A report of the Bummer work
by an expedition of the department
of anthropology of the University
of Chicago to tne mounua im .
Ohio fiver was made by Prot Fay-
Cooper Cole, head or. tne ueparv
meat, and bis research assistant,
Thome Duell, who was in charge
of the group of fifteen. The site la.
eight miles from Paducah on the
Illinois side of the river, if ,
As this site Is near the meeting
place of live rivers and therefore a
natural trading place for prehis
toric as well as for historic groups.
Doctor Cole expected to find evi
dence of a mingling of cultures
there, and be baa not been disap-,
pointed. '
The Intimate connection between
Arkansas, Ohio and Illinois groups
Is shown, adding to the material
for the survey which U being made
of ancient cultures of the entire
Mississippi valley region. This
whole Is s gradual story of the In
fluence of mld-Amerlcan cultures
spreading northward, according to
Professor Cole.
Outgrowth of Contacts.
It was not-necessarily an Inva
sion, or a migration of the Aztec
and Mayan people, but the slow out
growth of contacts by hunting, trade
or ware.
"It Is almost a certainty," said Doc
tor Cole, "that the Ideas put Into
execution by these people- of the
Illinois mounds spread from middle
America. Before the discovery of
America, the Central and South
American plateaus were centers of
high culture."
.The American sge that Is being
uncovered In these mounds might
be compared with the Neolithic In
Europe. The last occupation was
close to the Spanish invasion. The
first occupation may have been a
thousand years earlier.
There are about 100 seres on the
Ite worked upon during the sum
mer. It was a village site, with a
playground Indicated by the finding
of "chunky stones," or disks, with
which the people played. The
burial grounds have not been foand.
Only the body of one infant was
discovered. The main site worked
over was the "House pyramid,"
which covers one and eight-tenths
acres and is 30 feet high.
Two Different Cultures.
There are two other pyramid-like
mounds and a number of low hil
locks. In one village site four
houses were uncovered, one super
imposed on the other.
We Hnd here two occupations
and two different cultures," said
