  Austin, Tex. (UPI) The discovery of a dime-sized piece of metal in an Indian mound is causing some consternation among anthropologists.
   The COIN minted in London in 313-314 A.D., is found so frequently in Europe it is not worth faking, said Dr. John Kroll, assistant professor of classics at the University. It is inscribed on one side with the head of a young emperor wearing the laurel crown and the other side with the sun.  it was worth a nickel in its time and the only about $10.00 today. but Epstein said, "For my purposes, it's invaluable.'

There is quite a difference between Native American skull types and those of Caucasians. European skulls are long, while those of Native Americans are short and broad.


1888 History of Fairfield and Perry Counties Ohio

    The most thorough and successful examination conducted in the
county was by Professor E. B. Andrews, some two or three years 
before his death, in the autumn of 1880, at Lancaster. The mound was
situated near Greencastle, in Bloom township. He employed work-
men, and went through and to the bottom of it. The only discovery
made was a large quantity of human bones at the base and center of
the mound. The bones were chiefly those of the head and face, the
long bones having almost entirely disappeared. The specimens to
which the attention of the writer was invited, at the residence of the
Professor, consisted of teeth and portions of the superior and inferior
maxillary bones, and bones of the head and face, with, also, a few 
fragments of the cervical vertebrae. There was one entire skull, and 
several whole and half jaw bones, still retaining the teeth in their sockets.
There were, likewise, a large number of teeth disconnected with the
jaws. Most of the bones and teeth were entirely perfect in form, but
seemed to be disintegrating from exposure to the open air.
     In the anatomy and general structure of the teeth and jaw bones, as
well as those of the cranium, there were no perceptible differences from
those of the Anglo Saxon race. The teeth were sound, though some
of them were from the jaws of very aged persons, as indicated by the
wearing away from attrition. There were, also, the usual signs on the
necks and fangs of old teeth, showing the absorption of the alveolar
bones which form the sockets of the teeth ; and even incrustations of
tartar, or lime, still adhering to the necks of the teeth, precisely as the
dentist of the present day finds the situation in the mouths of his 
patients. In one or two cases the teeth were cupped, or worn down, in
some instances to the very margins of the alveolar sockets, and show-
ing the same glossy and smooth faces now seen in the mouths of people.
In the aggregate there were near a half bushel of these specimens. The
Professor subsequently sent them to some institution of learning. 
Regarding all the circumstances, it seemed probable that they must have
been the teeth and bones of the veritable mound builders, as the 
Indians would scarcely have penetrated to the center of the mound to
deposit their dead. Besides, the Indian custom of burying has been
known to be superficial, or near the surface.

Giant Skeletons Uncovered in a Celtic Druid Mound in New York

Giant Skeletons Uncovered in a Celtic Druid Mound in New York

Archaeological History of New York, 1915
   The burial mound, represented upon plate III, from the peculiar construction of the work and the character of its remains, appears to belong to a class of mounds different from any others embraced in this exploration. It is located upon the brow of a hill, still covered by the ancient forest, and overlooking the valley of the Conewango. This work has some appearance of being constructed with the ditch and volume outside of the mound, as in the Druid Barrows, but perhaps more accurately belongs to the class composed of several stages, as the Trocalli of the valley of Anahuac. The form of the tumulus is of intermediate character between an ellipse and the parallelogram; the interior mound, at its base, has a major axis of 65 feet, while the minor axis is 61 feet, with an altitude above the first platform or embankment of 10 feet, or an entire elevation of some 13 feet. This embankment, with an entrance or gateway upon the east side 30 feet in width, has an entire circumference of 170 feet. As previously remarked, the work itself, as well as the eminence which it commands, and the ravine upon either side, are overshadowed by the dense forest. The remains of a fallen tree, embedded in the surface of the mound and nearly decomposed, and which from appearance, had grown upon the apex, measured nearly 3 feet in diameter, and heavy timber was growing above the rich mold it had formed. Thus we had some indicia of the age of this work. The mound indeed, from the peculiar form of its construction, as well as from the character of its contents, has much resemblance to the Barrows of the earliest Celtic origin, in the Old World. In making an excavation, eight skeletons, buried in a sitting position and at regular intervals of space, so as to form a circle within the mound, were disinterred. Some slight appearance yet existed, to show that the framework had inclosed the dead at the time of interment. These skeletal remains were of a very large size but were so much decomposed that they mostly crumbled to dust. The relics of art here disclosed were also of a peculiar and interesting character

FIND ROMAN COIN IN INDIAN MOUND IN HANCOCK COUNTY, ILLINOIS  
    
    Chicago, March 13 - An old coin discovered in an Illinois Indian mound in Hancock County, and examined by Dr. Alfred Emerson of the Chicago Art Institute, a famous numismatist, was declared to be either an old Greek or Roman coin.  Dr. Emerson said he had never seen one like it, but that he was certain it was coined in Rome or Greece during the period between 250 B.C. and 250 A.D.

    The discovery of the coin has awakened scientific interest here in the Indian mounds.  It is believed that they may furnish proof that white men were on the American continent 2,000 years agoi, scientists today asserted.
