with the dead. Тһе earthenware from both cemeteries has points of resemblance 
in style of decoration, though artistic workmanship and design greatly predominated 
at Glendora. A swelling of the neck is common to a number of bottles from both 
cemeteries. 
| On the other hand, vessels with markedly long necks, which are so conspicuous 
a feature of the pottery of the Keno Plantation, were not found at Glendora. In 
the Keno cemetery were numerous tobacco-pipes; Glendora furnished but one. 
From the Keno Place came large deposits of exquisitely shaped arrow points ; but 
two projectile points, both coarsely made, were found at Glendora. At the Keno 
Place were types of axes not present at the Glendora cemetery. 
CEMETERY ON THE Warp PLACE, MOREHOUSE PARISH, La. 
The plantation known as the Ward Place is about. two miles in a NE. direc- 
tion from Wardville. "This plantation has been divided in recent times, Mr. T. L. 
Day owning the southernmost portion, on which he resides. 
In the northeastern corner of the cultivated field оп Mr. Day's place, іп full 
view from the road and in sight from the bayou, was a slight rise in the ground 
where the soil was darker than that of the rest of the field. Оп this rise were 
strewn various indications of aboriginal occupancy. 
Trial-holes almost immediately came upon human remains, and with the aid 
of considerable digging, an irregular area about 50 feet by 55 feet was found to 
contain burials. It is possible that other burials lie in the neighborhood, but, if 
so, they are widely scattered and probably would not repay the extensive digging 
necessary to find them. 
The area to which reference has been made was completely dug through by 
us, and was found to contain thirty-one burials, none at a greater depth than 2.5 
feet, and most of them considerably nearer the surface. 
The slight elevation in which the burials lay was composed of dark soil formed 
by continued occupancy. Below this dark soil was tough red clay. The burials 
had been placed at various depths in this clay, and the distance at which they were 
from the surface, of course, depended on the depth they had been let into the clay 
and on the thickness of that part of the elevation under which they happened to be. 
` As the presence of human remains at this place was unsuspected previous to 
our visit, and as the bones lay below reach of the plow, the burials found by us 
were practically intact, and consisted of thirty skeletons extended on the back, and 
one aboriginal disturbance. 
Of the full-length burials Number 6 had the right foot crossed above the 
left ankle, and Number 17 had the right forearm flexed, the hand resting on the 
shoulder, near the skull. 
All the extended burials had the heads in a southerly direction (between SE, 
by 8. and SSW.) many due 8. The burials lay about parallel to the bayou. 
It was evident that the skeletons, all of which belonged to adults, with the 
exception of three adolescents and two children, had been placed in the ground
