Excavation of the mounds was performed in 1H53. Indian mounds are burial grounds. The four mounds in Duplin were foundjo contain mostly the retrains of women. The mounds were examined by Dr. Joseph A Holmes who traveled throughout North Carolina studying Indian burial grounds. The Duplin mounds are located near Kenansville, Sarecta and Hallsville. The first and largest mound to be excavated by Holmes is located one-half mile southwest of the Duplin courthouse. The mound measured 35 feet in diameter and three feet in height. Excavation was made by beginning on one side of the mound and cutting a trench 35 feet long to a depth of nearly 2 feet below the general surface of the soil. As each new trench was dug, the dirt was returned to fill up old ones, which insured all the soil remained in the mound upon the end of the excavation. The mounds are thought to be made by the burial of many bodies over a period of time at the same place. Each person would be placed on the burial mound and members of the tribe partici pated in the ceremony by adding dirt to cover the body. The contents of the mound included fragments of char coal. a few small fragments of pottery, a handful of small shells and parts of bO human skeletons. The fragments of pottery were few and small in size. Most of the pottery frag ments were scratched on one side, but no definite figures could be made out. The Marginella roscida shells were small ? about 20-12 mm., and lay in one place which indicated they had been strung together. The skeletons were softened by decay and were beyond recognition in most cases. The skeletons were distributed through every portion of the mound from side to side, and from the base to the top surface in an even manner, but with no recognition of a 'definite pat tern. No remains were found below the level of the surface of the outside of the circular mound. A second mound was par ticularly excavated. The 22 feet in diameter, three-feet in height mound is located one-and-three-fourths miles cast ot Hallsville. hxcavation of one-half of the mound exposed portions of eight skeletons, fragments of charcoal and pottery ar ranged in much the same way as described in a mound located near Kenansville. The second mound was penetrated by the roots of trees growing over the site. The third mound was examined only enough to verify the contents .were human skeletons. The mound is located one-third of a mile east of Hallsville and it measured a circular base of 31 feet in diameter and two and one-half feet in height. The fourth mound is lo cated one mile from the site oi the old Sarccta post office. The mound measured 35 feet in diameter and two and one-half feet in height. A partial excavation of the mound resulted in the find ing of human bones and a few small fragments of char coal and pottery. Along with the publication of Dr. Holmes' report of the excavation of the Indian mounds in the January 6. 1938 edition of the DUPLIN TIMES, references to other Indian mounds were printed. The references were col lected by A.T. Outlaw, register of deeds, from public records in the Duplin courthouse. Reference was made to an Indian mound on the east side of the Northeast River "where Stephen Hol lingsworth first settled, called the Indian Graves or Quitou" prior to 1741. Several other Indian branches have been mentioned in Duplin, but were not specifically listed.
