ABORIGINAL SITES IN LOUISIANA AND IN ARKANSAS. 91 
With these bones was a rude arrowhead or knife, of flint; a slab of fer- 
ruginous sandstone; a spherical pebble about the size of a pigeon's egg; nine 
ulnæ of deer, with articular parts remaining. Three of these last were unfinished 
tools; three had rounded points; one, a sharp point; and two had the points absent 
through breakage. 
Burial No. 15, another disturbance cut through by Burial No. 14. At 
the right of the skull lay a vessel, badly erushed by roots, upon which had been 
an incised design of some kind. 
Burial No. 16 had the head direeted S. At the right of the skull was an 
undecorated bowl, beside which was another bowl in small fragments, which had 
borne a rude, trailed design. 
Burial No. 17. A small bunch with an undecorated pot in association. 
Burial No. 18. A skeleton with the head directed S., having a small de- 
posit of bones in connection with it. | 
Burial No. 19, with the head directed 8. by E., had nearby a few scattered, 
human bones, perhaps a disturbance. 
Burial No. 20 lay with the head S. by E. At the right side of the legs 
was a bunched burial, including four skulls. With this latter burial was an 
undecorated bowl erushed to fragments, 
The ware of all the vessels from this mound is of inferior quality. 
SITE NEAR WIRE Fence LANDING, BRADLEY COUNTY. 
About one-half mile southwestwardly from Wire Fence Landing is a property 
including two fields which until very recently belonged to the Bradley Lumber 
Company, of Warren, Ark., but of which Mr. William Harding, who lives about 
four miles distant, is now the owner. 
The field nearer the river, fallow at the time of our visit, bore on the surface 
some evidence of former occupancy by the aborigines, including a number of 
arrowpoints of inferior make, the smaller ones among which are barbed. 
Partly in the field and in part covered with small pine trees, probably a 
recent growth, was a low ridge of irregular shape and of undetermined extent, 
since one end of it seemed to merge with the level of surrounding woods. The 
highest part of this ridge probably was not more than one foot above the rest 
of the field. 
The soil of which the ridge was composed was loamy sand which extended 
about 18 inches to undisturbed brown sand. 
This ridge evidently had served as a place of burial to a considerable extent, 
as almost every trial-hole sunk by us came upon human remains, and often the 
discovery of one burial led to that of another, so that the finding of five or six 
interments resulted from a single hole. 
The two burials which showed no disturbance lay at full length upon the 
back, but as none of the others encountered by us had been placed more than 
6 inches into the underlying brown sand, there had been considerable disar-
