LOWER CHATTAHOOCHEE AND LOWER FLINT RIVERS. 449 
DWELLING SITE NEAR Нл1Л/5 UPPER LANDING, CHATTAHOOCHEE County, Ga. 
About one-eighth of a mile in an easterly direction from Hall's Upper Land- 
ing, on the property of Mr. W. C. Bradley, of Columbus, Ga., is a large, cultivated 
field, thickly strewn with signs of aboriginal occupancy, including very many 
pebbles and parts of pebbles; occasional chips of chert; fragments of pottery of 
excellent ware, as a rule, but undecorated, with the exception of the use of green 
paint in one instance and of red pigment in another; bits of glass; many parts of 
clay trade-pipes made for barter with later Indians; part of what had been a well- 
made pipe of soapstone; strips of brass; a triangular object of sheet-brass, probably 
an arrowhead ; a silver button, ete. 
Although no doubt a cemetery is present in some part of this property, care- 
ful sounding with iron rods failed to locate it. 
MOUNDS NEAR WOOLFOLK’S LANDING, CHATTAHOOCHEE COUNTY, Ga. (2). 
About one mile ESE. from Woolfolk's Landing, on the plantation of Mr. В. T. 
Hatcher, of Fort Mitchell, Ala., are two small mounds closely associated, almost 
leveled by long-continued cultivation. Many trial-holes were without result. 
MOUND AND CEMETERY AT ABERCROMBIE LANDING, RUSSELL County, ALA. 
About 50 yards from the river’s bank, at Abercrombie Landing, on the planta- 
tion of Mrs. Mary D. Hall, of Atlanta, Ga., is a mound 14 feet high, irregular in 
basal outline, presumably owing to cultivation of the surrounding area. Its diam- 
eters of base are 85 feet and 95 feet. Considerable digging failed to show the 
mound to be other than what it seemed to be, namely, a domiciliary mound. 
Over the surface of the field surrounding the mound, debris from aboriginal 
occupancy was more thickly scattered than we recall having seen in any former 
experience. In addition to the usual pebbles and fragments of pebbles, we gath- 
ered a neatly-made little “celt;” part of a small stone pendant; bits of brass; a 
knuckle-bone of a deer; several discoidal stones shaped from pebbles; discs made 
from fragments of earthenware, ete. There were almost innumerable fragments of 
pottery, many of excellent shell-tempered ware, some of which was black. Some 
of the sherds bear incised decoration wrought with a rather broad point, but the 
designs are neither new nor especially striking. 
In the level ground around the mound is a cemetery in which we found, from 
1 to 2 feet in depth, skeletons, some loosely flexed, some lying at full length on the 
back. There were also aboriginal disturbances where the bones of a skeleton had 
been disarranged by a burial made at a later period. 
The individuals whose skeletons were found by us evidently had experienced 
the advantage, or disadvantage, of contact with Europeans, as many of the artifacts 
buried with them clearly proved. 
One skeleton had glass beads at the neck, and a bit of sheet-brass and a lump 
of hematite nearby; a steel or iron blade of a large knife on the body; a broad
