Re: CRAZED COLLECTORS, CRIMINALS: Trafficking US artifacts is a $5-$6 billion busines by Andy B on Monday, 24 December 2018

Between 1933 and 1938, human remains representing nine individuals
were recovered from the Lamar Mounds and Village site during legally
authorized projects sponsored by the Works Progress Administration. No
known individuals were identified. The 37 associated funerary objects
are 25 shell beads, 1 bag of beads, 1 worked shell, 3 bone awls, 2
stone discoidals, 2 shell earplugs, 2 stone celts, and 1 tobacco pipe.
The Lamar Mounds and Village site consists of two mounds, A and B,
and a palisaded village area. Archeological evidence indicates that the
Lamar Mounds and Village site was occupied during the entire Middle and
Late Mississippian periods (A.D. 1200-1650). The site is believed to be
the town of Ichisi (Spanish) or Ochisi (Portugese) encountered by the
Hernando de Soto expedition in 1540. Occupation of the site may have
continued into the early 18th century.
