Answer:
<em>d. A dead Indian.</em>
Explanation:
When the Plymouth colony ship crew and passengers docked at the shore, a small party was sent to explore the area inland. When the exploratory party went inland, they first encountered an old European-built house with an iron kettle, which was probably left behind by some ship's crew. They also came across recently cultivated fields, some of these fields still had corn stubble. Next, the team came across an artificial mound near the dunes. When they partially uncovered the mound, they found it to be an Indian grave, with a dead Indian. As they traveled further inland, other similar mounds were found, which were more recently, and these ones were graves with corns in them. The team then took some of the corn, which they later used as seed for planting, and covered the mound back with its remaining content.
