Beautiful find, if not on burial site cherish it and show to those of us who keep these relics safe for future generations. I myself had the blessings and honor of finding a great burial site with two very large burial mounds , with large stones which were cut into various shapes. there were large storage pot around each mound . Most had damage from falling hickory limbs from two very large trees on either side. This site was in the middle of a two hundred and fifty acre swamp, and having the shape of a teardrop with a very long path leading to the site. the path was used to park their canoes while the people laid to rest the ones who had past on. I sat with tears in my eyes as I knew that I was the first to see this wonderful site after many hundreds of years . I phoned my Dad and told him I was looking at the most beautiful sites one could only dream of seeing. I stayed for over four hours, listening to the sounds of the winds which to me seemed like music from a long lost time, I have discovered many wonderful sites, but this one was truly special. It was left as I found it and while leaving in reverence wondered if I would ever see it's wonder again. I went back to the top of the hill overlooking the creek and hardwood valley, where the hill made a point, there were five large stones which were hand carved as chairs ,where ones upper legs would be was carved for comfort. These seats were for the chief and four elders of the tribe to look down upon their village, this was truly a sight to behold. I informed the wonderful family of whom I had just met the day before of what I had found , their family had never went into the deep forest of their property and had know idea of what importance and history was inside, they were astonished as I told them of the magnificence of what they had . Their ancestors were slaves before the civil war , having to leave, the plantation owner gave the three slaves he played with as a child the land he had, six hundred and fifty acres each, the property was passed down from the generations . This is the story MRS MARY told me . The family invited me to dinner and had tons of questions , I told them what I could ,and thanked the family for allowing me to tread their land . and allowing me to have the greatest experience of my life , the family is black and I am Irish native American , LOVE is colorblind . It was an HONOR to meet this family . GOD BLESS .
