SOME ABORIGINAL SITES. 493 
ADDITIONAL INVESTIGATION ON MISSISSIPPI RIVER. 
As we have stated elsewhere, the territory along the Mississippi covered by 
us this season lay between Memphis, Tenn., and Cairo, Ill, where the Ohio 
joins the Mississippi, though no digging was attempted by us in certain sites 
within about thirty miles of Memphis, which had been explored in a previous 
season. 
The mounds and sites of any importance visited by us this year are as follows: 
MOUNDS AND SITES. 
Mounds near Fulton, Lauderdale County, Tennessee. 
Aboriginal dwelling-site at Hale's Point, Lauderdale County, Tenn. 
Mound on the MeCoy Place, Dyer County, Tenn. 
“The Neeley Mounds,” Dyer County, Tenn. 
Mounds on the Markham Place, Lake County, Tenn. 
Mounds on the Bandy Place, Pemiscot County, Missouri. 
Mounds on the Davis Place, New Madrid County, Mo.

The Campbell Mound, Fulton County, Kentucky. 
Mounds on Pinhook Ridge, Mississippi County, Mo. 
Mound on the Chaney Place, Hickman County, Ky. 
Mounds on the Turk Place, Ballard County, Ky. 
Mounds on the Edwards Place, Ballard County, Ky. 
Aboriginal dwelling-site at Wickliffe, Ballard County, Ky. 
MOUNDS NEAR FULTON, LAUDERDALE County, TENN. 
On Chickasaw Bluff, overlooking the river, on the property of Mr. T. F. 
Moore, of Fulton, Tenn., are two mounds and a remnant of another, about 
three-quarters of a mile below the town. There are said to be other mounds 
nearby, which we did not visit. 
The largest mound, about 14 feet in height and 100 feet across its circular 
base, is covered with a grove of locust trees which it was desired to preserve. 
The other mound, about 50 yards from the first, had been under cultivation 
and its dimensions evidently had been modified. Its height was slightly less 
than 10 feet; the diameter of base about 90 feet. 
An excavation, 12 feet square, was carried to and beyond a well-defined base- 
line which was reached at a depth of 12 feet from the summit of the mound. 
No burial was encountered and no sign of a grave was discernible in the base, 
which was of so marked a character that any space filled in with material other 
than that of the base could not have escaped our notice. The mound, in which 
were various thin layers, presumably indieating short periods of occupancy, 
evidently had been a domiciliary one.
