 island. Bones, arrowheads and beads were found (Turner, Hoi., p. 

 34). A larger mound once. 15 feet high was opened by Squier in 

 1848. Below was " a circle of stones perhaps 10 feet in diameter, 

 within which were small heaps of bones each comprising three or four 

 skeletons. The bones are of individuals of all ages and had evi- 

 dently been deposited after the removal of the flesh. Traces of fire 

 were discovered upon the stones. The skulls had been crushed by 

 the superincumbent earth. There were bone and horn articles " 

 (Squier, p. 97).
