44 BUREAU OF AMERICAN ETHNOLOGY [Bull. 179 



BUKIAL No. 1: 



Location: Squares S65-E50 and S70-E50. 



Grave dimensions: Indeterminate except for depth, which was about 10 

 inches below the present surface. 



Type of burial: Contained three individuals, all extended on the back. 



Orientation: Heads to south. 



Dimensions of skeletons: Indeterminate. 



Completeness: Feet, arms, and trunks missing. 



Preservation: Poor. 



Associations: One plain pottery vessel of Baytown-like paste (pi. 4, a) 

 containing 22 flint chips, 2 pieces of hematite, 1 piece of petrified wood, 

 and 1 small flint drill ; 1 greenstone celt (pi. 13, i) . 



Physical observations and measurements: Two adults, one adolescent. 

 Preservation too poor for measurements or other observations. 

 BuKiAi, No. 2 : 



Location: Squares S95-E50, S05-E55, S100-E50, and S100-E55. 



Grave dimensions: Depth, 9 inches below surface; other dimensions inde- 

 terminate. 



Type of burial: Flexed, on left side. 



Orientatian: Head to southeast. 



Dimensions of skeleton: Length, 54 inches; maximum width, 26 inches; 

 thickness, 8 inches. 



Completeness: Fragments of most major bones present. 



Preservation : Poor. 



Associations: A few inches to the left side of the skeleton was a round 

 depression, 14.5 inches in diameter and 5.5 inches deep, in the floor of 

 the grave. It was partially filled with badly deteriorated, black, fibrous 

 material. This may be the remains of a basket or other vegetal artifact, 

 but identification cannot be certain. 



Physical observations and measurements: Adult. Preservation too poor 

 for measurements or other observations. 

 BuKiAi. No. 3 : 



Location: Square S100-E5. 



Grave dimensions: Depth below surface, 14 inches; other dimensions Inde- 

 terminate. 



Type of burial: On back with legs loosely flexed to the right; arms folded 

 across chest. 



Orientation: Head to north-northwest. 



Dimensions of skeleton: Length, 47 inches; maximum width, 20 inches; 

 thickness, 7 inches. 



Completeness: At least vestiges of most major bones present. 



Preservation: Fair. 



Associations: None. 



Physical observations arid measurements: 

 Sex: Male. 

 Age: 45 to 50 years. 



Cranial measurements: Maximum length, 165 mm.; maximum width, 

 154 mm.; index, 93.3 (hyperbrachycranic) ; minimum frontal diam- 

 eter, 82 mm. ; bigonial diameter, 98 mm. 

 General observations: Prominent continuous brow ridges; no prog- 

 nathism ; widely flaring malars.
