eleven of them encased in stone (but not
like the supposed Shawnee stone graves),
and numerous stone implements, such as

pipes, pottery, beaten copper implements
and engraved shells, resembling very
strongly the pictures of Mexican manu-

hammered iron, which would seem to in
dicate that it was made after contact with
