Description
Eight lots of cultural items were
probably removed from several
locations in Elmore County and Macon
County, AL, by Peter A. Brannon, most
likely between 1909 and 1934. Brannon
was employed at the Alabama
Department of Archives and History and
donated the cultural items to YUAG in
1935. Of the eight lots of unassociated
funerary objects, seven were probably
removed from Elmore County and
include 171 ceramic and glass beads
from the Upper Creek Town Fusihatchi.
Three bronze ornaments and 106 glass
and ceramic beads were probably
removed from the Upper Creek Town
Huithlewalli. Three metal ring
fragments and 224 glass beads were
probably removed from Tallapoosa
Swamp at Fort Toulouse. Forty-five
glass and ceramic beads were probably
removed from the Tallapoosa River area.

probably removed from the Upper Creek
Town Thlopthlocco (Laplako) in Macon
County.

trace the relationship: anthropological
information, archeological information,
