Moore PLACE, MILLER County, АЕК. 
The Moore Place, still another of the plantations which Mr. Henry Moore, Jr., 
of Texarkana, Ark., so courteously placed at the disposal of the Academy for 
investigation, was visited by us with the cordial consent of Mr. Floyd Thompson, 
of Texarkana, its lessee. 
Beside the road which passes the Moore Place, on the western side, is the 
remainder of a mound, part of which has been cut away by the road and part on 
the opposite side has been leveled through cultivation. This remainder of a mound 
had a height of 4 feet, a diameter of about 60 feet. It was composed of clay and 
sand, the sand predominating 
(Height 4.5 inches.)

The mound presumably had been circular, with a summit-plateau жег 
feet in diameter, which still remained. Into this plateau were put fourteen trial- 
holes, some of which were considerably enlarged. 
Three burials were encountered, two being of children 
at а depth of 3 feet 4 inches. One of these burials had cu 
part, breaking some of the vessels that were with it.
