An Historic Indian Burial From Columbia County, Georgia

Description:

An historic burial was found at Stallings Island, Columbia County, Georgia. Grave goods reveal that it was an Indian burial, and documentary sources suggest that it may have been a Yuchi interment of the early 18th century. The mortuary offerings do not negate this supposition. Trade items and certain aboriginal sherds, previously found on Stallings Island, may well have been approximately contemporaneous with the aforesaid burial. Footnotes. Sketches. Bibliography.
