indicated by the cuts on the bones are characteristic of the other 

 Clarksville skeletons. Although, as the stratigraphy suggests, these 

 may be among the earliest burials at these sites, there is no reason for 

 excluding them from their respective series. 



COMPARISON OF THE OCCANEECHI SKELETAL MATERIAL WITH OTHER 

 SOUTHEASTERN INDIAN POPULATIONS 



Appropriate series for comparison with either the Tollifero or 

 Clarksville Series are not easily found. Neither the Indian KJnoll 

 (Snow, 1948) nor Alabama Shell Mound (Newman and Snow, 1942) 

 series, cited for comparison in tables 6 and 7, are particularly ap- 

 plicable, since they are too early in time and are separated from the 

 Tollifero site by several mountain ranges. Other series, somewhat 

 later in time, such as those from the Robbins mound in Kentucky 

 (Snow, 1942), Hiwassee Island in eastern Tennessee (Lewis and 

 Kneberg, 1946), show cranial deformity and are also remote geo-
