REPORT ON SKELETAL REMAINS FROM A MOUND ON HALEY 
PLACE, NEAR RED RIVER, MILLER COUNTY, ARKANSAS. 
By Dr. ALES HRDLICKA. 
The skeletal remains submitted to the writer by Mr. Clarence B. Moore for 
examination were marked “ Burial 5” and “ Burial 9,” Haley Mound, Red river, 
Miller County, Arkansas. They consist of two skulls with their lower jaws and 
parts of one of the skeletons. 
The specimens show yellowish-brown discoloration. They are not perceptibly 
mineralized, and all the bones contain some animal matter. The left humerus of 
the skeleton from Burial 9 shows at its middle a large patch stained green, the 
result of decomposed copper (or brass). 
The two subjects were plainly male adults, and the skulls are both artificially 
deformed, the deformation being of the “Flathead” variety. The deformation is 
exactly such as is seen in four crania from mounds on the McClure Place, near Red 
River, Miller County, Ark., which came from Mr. Moore in the same consignment ; 
and it is also identical in type with that exhibited in numerous skulls from Arkansas 
and Louisiana collected by Mr. 
Moore on former expeditions." 
Owing to the artificial de- 
formation, which is quite рго- 
nounced, the original form of the 
skulls is not ascertainable. It 
is evident, however, that both 
belonged to individuals of strong 
muscular development and of 
probably more than medium sta- 
ture; the latter conclusion is sub- 
stantiated by the dimensions of 
the remnants of long and other 
bones belonging to Burial No. 9, 
the cranium of which is shown in 
Fig. 1. 
The skulls (which now bear 
numbers 272,543 and 272,544 U. во. кой. Burial No.9. Mound on the Haley Place, Ark. 
S. N. M.) show a good internal 
capacity, that of Burial No. 9 (272,543 
which is slightly less capacious, is damage 
is not possible. 
) reaching 1600 c.c., Burial No. 5 (272,544) 
d and exact measurement in this respect
