516 TWO SAND MOUNDS ON MURPHY ISLAND, FLORIDA. 



During the entire investigation but seven burials were encountered, all of the 

 bunched variety and none deeper than 5 feet from the surface. In association 

 were several small bits of pottery, a chipping of chert, and, together, two pins of 

 bone. 



Occasional sherds were in the midden refuse, and two small imperforate bowls 

 were found separately in the same material. A few arrow heads lay loose in the 

 sand and in the loam. 



This curious mound, evidently a place of abode during two extended periods, 

 had been subsequently used, to a small extent in the upper portion, for sepulchral 

 purposes. 



In default of total demolition we do not feel justified in drawing conclusions 

 as to this mound.
