Site liJiMc'B. — This village site, located in an old cornfield on the 

 north bank of the Roanoke River, 78°18'0" longitude, 36°34'35'' lati- 

 tude, was in the Boydton Magisterial District. The cultural material 

 was widely scattered, the deposit being densest at the western end 

 of the site. Sherds similar to those recovered from 44Mcl were found 

 at this site. 



Site JfJf.Mc3. — In an old cornfield in the Boydton ]\Iagisterial Dis- 

 trict on the north bank of the Roanoke River, 78°22'08" longitude, 

 36°35'03'' latitude, were the remains of an old village site. The 

 ground Avas frozen when this site was visited, and no testing was per- 

 formed. A surface collection was made consisting of sherds, projec- 

 tile types, a few briquettes, and a fragment of a long bone belonging 

 to deer. Examination showed that all sherds were sand tempered and 

 most of the exterior surfaces were either fabric marked, textile im- 

 pressed, cord-wrapped paddle, or simple stamped. The greatest con- 

 centration of the sherds and other debris lay at the upper end or west- 

 ern section of the site. 



Site UMc^.—Ai 78°33'42" longitude, 36°35'16" latitude, where 

 Easter Creek enters the Roanoke River, is a village site on the north- 

 em bank of the Roanoke River, in Boydton Magisterial District. 

 This site is about 500 feet long and 50 feet wide. At the time of visi- 

 tation the ground was frozen over and hence was not treated to a 

 series of test pits. From the surface a collection of the various cul- 

 tural remains was made, consisting of potsherds, projectile points, 

 and a crudely chipped chert celt. Again, as in other sites, the greatest 

 concentration of cultural debris lay on the upriver side of the site. 



Site UMc5.—A village site lying 2,700 feet west of 44Mc4, located 

 at 78°23'17" longitude, 36°35'22'' latitude in the Boydton Magisterial 

 District is 60 feet long and 50 feet wide and situated 100 feet from the 

 north bank of the Roanoke River in a wooded plot. Potsherds, stea- 

 tite potsherds, nutting stones, and a crude basin-shaped metate were 

 noted on the surface. The metate, slightly oval in outline, measured 

 20 inches in length, 14 inches in width, and 4 inches in greatest thick- 

 ness. The worn surface was slightly concave and sunk about I14 

 inches into the stone itself. No evidence of any mano, or handstone, 

 was noted from the site. IMetatcs, or grinding stones, were very scarce 

 and appeared to be atj^oical of the overall cultural pattern of the 

 valley. 



Site UMcG.—K campsite at 78°23'56'' longitude, 36°35'15" latitude 

 lay on the north bank of the Roanoke River in tlie Boydton Magis- 

 terial District. The campsite, situated in a newly planted cornfield, 

 was completely destroyed by deep and excessive plowing so that when 

 tested all cultural remains were incorporated within the plowed zone. 

 Tliroughout the plowed zone were fragments of rocks, chips of stone, 

 and an occasional sherd. Surface indications were scattered for a
