SITE NEAR BLUFF CITY, HENDERSON COUNTY. 
About one-half mile above Bluff City, between the highroad and the bluff 
and probably on the other side of the road also, though need to leave space 
for wagons to turn out prevented our digging there, overlooking the river, is 
ground considerably higher than the road, consisting of black soil, which proved 
to have been an aboriginal dwelling-site and a place of burial. 
In the comparatively limited amount of digging done in the space necessarily 
* so restricted, seventeen burials were found, exclusive of many scattered bones: 
eleven adults, two adolescents, four children, none so much as 3 feet in depth, 
some extending about 1 foot into underlying yellow clay otherwise undisturbed. 
The adults and adolescents were in various forms of flexion, except one 
which lay at full length and four aboriginal disturbances whose form of burial 
was not determined. 
With one burial were two very rude arrowheads or knives, of flint; a small 
one was with another burial. With the skeleton of an adult, in front of the 
face, was some pigment, doubtless iron oxide, and at the neck a small, rude, 
copper celt. 
In the soil, apart from burials, were a small, grooved axe of sandstone; two 
piereing implements of bone; a stone of cireular outline having a single pit on 
each side. 
SITE ON THE AUSTIN PLACE, McLean COUNTY. 
On the property of Mr. A. J. Austin, resident on the place, about four miles 
below the town of Rumsey, is a small, aboriginal dwelling-site visible from the 
river bank and easily distinguishable by its dark soil and the presence of a few 
shells scattered on the surface.
