taries during the past week. making
some important finds. A small mound
Oh. the Porteus farm, three miles south
of Coshocton, was opened, in which five
skeletons were found. These skeletons
are of unusual interest ITO science. as
they indicate the type of the prehistoric
race. The skull is thicker than that of
the negro, with low facial angles, prom
inent jaws, handsome teeth. and small
brain capacity. The skeletons indicate
tribe somewhat shorter than our
selves, more muscular and heavier
Near Walhonding, in a mound two
feet high, was found the skeleton of a
person supposed to have been the ar
rowmaker of the tribe. Just above him
were buried some sixty or seventy of
his implements. These were made of
flint, beautifully shaped, and about half
the size of a mans hand. In a gravel
pit near by was found the skeleton of
child, with mussal shells and other
playthings.
In mound nine feet high, on the
Johnson farm, We're found a stone used
for playing games, flint scalping knives
and a few arrowheads.
There are a great many mounds in
this valley, and it is expected that other
valuable and interesting finds will be
