PREFACE I y  
This report is the third of a series of museum papers dealing ` . Z
with the prehistory of Alabama and describes the excavation of i ‘
three mounds in the north-central part of the state. · i
lnvestigations at this site were started in 1934 in conjunction 1 I
with a six·weeks course in American archaeology which l%irming-  
ham-Southern College was offering under Dr. Carl Pl. (Qluthe of the    
3 University of Michigan. Dr. Guthe directed student excavations y J  
  on the largest of the three mounds as a complementary part of    
l his lecture course. At the end of Dr. Guthe`s course the .\labama i I  
  Museum of Natural History continued the excavation. completing i
  work on the largest mound in june. 1935.
E ln _Iuly, 1939 the 1\luseuni resumed work here and excavated y   i
‘ the other two mounds, concluding the site investigation in tlcto-   . i
ber. 1940,      
E '1`he Civil \\*orks Administration furnished labor during the    
i 1934-35 period of excavation, and the \\'ork Projects r\dministra— ;    
tion furnished labor and supplies during the 1939-40 period. The y  
V cooperation of these federal agencies is gratefully acknowledged. [ _ j E
