cultural material, in which were bits of charcoal and fire-burned 

 stones, lay 0.7 foot below the plow zone, all of which rested directly 

 upon sterile red clay. 



Site 44Mc53. — This village site lay on the south bank of the Eoanoke 

 Eiver and to the east of the mouth of Grassy Creek. It covers an area 

 approximately 500 feet long and 200 feet wide. At the time of the 

 survey the field was planted in wheat and no test pits were inserted 

 into the site. From between the rows of wheat a number of sand- 

 tempered potsherds, a few projectile points, and a section of an ab- 

 original pipestem were picked up. 



Site jUMcSJ^. — On the side of a hill about 40 feet from Buckhorn 

 Creek was a small camp area 93 feet long and 33 feet wide which lay 

 in an old tobacco field. The cultural deposit, varying from 0.7 to 0.9 

 foot in depth, lay under the plow zone and contained sand-tempered 

 sherds, bits of charcoal, as well as stone chips and broken stones. A 

 small number of sherds and a few projectile points were recovered 

 from testing. 



Site ^Mc60. — In a freshly plowed field, in the Boydton Magisterial 

 District 78°32'12" longitude, 36°38'13" latitude, was located a camp- 

 site about 80 feet long and 30 feet wide. A number of test pits were 

 inserted into the occupational area which showed that the cultural 

 deposit extended only 0.3 foot below the plow zone. The test pits also 

 indicated that the surface manifestations far surpassed the extent of 

 the original deposit, which approximates 47 feet in length by 20 feet 

 in width. No great number of sherds were found at this camp. 



Site ^Mc61. — On the south bank of the Dan River opposite the 

 midpoint of Occaneechi Island in the Clarksville Magisterial District, 

 78°35'40'' longitude, 36°39'06" latitude, lay a campsite approximately 

 100 feet long and 50 feet wide. A large number of stone chips of 

 chert, quartz, quartzite, as well as jasper lay on the surface. Sherd 

 material was very scarce. 



Site JiJi.McG2. — In an old cornfield on a primary dike that was ele- 

 vated well above the surroundmg area in Clarksville Magisterial Dis- 

 trict at 78°37'17" longitude, 36°39'52" latitude was a village site 150 

 feet long and 50 feet wide. This area was tested and the cultural 

 deposit was found to extend 1.2 feet under the present plow zone. A 

 fairly large number of sherds, besides a few projectile points, were 

 recovered from the site. All sherds were sand-tempered. 



Site 4.^Mc63. — ^A short distance from site 44Mc62 on the south bank 

 of the Dan River lay a rather large village site at 78°37'32" longitude, 

 36°39'58'' latitude. Two outstanding things were noticeable at the 

 time of the survey : (1) the site had not suffered from the action of the 

 many freshets; and (2) local collectors and pot hunters apparently 

 never found this site, as the surface was not molested. The western 

 section had been planted in corn while the eastern section was allowed
