SOME ABORIGINAL SITES. 491 
No artifacts were found with the burials, nor is there a history of any from 
this place. 
ABORIGINAL CEMETERY ON THE Davis PLACE, LIVINGSTON COUNTY, Kx. 
About one mile below the union of Cumberland river and the Ohio, on the 
property of Mr. C. B. Davis, of Smithland, Ky., on the first high ground near 
the dwelling-house of the estate, have been numerous stone graves, slabs and 
parts of graves remaining. Many graves are reported to have been found on 
the place during the digging of a shallow pond for hogs. While no entire grave 
was found by us, the former presence of a box-grave with a flooring was indi- 
cated. There is no history of the discovery of artifacts. 
ABORIGINAL CEMETERY NEAR Bay Ciry, POPE COUNTY, Itt. 
On the verge of tableland overlooking the river, about one-half mile NW. 
by W. from Bay City, on property belonging to Mr. R. H. Dunning of that place, 
is a group of stone graves of the box variety, having floors. The tops of these 
graves have been plowed away and piles of slabs of sandstone and of limestone 
from graves of the group lie around. The owner recalls no artifact having been 
found there in the last thirty years. 
ABORIGINAL CEMETERY ON THE ORR PLACE, HARDIN COUNTY, ILL. 
This place, of which Mr. David Orr is owner, is a short distance below Eliza- 
bethtown, Ill. It formerly has had a considerable stone grave cemetery of the 
box variety of grave, on the high ground just above the river. Squarely across 
the road, which is a short distance back from the margin of the high ground, 
are rows of slabs on edge, being the sides of stone graves and presenting a curious 
appearance in such a place. Such graves as we found had been disturbed, 
though bones remained in some. With one skeleton was a knife of flint, some- 
what more than 3 inches in length. 
The discovery of other graves while plowing back in the field is reported, 
but the field is planted in alfalfa and investigation was possible only in a few 
bare spots, in which nothing was found. There is no history of the discovery of 
artifacts in the graves on this place. 
MOUND NEAR MURPHY LANDING, POSEY County, INDIANA. 
About twelve miles by water below Mount Vernon, Ind., on the property of 
Mr. J. L. Faulhaber, of Elwood, Ind., is a mound, 16.5 feet in height, which has 
been quadrilateral but is now of somewhat irregular outline, its diameters of 
base being 290 feet ENE. and WSW., and 188 feet NNW. and SSE. On the 
flat top of the mound are various wooden structures. We attempted no digging 
in this mound, which no doubt was domiciliary, as a high place like this is of 
great importance when the river is in flood.
