MOUNDS NEAR PURDUE Woop-camp, CALHOUN County, ARK. 
In woods said to be on land belonging to the State, about three-quarters of a 
mile in a NNE. direction from Purdue Wood-camp, is a quadrangular mound about 
9 feet high with basal diameters of 80 feet and 67 feet. The summit-plateau is 30 
feet by 24 feet. This mound, evidently domiciliary, is partly surrounded by nine 
other mounds, all low and irregular. 
Considerable digging in the mounds and in neighboring level ground, yielded 
neither bone nor artifact, and showed the soil to be a mixture of sand and clay, of 
a raw yellow color, with no trace of organic matter.
