KIDDER-GUERNSEY] ARCHEOLOGICAL EXPLORATIONS IN ARIZONA 67 
pitcher and a red bowl. Pressure from above had broken the left 
humerus over the lip of the pitcher, the radius and ulna of the 
same arm over the edge of the bowl. Over the feet was inverted 
about half of a red bowl, and in front of the right knee were found 
fragments of a small clay vessel. with ridges on the exterior. Three 
olivella shells were lying in contact with the left cheek bone; under 
the chin were four more, and six or seven were found behind the 
pelvis. The arrangement of these groups could not be made out, 
but the shells in each case lay end-to-end as though they had been 
strung. About the right wrist were olivella shells in the form of 
a bracelet, five strings of shells wide; the lower ones were too decayed 
for preservation. Traces of cedar logs which had formerly covered 
the burial could be made out in the sand. 
Skeleton 4, adult female, tay 6 feet due south of skeleton 2, 
32 inches below the surface, 24 inches above bedrock. Body on left 
side, knees drawn up to chest, and hands near the groin. Head 
south. The bones of this skeleton were in bad condition, a badger 
hole having torn out the ribs and some of the vertebra. The grave 
had been covered with cedar sticks 2 inches in diameter and 4 inches 
long, running horizontally across the body about 1 foot above it. 
There was no pottery, but in front of the chest and 3 inches above 
the knees was a pocket or deposit of sixteen flint chips and broken 
projectile points. Behind the shoulders lay two pebbles worked 
smooth by use in rubbing. Somewhere near the feet, its exact 
position not determined, was a small arrow point. 
Skeleton 5 (pl. 25), adult male, was found 5 feet east of No. 1, 10 
inches above bedrock, 44 inches below the surface. It lay face down, 
legs tightly flexed, hands at the groin, head south. This grave was 
overlaid with five cedar logs side by side, parallel with the body 
and 10 inches above it, making a covering 55 inches long by 18 
inches wide. The wood was considerably rotted and bent down into 
the grave by pressure from above. Beside the body was a piece of 
cedar 19 inches long, 8 inches in diameter, which appeared to have 
had a longitudinal groove on one side; it was so decayed, however, 
that its exact nature could not be determined. On the other side 
of the body lay a group of offerings running from the head to the 
feet. By the skull was a large red bowl with a handle, inverted 
and covering a double handful of pinion nuts; close beside it a 
broken pottery ladle, a small pitcher, and a rubbing stone. At the 
knees was a large black-and-white bowl containing a small red bowl; 
a large sherd lay at the shins, and by the feet was a red pitcher. Set 
on edge near the latter was a metate accompanied with a hand stone 
which showed traces of red paint. A large quartz chip was in con- 
tact with the left elbow. This skeleton was less crushed and gen- 
erally better preserved than the others.
