Contents of the Connett Mounds on The Plains, in Athens County provide examples. The Plains is an unusually large section of relative flat land in the mature and narrow Lower Hocking Valley (Squier and Davis 1848: Plate XXIII). Over 20 mounds and 7-9 circles have been recorded by various investigators since the 1840s. Copper objects have been found. Ohio Historical Society salvage excavations of the small Connett Mound 3 recovered two fragmentary copper plates (gorgets?) hit by both a sharp and a blunt object laying beneath the cremated bones of an adult female (Skinner and Norris 1981). Their rectangular shape differs from the incurvate shape of copper plaques commonly found in the Central Scioto. They resemble those found at the Cresap and Natrium mounds in West Virginia (Dragoo 1963).
