it is believed that the grave of the chief of Clan-house 1 has an impor-

purpose. This is the only example known to the writer of an intra- 
mural grave of this character, although other burials within house 
inclosures have been found, namely, in the floors of one of the rooms

of the block in the southwest corner of Compound A. A human 
skeleton was also excavated from the plaza west of the northeast 
building of the same compound, at the point marked ‘‘skeleton” in 
the ground plan (pl. 6) of that compound.’ 
1 The writer is inclined to regard this burial as having been made long after the abandonment of the 
conipound, and the same may be true of the “ Eagle burial’’ also, near the northwest angle of Font’s room. 
Near the latter, however, were found fragments of decayed posts, as if part of the corral in which the eagle 
had been confined. The ends of these posts were inserted in holes below the general level of the plaza.
