448 LOWER CHATTAHOOCHEE AND LOWER FLINT RIVERS. 
MOUND NEAR GEORGETOWN, QUITMAN COUNTY, GA. 
This mound, about a mile and a half in a southerly direction from George- 
town, in a cotton-field on the plantation of Mr. W. W. Green, of Gay, Fla., has 
been under cultivation for years and is greatly reduced in height. Its present 
altitude is 5 feet 4 inches; the diameter of its circular base, 100 feet. The surface 
is covered with camp-site debris, consisting of bits of pottery, flakes of chert, and 
the like. Although the mound had been long under cultivation, and, in addition, 
an upper portion had been carted away, it is said, we could learn from those in 
charge of no discovery of artifacts or bones. Trial-holes sunk by us were without 
result. 
MOUND ABOVE EvravrLA, BARBOUR County, ALA. 
About two miles above Eufaula, in view from the river, remains about half of 
what had been an oblong mound of red clay, with a flat summit plateau, the other 
part having been washed away during periods of high water. This mound, on 
property of Mr. H. Lampley, of Eufaula, was evidently domiciliary, as is indicated 
by its shape and by the negative result of a number of trial-holes dug by us. 
MOUND NEAR UPPER Francis LANDING, BARBOUR County, ALA. 
This mound, near the northern side of Williams Lake, about one-half mile 
from Upper Francis Landing, was visited by our agent in advance of our coming. 
Its height is reported to be 13 feet; its basal diameter, about 100 feet. The mound 
was not investigated by us as the owner refused permission, though much influence 
was brought to bear. 
MOUNDS NEAR Roop’s LANDING, STEWART County, GA. 
On the Rood plantation, about a mile and a half in from Rood’s Landing, is a 
group of eight mounds, to some extent calling to mind the great earthworks at 
Moundville, Ala., though the mounds at Rood’s Landing are much smaller, as a 
rule, and the circle around a central mound is incomplete, there being no mounds 
on the southern side, where a creek passes through the property. 
These mounds, of the ordinary domiciliary variety, oblong, with summit 
plateaus, ranged between estimated heights of 7 feet and 20 feet, which latter is 
believed to be the altitude of the central mound. 
Though the place has long been under cultivation, there is no history of the 
finding of artifacts, in which respect it greatly differs from the territory around 
Moundville, where for years objects of interest have been unearthed. 
The owners of this plantation not only refused permission to dig even to the 
smallest extent, but practically declined to allow a survey, by prohibiting the 
cutting of branches of trees, without which proceeding lines could not be run; 
consequently we were unable to make an investigation of this interesting locality.
