Madison said there is little doubt but
that the mound builders were n race
of American Indians.
Corn and beans We're the staple
foods of the mound builders, which
they planted and cultivated in their
gardens. They knew nothing of
wheat. milk and butter. The men
cleared a piece of woodland by cut

and burning the brush and debris.
leaving the ashes to fertilize the soil.
The women then planted corn e;lG

The larder was augmented by fruits,
nuts and acorns, and by game and
fish.
Food was prepared by knives made
of flint and jasper. faxed to a thin.
sharp blade. Mortars made of sand
stone were in common use. In them,
with the aid of "A pestle, corn and
acorns were ground into meal. For
