Abstract
MR. CLARENCE B. MOORE has concluded his thorough archaeological survey of the coast-line of north-west Florida. Although this district had not previously, been investigated, many mounds had been opened by treasure seekers and curiosity hunters, and thus valuable data have been lost to the students of American archaeology. This irresponsible exploitation of mounds for spoil has caused great loss to science in America, but the loss in the Old World has been infinitely greater, and too often this ignorant digging has been carried on under the auspices of “learned” institutions.
