CEMETERY ON THE KENO PLANTATION, MOREHOUSE PARISH, La. 
The Keno Place is one of a number of plantations stretching contiguously for 
miles along the bayou, all belonging to Mr. James G. Sandidge, of Bastrop, La., who 
has traveled extensively and who takes great interest in archeological matters. 
About one-quarter mile N. by W. from the landing at the Keno Place, in a 
cultivated field, was an indistinctly defined area hardly appreciably higher than 
the level of the surrounding field. This slight elevation, we were informed by Mr. 
Sandidge, had attracted his attention for some time, owing to the large fragments 
of pottery that had been plowed from it. 
The soil of this area, much darker than that of the surrounding field, still had 
on the surface many fragments of pottery, besides numerous chert pebbles and bits 
of chert, a mass of fossil wood, a stone pitted on both sides and several sandstone 
hones. 
Those employed on the plantation told of glass beads that had been uncovered 
by the plow at this place. 
Trial-holes in various parts of this area came at once in places upon fragments 
of human bones and vessels of earthenware. 
Next eleven trenches, beginning well out in the level ground and converging 
toward all parts of the elevation, were continued until an area 82 feet by 86 feet
