Variously associated throughout the mound were a number of sheets of mica; pebble hammers; pebbles; several bits of chert and hones of sandstone.
SHELL
Upon several occasions fragments of mussel shells, probably whole at the time of interment, lay with human remains and with artifacts.
In one instance, with human remains and other objects, was the columella of a marine univalve neatly worked to a blunt point at either end.
REMARKS
This mound closely resembles many other low mounds of Duval County in the presence of abundant earthenware, of tobacco pipes of prehistoric pattern, of mica and of pebbles.
Nothing in the mound indicated acquaintance with the products of Europe.
Two Low Mounds at South Jacksonville, Duval County
These two mounds, almost contiguous, were on property belonging to the Hendricks estate. The ground, destined for building purposes, has been cleared and has evidently been under cultivation.
The smaller mound, circular in shape, had a height of 1 foot 8 inches, a base diameter of 52 feet. The mound had evidently been greatly spread out and a good portion of its contents doubtless scattered. The central portion was dug through, resulting in the discovery of a few sherds and here and there fragments of human remains.
