Book excerpt: Excerpt from Archaeological and Ethnological Papers of the Peabody Museum, Harvard University, Vol. 1: Prehistoric Burial Places in Maine Several years ago, Dr. A. C. Hamlin of Bangor, Maine, kindly gave to the Curator of the Museum information of an interesting lndian burial place in Bucksport. In the summer of 1892, the opportunity occurred of securing the assistance of Mr. Willoughby, who is a Maine man and familiar with the region mentioned by Dr. Hamlin, to carry on for the Museum the exploration of this burial place and also of another at Orland. The results of these explorations proved so interesting, and the work was so admirably carried out in accordance with the Museum methods, that it was decided to use the material from the Orland site to illustrate the Methods of Archaeological Research by the Pea body Museum, in the Harvard University Exhibit at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893. The collection of specimens, as well as the photographs, sketches, field notes and a plaster model of the burial place at Orland, all by Mr. Willoughby, were exhibited in the Liberal Arts Building. The exhibit attracted favorable comment and was awarded a medal at the close of the Exposition. The Bucksport exhibit was made in the Department of Ethnology in the Anthropological Building.
