Description Human remains representing, at minimum, one individual were removed from the Lewis Creek Burial Mound, Augusta County, VA, by the Virginia Archaeological Society in the autumn of 1964 around the time the State Highway Department announced plans to work on access roads and ramps in the area. During the dig, Ruth Kent and Dr. Robert K. Burns, who according to the Museum’s records, was an embryologist and a member of the American Academy of Sciences, discovered the infant remains. The human remains, a skeleton, was given to the Museum by the Southern Shenandoah Chapter of the Archaeological Society of Virginia in 1964 and given the catalog number 64.1.001. On an unknown date(s), 52 cultural items were removed from the Lewis Creek Indian Mound in Augusta County, VA. The items were purchased from George Rusmiselle by Dr. Robert K. Burns circa 1936–1950, and were donated to the Museum in 1978 by Robert K. Burns. The 52 associated funerary objects are: eight red glass beads with blue and white stripes on a string (78.7.003a); 32 projectile points, some of which are carved from white quartz (78.7.003b); eight bone or shell beads (78.7.003c); one string of shell or bone wampum beads (78.7.003c); one string of shell beads (78.7.003d); one partial steatite pipe (78.7.003e); and one partial clay pipe (78.7.003f). On an unknown date, one cultural item was removed from the Lewis Creek Indian Mound in Augusta County, VA. The item was donated to the Museum in 1954 by Reuel B. Pritchett. The one associated funerary object is an unidentified Native American stone implement that may be marked, ‘‘Lewis.’’ The item was given the catalog number: 54.1.956.
