Only the data from Site 13JH202 is of quantitative significance. 

 The positional occurrence of each sampling division was not plotted 

 since in total they represent selected units. It is apparent, however, 

 that there is no patterned alteration in species from the deepest to 

 the uppermost levels of the site. Further, no species is in a position 

 of preponderant numerical dominance although Elliptio dilatatus 

 (Rafinesque) is perhaps of most frequent occurrence. While many 

 specimens, particularly the land snails (Endodontidae, Polygyridae, 

 Haplotrematidae), are doubtless of incidental or intrusive origin, 

 most of the species were undoubtedly collected as foodstuffs. 



APPENDIX 2. MAMMAL REMAINS 



Site 13JII202 produced the only significant identifiable mam- 

 malian remains. An effort was made to retain all identifiable bone 

 fragments. Except the minute fragments from stratum A, the sub- 

 stantial total of excavated specimens is included. The sample, there- 

 fore, would seem to provide a reasonable index of the mammal 

 constituent of the site, quantitatively and qualitatively. By the very 

 nature of the material, precise speciation was impractical, hence 

 placement is on the genus level only. Identifications were provided 

 by Dr. Theodore E. White, paleontologist, U.S. National Park Serv- 

 ice. In table 1, they are listed in terms of quantity and depth. 



'The total of catalog lots In each depth range. 



Inspection of table 1 indicates the following : 



(1) No animal bone, identifiable as to genus, occurs below the 

 4.5 foot level. 



(2) The greatest concentration of identifiable mammalian remains 

 lies above the 1.5 or 2.0-foot level.
