Mrs. Hyman Levine, who was be loved by a wide circle of friends, died suddenly a 'few minutes after six o’clock Thursday afternoon from a heart attack. Mrs. Levine, as customary, had walked down to the College Uepart- ment Store in the late afternoon and was waiting for the closing hour to accompany her husband home when the sudden attack came. Physicians were hurriedly summon* fd. but d«ath came instantly. Fun- eral -T-vices were held at Hart’s Moturary in Macon Friday at twelve o clock. Mrs. Levine had been in ill health for several years, but after spend- 'ng th ummer in the North Caro lina mountains, it was thought she was much improved. She came here aboin eight years ago with her hus- band ai d assisted him in the man- a ««ner.t of Jay's Department store, fow years later Mr. Levine open- his own store, the College De- Parttrur.t Store, and she continued 0 ■>'i t hint with the business un- j 1 h.enith forced her to dlscon- nu, ‘ her work. ‘•■I Irvine had a most pleasint? ^ or ty : nd made many friends va' Sh ‘ was always kind and con- it\- 0rat ° nnt * sleze< * «very opporturt ■> ° be of service to others, j. ‘J/ Levine is survived by her Levine^ '‘ nd tmc daughter, L«ah Sv mpath : REUCS FOUND ATOCONEETOWN 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.
