Indian l7on::;.i Way Explain From Excavations of "various Indian mounds in tha South Atlantic states this summer archaeologists hop to find clues to the riddle of the ap parent great migrations of the early American Indian. , , For instance,, what event or cir cumstance of early times caused tribes of Siouan origin to occupy South Carolina and Georgia? The Sioux na tion belongs to the American west. They are plains Indians. Yet there were Siouan tribes hereabouts, , the archaeologists say, long before the tribes the white man found here. Achaeologists have theories about these things, but only theories. Some of the Indian mounds of the South Atlantic states have been known for .two hundred years or more, but they . remain to be excavated, many of them. One of the most important excava tions this summer is in the Wateree swamp near Camden, S. C. The ex cavations have already uncovered sev eral skeletons, estimated to be 700 yeans old or more, and some relics. The excavation project was started when IDavid Williams, owner of Mul berry plantation en which the mound is situated, noted that the Wateree river is changing its course and that the mound would eventually be wash ed away and lost to science. Heading the project is Dr. A. R. Kelly, director of the department of anthropology and archaeology at the University of Georgia, who has dug into many mounds in the Southeast, and Jack Hanahan, curator of natural science at the Charleston Museum. The diggings indicate, according to Or. Kelly, that the ground was built up over many generations, probably by baskets of earth brought to the site from elsewhere. The theory is that this mound was first built fori Arm v in Jsnnnrv vaar i j . . . a temple, and later was used for burial purposes by a later tribe. The origi nal builders apparently -deserted the While archaeologists and anthropolo gists look to the project for soma clues to the past, the future isn't over looked. Samples of soil from the mound site have been collected and sent to research laboratories where the quest goes on continuously . for new antibiotics with which to fight disease in humans and animals. , Antibiotics such as the golden mold. aureomycin. are made xrom molds produdU by mkro-organisms in the soil. Since aureomycin was found in soil sample 1 from Missouri, the search is organized so that samples will be gathered from all. places in cluding some of tiie strange and re mote parts of the world. 'Scientists believe that somewhere possibly in someone's backyard, or in some unusual and unfrequented place like the Indian mound deep in the watery swamp there may be a soil with a strain of micro-organisms ihat will prove as effective in man's war against disease as that soil sample which gave the world aureomycin.
