FIG. 31. Ear ornaments of copper; also a wood handle covered with copper and a woven fabric preserved by the salts of copper. The other ornaments found in the grave were a necklace of shell beads made from the columella of some ocean shell, and numbered twenty-three well made beads. The necklace is shown in Fig. 32. In the left hand of the skeleton was placed an ornament made of the anterior part of the lower jaw of the gray wolf. The cut jaw is shown in Fig. 32. When in use as an ornament no doubt the two halves of the jaw were together. RESUME. The examination of the Hazlett Mound has established the fact that the Hopewell culture in Ohio constructed the mound, and proves beyond doubt that this culture resorted to Flint Ridge for the raw material for the manufacture of many of their artifacts and further that they had established themselves upon the ridge and in close proximity to the good flint quarries. No evidence is forthcoming as to the length of time the site was used. It may have been the refuge of the Hopewell culture from time to time as they would come to the Ridge for their supplies of the raw material. I fully expected to find some evidence that this building covered by the mound was used as a storehouse for blades and cores, for here a formidable defense could have been staged, behind stone walls of unusual size and height, against great odds if it became necessary to do so. I do not feel that this fortified site, one and one-half miles from the great central quarries, was intended to guard any part of the quarries. I do feel certain, however, that such a fortified place so near to the source of supply served to guard the raw material after it had been manufactured into blades and cores, but no evidence that it was used for this purpose was found. Vol. XXX-11, GEORGE FREDERICK WRIGHT. IN MEMORIUM. In the fullness of years and bearing the honors of a life devoted to science and the service of his fellow men, Doctor George Frederick Wright, President Emeritus of the Ohio State Archæological and Historical Society, passed to his final reward April 20, 1921. While he had been failing in strength for a few months past he was able to continue his work almost to the day of his death and was cheerfully looking forward to a return to health and planning further contributions in his chosen field of interest and research. In a letter addressed to the Secretary of the Society under date of April 11, 1921, he wrote: "I was very glad to receive your letter and learn that you were going to put Dr. Wilson's article in the April number of the QUARTERLY. "It is true that I have been under the weather for four weeks * * *, but I have not been incapacitated for office work any of the time, and hope soon to be out and around as usual." The reference in this letter is to the article which appears in this issue of the QUARTERLY, on the serpent worship and monuments of India and the serpent mounds of Ohio-a subject on which Dr. Wright had thought much and to which he referred at the last annual meeting of the Society. It is worthy of note in this connection that at the first annual meeting of the Society in 1886 Dr. Wright read a paper on "The Relation |
