Clarence Brookfield Moore and Burial Mounds

Clarence Brookfield Moore’s I. Mounds and cemeteries of the lower Arkansas River. Part II. Mounds of the lower Yazoo and lower Sunflower Rivers, Mississippi was published in 1908; it is available on Internet Archive. I enjoyed the illustrations of pottery from the book.

According to Wikipedia, Moore ran the company he inherited from his father for about a decade then turned its management over to others so he could pursue his archeological interests primarily in the southeastern United States. Many of his excavations were of burial mounds; his methods were to the standards of the time…and he did publish…but today the way he handled the mounds/graves would be problematic.
