All of the burials were badly decomposed. At the present time the 

 graves were fairly shallow, being a foot or more beneath the present 

 surface. After carefully uncovering the remains we found that all 

 were flexed; head direction was not uniform, neither was the place- 

 ment. Some lay on their left sides, others on their right sides, while 

 one was placed upon its back. We found no burial offerings or bodily 

 ornaments with any of them. 



We found that burial No. 1 was the best preserved of the lot. It 

 was placed into an oval-shaped pit. This pit rested directly above 

 two earlier midden-filled pits (fig. 59) .
