MOUNDS YIELD
MANY CURIOUS
POTTERY PIECES
Historical Department Pro-
nouncss 1t tho Richest Mound
Discovery in America.

Des Moines Ia. April 25.--Excava-
tions In the mound Mt Boone were COM
pleted yesterday and during the final
pieces of pottery were discovered bear
Ing all sorts of marks and decorations.
and giving evidences of being many
hundreds, IL not thousands. OF years
old. The find so far as Curator Harlan.
OF the historical department, is able to
ascertain, is one of the richest in Amer
lea, and the excavations will be left
some days SO as to permit expert
Psychologists to come and examine the
finds il they wish.
The method used in opening the
mound was to cut off the sides like
slices are cut from a cake. In the CEN
Ter was found the room with the stone
floor. about u by 70 feet. and the walls
OF stone IL to IA feet high. All of the
pottery and many human bones We're
found inside this room. The roof of the
room had been made of tl1nbers thrown
across. With stones placed ON them.
This had cavcd In. which had smashed
the pottery and the skeletons. too. In
addition to the skeletons and pottery
there We're found a few flint tools.
R;ct Specimens Found.
The fragments of pottery are very
interesting Some of this showed a
good deal Of decorations. Some piecss
about the top showed little raised
places on tho outside and it was easily
seen that these We're made by taking a
sharp stick and punching through from
the inside while the clay was wet. In
one Instance the. maker had punched
too hard ami had punched through. He
had pressed the clay back into place
with his thumb and the markings of
he thumb were clearly shown ON the
piece OF pottery which had been subse-
quently burned.
The mound was one of the largest
known 1t was 1870 feet long by 10
wide and raised IA TO 16 feet above the
level of the surrounding ground. On
top O. it grew two elm trees and an oak
Of great size Numerous clam shells of
IL species not now found in the river
near by were found in the mound
Three or four feet under the surface OF
the mound was found a soil Of unusual
character. 1t was very dense and hard
and It was impossible to penetrate 1t
with a pick
"A to the age of the mound no one
has yet been found to hazard a guess.
For many years dead man. buried IN
the mound i'm 1850. has stood guard over
it and prevented the excavations. Re-
atives objected to his remains being
moved. 1T was found that he had died
of smallpox and the state law prohib-
tied opening the grave. This was finally
arranged. however and the last legisla-
ture appropriated the money for the
work.
