded nothing. 
MOUNDS AT Jackson LANDING, CLARKE COUNTY. 
At Jackson Landing, within the limits of the large saw-mill of the C. W. 
Zimmerman Manufacturing Company, of which Mr. C. W. Zimmerman, of Jackson, 
is president, are remains of two mounds which extensive digging by us showed to 
have been domiciliary, presumably.
