SECRETS OF MOUND
BUILDERS UNEARTHED
Pretentious Burial Places Revealed
as Prof. Shetrone Continues
Ohio Explorations.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated FrebDs
CHILLICOTHE, Ohio, June 25.-
Explorers into the secrets Of Great
Seip Mound, one Of the most preten-
tious Of the burial places Of the
ancient mound builders, are busy
az in.
Five burials have been discovered In
the last two days by forces excavating
at the mound near cambridge, under
the direction Of Prof. c. H. Shetrone.
curator of the Ohio Museum at CO.
iumbus.
Lured on by the discovery of val.
liable relics yielding up secrets Of the
life and customs Of those prehistoric
people who once inhabited this Sec
ton, Prof. Shetrone has started his
third season of mound exploration.
The burials recently unearthed were
partially cremated, but they disclosed
shell beads, fresh water pearls, pieces
Of woven fabrics and imitation ALI
gator teeth made Of copper,
Two of the burials were unusual, In
one respect, because they were found
on a single platform. This was in
contrast to previous discoveries which
indicated that the practice OF the
Mound Builders was to place each
burial on a separate platform.
About half of Seip Mound has been
cut away and this season a power
drag-line scoop Is to be employed to
| level the other half.
The collection for the Ohio Museum
has been enriched so far this year
with copper axes and ear spools, lead
ore and copper breastplates.
