SKULLS AND BONES
Cartersville, Ga., April 4.
- The water has receded from the Etowha Mound Field, and has
left uncovered acres of skulls and bones. Some of these are
gigantic. If the whole frame is in proportion to two thigh
bones that were found, their owners must have stood 14 feet high.
Many curious ornaments of shell, brass and stone have been
found. Some of the bodies were buried in small vaults built of
stone. The whole makes a mine of archaeological wealth. A
representative of the Smithsonian Institution is here
investigating the curious relics.
