knife, except for a considerable polish on its broader end, resulting 
from use as a digging tool. 
At the center was a grave of irregular outline, 4 feet from northwest 
to southeast, 2 feet across, and 2 feet deep. The earth in the grave 
was extremely hard and tough. On the bottom lay a skeleton; the 
head was at the northwest end, resting on the left side, with the face 
turned toward the other end. Across the top of the skull lay part of 
an arm bone; the pelvis was near the center; the legs were at the 
southern end, close together, but not in proper order, the knee end 
of one being at the hip end of the other, affording evidence of a 
skeleton burial. The bottom of the grave was 12 or 14 inches wide. 
MOUND NO. l11 
This mound stood 56 feet southeast of no. 10. Its diameter at 
the base was 50 feet, and its height from 6 to 9 feet, according to the 
side on which the measure was taken from the surrounding slope. 
On the surface lay a few stones, which had been plowed up in the 
only attempt made to cultivate the mound. 
A grave a few inches beneath the summit contained an extended 
skeleton, lying on its back, with the head to the southeast. The 
body rested on flat rocks forming a pavement about 2 feet wide; 
other slabs were inclined outward around these, the outer edges, 
raised 6 or 8 inches, forming a shallow, basin-like grave. Timbers 
had been placed across this to support covering slabs which, when 
unearthed, lay at various angles directly on the bones; these bones 
were much broken and crushed and badly decayed, and the teeth 
were worn flat. The entire space covered by the stones, most of 
which were large and thick, was 64 feet-southeast and northwest by 
5 feet in width. . 
Beneath the northwest end of this grave, with several inches of 
earth intervening, was a skull, face up, the vertex being toward the 
northwest; the forehead and part of one side were burned, but other 
parts showed no marks of heat. The teeth were moderately worn. 
Directly under the skull were a femur, tibia, and fibula, and at the waist 
line several teeth, some worn to a considerable degree, some not at 
all worn, and one burned black. Southwest of the skull were other 
bones in small fragments. Outside and below the level of the south 
corner of the grave were fragments of a skull. This cranium, like 
the one partially burned, lay about 18 inches below the top of the 
mound. On the same level, a little south of the burned skull, were 
fragments of another, the outer plate burned black, the mner plate 
browned. Just beneath the former was a pile of cremated bones, 
with pieces of three pots, all lying in confusion. A foot southwest of 
these were fragments of another pot; a few inches north of this
