REUCS FOUND

EiavaHn Week Cirtmi n|
HwrWeetetfKrtcnaiFMie
SMdld Site ef VRkfg.
Excavation of old Oconee Town
an the Oconee River near Rod
landing continues under the di<
rectian of Dr. A. R. Kelly, acheeol-
ogist of the Smithsonian Institute
and many relics of the 17* century
have been found.
Dr. Kelly is doing the work with
the aid of the Georgia Archaeologi
cal Society and the Nancy Hart
Chapter of the D. A. R. Excavation
work has been in progress about two
weeks and Dr. Kelly ccfnes here
each Saturday from Macon where he
is supervising the excavation of the
Indian mounds there.
Dr. Kelly tells interestingly of the
discoveries made last Saturday:
The most important discovery Sat'
urday last referred to the finding
flint workshop on the edge of
the meadow in which we have
excavating. Large quantities of flint
were uncovered just beneath the
plowed ground. Flint cores, flakes,
small slivers could be scooped up
by the handfulls. Very little pottery
mixed in with the flinWJt seems
that we were fortunate enough to
strike into that part of the Indian
town where most of the flint work-
arried on. Several com-
K ieie flint tools and a good num
ber of partially finished specimen
were found In the area. Three small
pits in the ground under the fUnt
beds yielded a type of pottery diff
erent from that previously encount
ered on the site of Old Oconee
Town. This was an early and special
type of stamped pottery which
have been finding sporadically
various Indian sites in Middle Geor
gia. which, for lack ' of a better
name we have been calling Delta
class stamped ware. We know from
information gleaned from other site
explorations that this Delta stamped
ware is older than the regular
stamped, paddle-marked, and deep
ly incised techniques usually found
on mixed Creek-Hitchiti sites.
Also of interest was the discov
ery of about 75 new postholes on the
village occupation level in the forty
foot square where we first began
trenching. These post molds or Im
pressions coming out in the lighter
soil with about an equal number
brought out the first Saturday in the
same area indicate that the Oconee
villagers lived in rectangular houses
of simple pole and reed thatch con
struction. the walls being indicated
by straight lines of poles inserted
foot or more in the ground.
The pottery collections are in
creasing from Oconee and study of
material received thus far in our
investigation strengthens the sup
position that we are really working
on an old Hitchiti-Creek town
abandoned in the first decade of the
18th century. Very little historic
material, if any. has come from tne
occupation level and it rather looks
as if Oconee either had very lit^
tie contact with white colonists oi
traders, or, what is more likely, the
village was occupied for several
generations in the 17th century be
fore the central Georgia area came
into contact with coastal European
influence*. All in all, It appears that
the explorations at Oconee will be
important in throwing light upon thr
relations of Hitchiti and Creek In
dians at a period Just before Euro
pean contact became strong.

yean were present to see the G. M.
C. cadets defeat, the Brewton Park-
«r Junior College by a score of 20

It was another sign the depres

away highly pleased with the pros

Trailing at the half 7 to 0, the
cadets came back to win decisively
from an experienced, well coached
team. Showing a deceptive offense
and a strong defense the cadets
“went to town" in the final period
of play.
Kenmore, a last years star, and
Finfrock, a new comer, were
class of the G. M. C. attack. Nijem,
