Burial No. 6. — A flexed male, age 25-30, whose head pointed ahnost 

 directly south, lay in what appeared to be an oval grave 3.6 feet long 

 by 1.5 feet wide. The grave originated at a depth of 2.7 feet from 

 the present surface. Associated with this skeleton was a necklace 

 of small disk-shaped shell beads. 



Burial No. 7. — This is a flexed male, age 45-50, lying in an oval grave 

 3.8 feet in length and 1.6 feet in width; the origin of the grave was 

 found at a depth of 2.0 feet and its depth was measured at 3.3 feet. 

 Around his neck were the remains of a shell necklace from which was 

 suspended an miperf orated shell disk. 



Burial No. 8. — This burial, apparently a person of some importance, 

 was that of a yomig female between the ages of 17 and 20. She was 

 placed extended in the grave and was accompanied by elaborate arti- 

 cles of dress. Next to her left ear was a small, almost miniature, clay 

 bowl which rested upon its base with tlie mouth opening upward. 

 Around her neck was a copper necklace (fig. 49) , together with a num- 

 ber of necklaces composed of small disk-shaped shell beads, as well as 

 a number of large shell disk gorgets. Most of the shell gorgets had 

 double perforations near the margin for suspension and a number had 

 central perforations as well. One of the gorgets was inscribed with a 

 crude cross. On her wrists, extending halfway up to her elbows, were 

 what appeared to be wrist bands which had been completely covered 

 with pierced marginella shells; aromid her hips was what might be 

 tei-med a short skirt or kilt embroidered with pierced marginella shells. 

 There was a reddish color aromid the head portion as though hema- 

 tite had been powdered and sprinkled on her hair. 



Burial No. 11. — In an oval grave 2.9 feet long by 1.7 feet wide was 

 the extended skeleton of a very small child. The grave was first 

 located 2.0 feet from the present surface. A 2-inch ball of unfired 

 grayish clay was found lying against the child's left elbow. Upon 

 exposure to the air the ball quickly crumbled into a fine sand. 



Burial No. H. — The semiflexed burial of an adult male (pi. 78, h) 

 was located in an oval grave whose outlines so nearly blended with the 

 surrounding sand that grave dimensions could not be taken with any 

 degree of certainty. Around his neck at the time of burial must 

 have been a cord of some sort from which four disk-shaped shell beads 

 were suspended. 



Burial No. 15. — About 40 inches below the present surface we found 

 a small paved area composed of nine large flat stones. Immediately 

 beneath the pavement, touching one of the stones, were the partial 

 remains of an adolescent. Its head was to the northwest. We found 

 no grave goods actually associated with these remains but in the sur- 

 rounding fill we found a fragmentary bone fishhook. 



Burial No. IG. — At a depth of 2.5 feet lay the remains of a small 

 child in a grave which measured 2.4 feet in length and 1.5 feet in
