ARTIFACTS 



All material objects were included within the mounded fill (stratum 

 B) ; there is no evidence of any artifacts associated with a disrupted 

 burial or burials. 



1. Pottery: Thin, cord-marked 'body sherds {sample: 2). Plate 27, a, 6. 



Thickness: 5.5 mm. 



Temper: Fine sand, i-ounded quartzite pebble inclusions. 



Coloi* : Dark gray. 



Depth : 0-1.0 feet below surface, squares 7, 8. 



2. Miscellaneous projectile point fragments. 



a. Apical fragment. 



Depth : 0.5-1.0 foot below surface, square 3. 

 &. Amorphous body fragment. 



Depth : 1.5-2.0 feet below surface, square 4. 

 c. Basal fragment, side or corner notches, convex base. 



Depth : 0.5-1.0 foot below surface, square 7. 



3. Miscellaneous blade fragments {sample: 2). 



Depth : 0.5-1.0 foot below surface, squares 1, 3. 



4. Fragment, thumb scraper {ISJHS-S). 



Depth : 0.5-1.0 foot below surface, square 3. 



5. Miscellaneous flakes with retouched areas {sample: 8). 



Depth : 0.5-2.0 feet below surface, squares 2-7. 



6. Tabular limestone inclusions, 



ANALYSIS 



The artifact sample obtained from the mound structure 13JH3 is 

 minute and largely inconclusive. The large identifiable basal frag- 

 ment of a projectile point merely suggests a "typical" Woodland 

 form. The two body sherds are somewhat more definitive. They are 

 quite similar, although somewhat more refined in execution, to the 

 dominant ware deriving from Site 13JII202. The latter has been 

 related to the Lake Michigan grouping (below). 



On the comparative level, the mound structure itself is equally 

 insignificant. The following traits are tentatively offered as char- 

 acteristic : 



Conical form 



Turf probably removed prior to construction 



Constructed as a single component 



Mound body probably composed of occupation debris 



No burial evident 



Limestone inclusion 



A consideration of these generalized traits will follow in the dis- 

 cussion of Site 13JH4.
