Completed excavations of an In-
dian mound near Victoria disclosed
to a modern world that the pile ot
earth was more than a mere "redskin
cemetery."
Fifteen months of excavation, un-
der the joint sponsorship of the Uni-
versity of Texas and the Works Pro-
gress Administration, the long-un-
opened mound disclosed:
The largest human skull ever re-
corded, and another skull having the
lowest cranial index, because of its
extreme narrowness.
Approximately 250 skeletons and
approximately 5,300 artifacts.
That the fact that the mcund had
long been associated with the culture
of the Mississippi Valley, and that it
might possibly serve as a link be-
tween that area and Mexico, was a
fallacy.
A knife, apparently man-made,
found 31 inches below the fossilized
remains oi' a camel's foot bone, was
strong evidence that man inhabited
this section during the time of the
pre-historic camel.
Four major forms of burial, show-
ing possibly a change in religious be-
lief:
The first, the "bundle variety,"
consisted of a pile of long bones,
with the skull resting on top.
The second showed the skeleton
had been buried in a tightly flexea
position. The knees were drawn up
tightly beneath the chin.
The third was a variation of the
flexed position with the feet drawn
back to touch the buttocks and th&
body placed on the back, side, or face
The fourth was the extended form.
There were variations in this form,
; but the general practice was to piacc
the body on the face.
W. A. Duffen, archeologist in
charge of excavation, said that it was
generally conceded that South Texas
may prove to be one of the greatest
storehouses of Indian culture ancf
pre-historic civilization.
It was ideal for settlement by early
man because of its favorable climate,
as it was located south of the early
glacier areas.
