distance of 50 feet in length and 25 feet in width. It is doubtful if 

 the original campsite covered as great an area. The few sherds re- 

 covered resembled those gathered from sites listed earlier. 



Site UMc7.—K village at 78°24'16'' longitude, 36°35'03'' latitude 

 lay on the north bank of the Roanoke River above the 230- foot contour 

 and is approximately 200 feet long by 100 feet wide. Here was found 

 a greater concentration of potsherds, more than were found on any 

 site previously noted. All were sand tempered and showed about the 

 same exterior surface treatments (pi. 1) . 



Site U^Ic8.—A small village at 78°25'46'' longitude, 36°35'48" 

 latitude lay in an old cornfield on the north bank of the Roanoke 

 River in the Boydton Magisterial District. Surface indications cov- 

 ered an area rouglily 100 feet long by 75 feet wide. Upon testing we 

 found very little cultural deposit. All was incorporated within the 

 plowed zone which had scattered the material rather widely. One 

 trough-shaped metate and a nmnber of nutting stones were noted on 

 the surface. These were not salvaged on accomit of their weight. 

 Sherds, steatite potsherds, and projectile points were collected from 

 the surface of the site. 



Site Ji-JfMcO. — On a narrow sandy knoll on the north bank of the 

 Roanoke River in the Boydton Magisterial District, a small campsite, 

 100 feet long by 25 feet wide, was located at 78°26'32" longitude, 

 36°35'43''' latitude. This site had been badly eroded and had suffered 

 from high-water action during frequent freshets. Here a number of 

 artifacts were recovered. No definite cultural zone was noted in the 

 various test pits sunk into the site. 



Site Ji4MclO. — This village site lay 100 feet from the north bank of 

 the Roanoke River and well into the wooded area. It had never been 

 farmed, so scattering of artifacts and other cultural remains was 

 practically negligible. It lay at 78°27'05'' longitude, 36°35'22' lati- 

 tude and measured approximately 500 feet long by 125 feet wide. It 

 had been badly gouged by freshet action, but remnants still remained 

 that indicated the original area occupied by the aboriginal inhabitants. 

 The surface collection consisted of potsherds, steatite potsherds, 

 projectile points, and a few stone artifacts (pi. 2) . 



Site JfJ^Mcll. — Scattered sherds and projectile points were gathered 

 from an area 200 feet long by 100 feet wide which lay in an open 

 pasture. Its position was plotted at 78°28'16'' longitude, 36°34'31'' 

 latitude on the map which lay on the north bank of the Roanoke 

 River in the Boydton Magisterial District. All sherds were of the 

 usual sand-tempered ware and exterior surface treatments corre- 

 sponded to those located earlier. The site was not tested. 



Site JtlfMcl'B. — A flint workshop was located well outside of the con- 

 fines of the Jolin H. Kerr Reservoir and will not be damaged by con- 

 stiniction or the existing lake. Its position is plotted at 78°28'50"
