outline of a grave, others inclined at various angles as if a cover had 
fallen in. The tibia, though in better condition than the other bones, 
were much swollen as if from rheumatism. Beside the pelvis were 
fragments of an infant’s skull. 
West of south 16 feet from the center, 4 feet above the original 
surface, were decayed pieces of skull and of bones of the feet, about 
5 feet apart, with no other bones between them (grave B). A flat 
stone lay over the skull and several such stones over the bones of the 
feet; the latter, thus protected from percolating water, were tolerably 
sound, even to the phalanges. Only a few teeth, not much worn, 
were found with the skull. A round-bottomed pot of about a quart 
capacity had been placed upright by the right side of the chest. At 
the left side of the head, at a slightly lower level, was an inverted 
“cocoanut pot” of about half a gallon capacity. 
Under the feet of this skel- 
eton, at a depth of 2 feet, lay 
the upper portion of an 
adult’s skull; it was not con- 
nected with a burial, but was 
lying loose in the earth. On 
the same level as this piece 
of skull, 6 feet northwest of 
it, was the large clay pipe 
seen in figure 13. Nothing 
else was found about either 
the skull or the pipe. : 
Directly under the head of 
grave A were the teeth of two 
adults, one set worn nearly to 
the roots, the other set worn 
scarcely at all; a foot east of these were parts of two other sets sim- 
ilarly denoting different ages; traces of bone were found extending 
toward the west. All these remains were in a grave only a few 
inches deep. 
Distant 20 feet slightly south of west from the center, in a grave 
(C) extending less than a foot below the surface, was the skeleton of 
a child about two years of age. In a similar shallow grave (D), 18 
feet east of the center, was an extended adult skeleton, lying on the 
back, with the head toward the south; the skull, which was lying on 
the left side, though slightly crushed by. pressure, was in much better 
condition than any other found during the summer’s work. Only a 
few stumps of teeth were in the upper jaw, which crumbled away, 
though the teeth remaining in the lower jaw were fairly well pre- 
served. Eight feet south of this skull, a foot above the bottom, 
were fragments of several teeth and of jawbones, with no other bones
