OLD INDIAN CENTER
found IN VIRGINIA
Smithsonian ArCheoIogist Lo-
e Gates Site of Town De-
IN
r serted About 1910.
BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

i1e1 Smithsonian Institution archeol-
egists have found the site of the old
Indian town of Manasukapanough,
within a few miles of the University
OF Virginia
This settlement, abandoned about
1870, was one of the five towns located
by Capt. John Smith. head Of the
Jamestown colony, in his map of Vir-
gfnia drawn in 1903 and appears to
have been an important center among
the aboriginals. 1t was located at a
ford across the Rivianna River which
was a crossing place for Indian trad
ers on their way to the Catawba
country.
After its desertion by the Indians
the remains of the town were prac-
tically wiped out by the plows of the
white settlers and only close following
of maps and records of early traders
enabled David Bushnell, Smithsonian
archeologist, definitely to locate it.
M Judd, curator of archelogy, and
an effort is being made to reconstruct
its curious history. Only a few Indian
aftifactS have been found in a trench
two feet deep and about 200 feet long
dag through one side of the site by
the owner of the land to release the
waters of an old spring which was
uoodlng the nelghborhOod. 1t was the
same spring. Mr.. Judd believes, which
provided water for the settlement.
Eastern Stronghold of Tribe.
Manasukapanough, Judd declares,
was an Eastern stronghold of the
Eiouan Indians, branch of whom had
pushed out of the West, beaten back
the Algonquin tribes of Virginia.
and made their way down the Blue
Ridge into North Carolina. They may
have been descendants of the Mound
Builders of the Mississippi Valley, but
at that time the Eastern branch of
the tribe was occupying Ohio. The
artifactS recovered from the trench are

through the part Of the country where
this barrow is went through the woods
directly to it without any instructions
or inquiry, and, having staid about 1t
for some time, with expressions that
we're construed to be those OF sorrow,
returned to the high road"
Possible Pilgrimage Site.
Bushnell believes the place may have
been a pilgrimage site for some time
after the town itself had disappeared.
There is no known record of white
man having visited Monasukapanough,
but it is believed from the known Gus
toms of the tribe to have been settle
ment of wooden houses. joined together
in circle, through which there were
two or three gates. The houses were
about feet high, with walls Of mas
sive timber, rooted over with rafters
covered with oak or hickory bark. The
circle around which the houses were
built was the town plaza, in the center
of which was a stump from which
orators addressed the people.

today by the prospect Of lowered gas
rates, effective with next months bills.
Under a voluntary reduction sched-
ule approved by the State Corporation
Commission late yesterday, three Cities
Service subsidiaries cut their rates. The
annual saving to consumers was esti-
mated at $3.50, 900.
Companies affected are the Bartles-
vile Gas 81 Electric Co., the Union
Public Service and Consumers Gas. The
cities benefiting include Bartlesville,
Miami and Pitcher.
Gov. w. H. Murray said the reduc-
tons resulted from an investigation
he had started several months ago.

extremely crude, consisting Of flint
chips, fragments of arrowheads, knives
and bits Of pottery. The Indians ap-
pear to have been at q lower culture
stage than the Algonquins around them
and leads to the theory Of the Smith
sonian Psychologists that they repre-
sented a degenerated culture main
tanned among hostile surroundings.
The old town not only was located
by John Smith, but was described in
1928 by William Byrd, ancestor of Ad-
miral Richard E. Byrd, who came upon
the site while on a surveying expedi-
ton. For two centuries 1t appears to
have been forgotten. Hope of finding
many remains, Judd says, now rests on
the fact that a part of the site has
been covered with silt from the river
overflow and under this accommodating
topsoil a coed deal may have been
saved from the pillow. 1t was customary
for the Indians to have their communal
sweat houses" close to the river Their
dwellings we're of wood and long since
have vanished.
Across the river was the burial ground
of the village. In Thomas Jefferson's
DAY at Monticello it was a great mound,
plainly visible from the house on the
nnountaintop. Jeffersons curiosity was
so much aroused that he ordered the
mound excavated, the first archeologi-
cal project carried out in the United
States

JefferSon'S Comment.

Jefferson wrote of his excavation:
Il first dug specifically, and came
to collections of human bones from 6
inches to feet below the surface.
These were lying in the utmost confu-
sion, some oblique, some horizontal
and directed to every point of the COM
pass. entangled and held together in
clusters Of earth. Bones of the most
distant parts were found together-as
the small bones of the foot in the hol-
low of a skull and many skulls would
sometimes be in contact. lying on the
face, on the side, on the back, top or
bottom. so as to give the idea of bones
emptied promiScuously from a bag or
basket and covered over with earth
without any attention to their order.
Appearances indicate that the first COL
lection had been deposited on the COM
mon surface of the earth, a few stones
put over it, and then a covering of
earth; that the second had been laid
on this, had covered more or less of it
in proportion to the number Of bones,
and was then also covered with earth"
This aboriginal center declined rap
idly after the white settlement of Vir-
ginia, but Mr.. Bushnell believes a few
continued to occupy the site at the be-
ginning Of the eighteenth century. AS
late as the middle of the century some
were living who knew Of the burial
place of their dead. Jefferson wrote:

old girl pitcher for the Chatta-
