CHICKASAWBA MOUND.

This mound is situated at Chickasawba Village, 24 miles north of

Osceola. It is 25 feet high, and covers an area of one-fourth of an

acre.

Collectors had already done much work on this mound, but obtained little

or nothing. The owner does not wish it disturbed further. A field of

several acres near by abounds in fragments of pottery, stone implements,

and the remains of houses and camp-fires.

The field contained originally many small mounds or heaps, which were

probably the sites of houses. In a number of cases skeletons have been

found beneath these heaps.
