In 1968, a "relic hunter" discovered a Tunica Indian burial ground from the early eighteenth century. A large cache of artifacts
was unearthed including these: 200 metal (iron and copper) containers 100 European ceramics 75 pieces of Indian pottery

ear pins and beads 25 metal ornaments (crucifixes, fi nger rings, and buttons)
.
