assume that they were part of a food deposit with burial 4. The presence of 

 the shell links the bones to that adjacent burial which was well furnished. 



Burial 6. — Adult female, fronto-lambdoidal deformation, head northeast, semi- 

 flexed on right side, left arm along back, face north. Inclusive, oval grave, 

 stratum IV ; poor condition ; incomplete. Strips of cedar bark 2-3 inches wide 

 and 1-2 feet long lay lengthwise over the body. Artifacts : 



/27. (PI. 52, a.) Projectile point altered to chalky state (by fii'e?). Vol- 

 canic ash and fragments of pumice on upper chest. 

 /30, /31. Fragments of bark and/ or grass from over rib case and left forearm. 

 Mussel shells were found beneath the burial, and fragments of bark lay 

 over it. A piece of barely recognizable antler lay in front of the skeleton. 

 Square 9RI, 2.5 north, 4.5 west, surface depth 2.5, datimi depth 9.4. 



Burial 7. — (PI. 48, a.) Adult male, fronto-lambdoidal deformation, orienta- 

 tion southwest ; semiflexed on left side and back, hands at pelvis, arms at sides ; 

 poor condition, incomplete. Inclusive in stratum IV, bar sand in an oval pit. 

 A mussel shell lay under the right elbow. Definitely below remnants of crema- 

 tion pit. Compacted organic material from over the left elbow appears to have 

 been grass, unwoven. Artifacts: 



/33. (Pis. 48, 6; 52, &.) Bone needle, point end missing (14.6 cm. plus 1, 

 0.9 w X 0.6 th). Diameter of biconicaUy drilled eye 0.4 on one side, 0.5 

 on other. Deposited with artifacts 35, 36, 37, 39, 41, 43, 44, 67, 73, 

 immediately above the head. 

 /34. Bits of organic material, could not be analyzed. 

 /35. (PI. 48, 6.) Projectile point or knife, opal, asymmetrical base. 

 /36. ( PI. 48, 6. ) Beaver incisor chisel, 6.8 1 X 0.8 w. 

 /37. (PL 52, &.) Bipointed bone object, possible gaming piece (7.2 1 X 



1.3 w X 0.8 th). 

 /39. ( PL 48, 6. ) Antler wedge or scraper. Bit end ground from both sides, 



scratches i)erpendicular, across long axis. (8.1 1 X 4.6 w X 0.8.) 

 /40. (PL 48, &.) Longitudinally concave-convex bone tip end fragment, 

 possibly fragment of one of the two valves of a 3-piece compound 

 harpoon. (3.6 1 plus, 0.9 w X 0.2 th., near right elbow. ) 

 /41. (PL 48, &, 52, 6.) Bone object, 2-pronged, U-shaped, inside of U and 

 inner prongs concave. 3.7 cm. 1 X 1.9 w X 1-0 th. X 1.0 between prongs. 

 /42. (PL 48, 6.) Jasper projectile point, same type as No. 136, not local- 

 ized, fragmentary. 

 /43. (PL 48, 6.) Blade or scraper, chalcedony, pressure worked on both 

 sides of one edge and rough pressure or percussion on other edge. 

 Blade, chalcedony, worked on one side of three. 

 Lamellar blade, chalcedony, secondary pressure 



Antler wedge fragment, base missing, tapered to blunt 



Projectile point, jasper, directly beneath right mastoid. 

 Projectile point, chert, beneath right mastoid. 

 Stem end of 2-piece steatite pipe, under right elbow. 

 Diameter at base 2.1 cm., at stem end 0.9. Hole diameter 0.9 to 0.5 cm. 

 /139. (PL 48, 6.) Bone point, probably point for compound toggling har- 

 poon. Under right elbow, oval cross section. (6.3 1 X 1.1 x 0.6 th). 

 /140. (PL 48, h.) Blunt point fragment of bone, tip of awl or point of 



harpoon. Diameter 0.8 cm. at greatest Near right elbow. 

 A41. (PL 48, 6.) Antler wedge fragments. Cut base, bit missing. Near 

 right elbow.
