souri,, mile or more away and giving
full command of wide tract of bottom,
land, which reaches to the very base of
the bluffs few rods east of these
lodge circles, but at least 200 feet lower.
There are seven circles in this group,
still we'll defined, although the land has
been in orchard and cultivation for
fifty years or more. Mr.. Lowe found
these circles when he first came to the
state, but the settlers, as they came in,
called them "buffalo wallows," and so
they are considered by most people to
this day. While digging a we'll near
his house some years ago, Mr.. Lowe
came to bed of charcoal and ashes at a
depth of four or five feet. No indica-
tions were apparent on the surface, and
he thought it strange that ashes should
be found at that depth on the high
bluff. From time to time he has picked
up postcards and flints from the sur
face, and he began to observe and study
these curious, circular "buffalo wal
lows" The Otoes lived in the valley
below his house for many years, but
they knew nothing of these curious Cir
cles, and soon took the same view of
them as the whites. Had it not been
for the finding of Postcards and char
coal in digging that we'll, they may have
remained "buffalo wallows" to the end.
Some years ago Mr.. Lowe found pot
terry while digging grave few miles
north of his place; there was no evil
dence on the surface, but at a depth of
about five feet, he came to an ash heap
and some pieces of earthenware, which
had on the surface some curious deco
rations like letters or hieroglyphics, but
these specimens are lost unless they be
in the museum at Crete. would like
very much to study the decorations if
they can be found.
These circles were in much the same
condition when Mr.. Lowe first found
them, as they are today; they are about
thirty feet in diameter, and the ridge on
the outside is about a foot higher than
the surrounding surface, while the
center is depressed about two or two and
half feet below the highest points Of
the outer circle. This group is ar
ranged along the highest points of the
bluff for distance of nearly half a
mile. There are three circles together
at the north end and three together at
the south end, with one about half way
between the two extremities. OF the
south group, opened the middle circle,
about feet wide by feet long, to a
depth of feet from the surface level.
Every shovel of earth, after the first
foot deep, was carefully looked over. l

side and is tempered with quartz-peb-
bles, mica and postcards. 1t looks like
part of the Roca site collection. In
termixed with this pottery is also a
smooth pottery not having the cloth i'm
pressions, but decorated with notched
stick and tempered with fine sand; it is
similar to the specimens found on the
recent Pawnee site ION low ground) at
the mouth of Horse creek, northwest of
Fullerton.
Innumerable flint chips abound, many
so fine that nothing short of sluicing
the dirt will reveal them. Three almost
perfect arrow points were found, made
of the Kansas blue ebert, as are all the
flint chips discovered. All these points
are of the same type, being shaped like
the point of table knife if it be broken
off about two inches long. There are
no notches whereby to fasten them to a
shaft, and may, in time, be classed as
an agricultural implement rather than
war-like weapon.
I brought a quantity Of the earth
home with me, and have sluiced it very
carefully. This earth came from the
floor Of the lodge, near where the fire
place was located, This fireplace was
Indicated by mass of ashes three
inches thick, while the earth was
burned to the color of brick for a
depth of twelve inches below the ashes.
The floor from which I took the earth
can be traced by dark colored line on
level with the ashes, or, possibly, little
higher, as the fireplace seems to be hol-
lowed out slightly found nothing of
note in the earth which I sluiced, except
few grains of powdered pottery, many
flint chips and small piece of bone,
which is quite hard, but shows no signs
Of petrification nor the slightest trace of
decay. Could the whole circle be exca-
waited and sluiced, something
more definite might be learned.
have marked one of a pair
of oak trees standing on the very
brow of the bluff, not far east of the
circle opened: GLOVE 'O1. B." This
will serve to identify the site.
Nearly mile southwest of this group
of circles and back from the river so far
that the bottom land can not be seen,
but still Oh the highest point of the sur
rounding surface, we found two more
lodge circles, similar in every respect to
the one had excavated, possibly, lit
tie deeper. These two circles are OH
land but recently cleared of timber, and
have just been discovered.
