SOME ABORIGINAL SITES ON RED RIVER. 591 
Ета. 83.—Vessel No. 33. Friday Place, Ark. (Diam. 7 inches.) 
MOUND oN THE Moore PLACE, LAFAYETTE COUNTY, ARK. 
On the Moore Place (formerly the Murphy Place), belonging to Mr. Henry 
Moore, Jr., of Texarkana, Ark. (whose Battle Place and Friday Place already have 
been described in this report), in sight from the river, is a mound part of which has 
been under cultivation. Portions from one end of it have been removed for the 
construction of a levee, and a road passing over the mound gradually has worn 
away and divided the elevation into two parts which usually locally are referred 
to as two mounds. 
The mound, whose present length is about 75 yards and whose maximum 
width is 35 yards, approximately, extends NW. and SE., the maximum height, 
about 5 feet, being attained at the northern end, whence the mound gradually

mound, indicating possible occupancy in aboriginal times, trial-holes, except in two 
or three instances where the soil was darker, went through yellow sand. All 
reached undisturbed clay. The sole object encountered was a small, flat, flint 
pebble, rudely chipped. 
MOUNDS on THE Foster PLACE, LAFAYETTE COUNTY, ARK. 
On the Foster Place, belonging to Mr. L. A. Foster, of Hope, Ark., is a mound 
half, or almost half, eaten away by the river. The major diameter of the remaining 
part is about 50 feet; its height, 4 feet. Considerable digging in and near this 
remainder of the mound came upon no aboriginal remains of any kind. 
. About 200 yards E. from the digging just described is a mound in the corner 
of a cultivated field, though but a small part of the mound itself has been under
