that there were both seven beads and seven pebbles associated with this 

 individual. 



Burial No. 9 is that of an adult male, age 35-40, semiflexed, lying 

 on his left side with head pointing to the west. Around his neck 

 were the remains of a necklace made up of perforated canine teeth. 

 Each tooth was perforated, not by drilling but by attrition, first on 

 one side and then on the other, which formed opposing grooves. 

 These grooves were deepest at the middle and feathered out at both 

 ends. Contact was made in the approximate center of the groove. 

 Subsequently this aperture was slightly enlarged prior to threading. 

 The longest tooth measured 3.3 cm. in length, while the shortest 

 measured 2.0 cm. in length. One face of the enamel of these teeth is 

 incrusted with a grayish-black shiny substance which does not appear 

 on the other, or inner, face. 



Burial Nos. 16 and 17 (pi. 84), a primary and secondary burial, 

 together with the large turtle carapace at the foot of the grave, were 

 described earlier. 



Burial No. 22 is that of an infant that died at birth or soon after, 

 lying extended on its back with head to the southeast and legs "spread 

 eagle." Next to its right side was a turtle carapace cup {Terrapene 

 Carolina) . 



Burial No. 35 (pi. 83) is that of an adult male. Within the thoracic 

 cavity and in the proper position of the heart rested a crude quartzite 

 projectile point. Below the lower pelvis and on the upper right 

 femur rested 6 other quartzite projectile points, 2 terrapene carapaces, 

 several disarticulated animal bones, and a rounded stone. Around 

 the right wrist was a bracelet of shell beads. The position of the 

 thoracic point would tend to indicate that this individual was slain 

 and buried with some pomp, as indicated by the placement of the two 

 carapaces in natural position, the cluster of projectile points, and the 

 other objects of possible ritual significance. 



Burial Nos. 36, 37, and 38 (pi, 85), all occupy a common grave. 

 The bones of an adult female, a child, and an infant were intermingled. 

 None were in anatomical order. It seems that the bones of these indi- 

 viduals were gathered together after the flesh had left them, together 

 with their belongings, and dumped unceremoniously into a common 

 hole. Mixed with the bones were a number of olivella shell beads 

 and a few small disk-shaped Busy con shell beads. 



Burial No. 39 (pi. 86, h) is that of an adult male, semiflexed, lying 

 on his right side with head to the west. Above his right shoulder 

 and in front of his face was a rattle made from the carapace and 

 plastron of Terrapene Carolina. 



Burial No. 43 (pi. 86, a) is that of an adult male, extended, lying on 

 his back with head pointing to the west and enclosed within an 

 elliptically shaped grave. Resting beside the upper part of his left
