the hind limbs. No. 36 o{ the Hoard Group is similar, but has a truncated tail. 

 Mound No. 61 shows still another departure in outline. . . . The four mounds just 

 mentioned have no duplicates in the area. All the mounds shown in . . . [fig. 16] 

 are similar in that the animal is represented from a dorsal xiew . . . 



THE CROUPINQ 



A study of the various groups shows that there was no uniform plan in their con- 

 8tniction. In general they occupy prominent elevations near the lake. There is a 

 rather promiscuous mingling of types and arrangement of mounds which suggests that 

 a group is the result of several or many years of continuous building during which 

 mounds were added as desired and simply grouped to suit the immediate topography."

The Man Mound 



What probably constitutes the most interestmg type of mound 

 found in Wisconsin is the so-called Man mound, two examples of 

 which are known, both from Sauk County, one from Greenfield 

 Township and the other known as the La Valle Man mound. The 

 second of these has long been obliterated, but is known to us from a 

 plat made by Mr. Canfield in 1872 (figs. 14, 18.) 



Lapham '" described the Greenfield township Man mound as 

 follows: 



The figure is no less than 214 feet in length, the head 30 feet long, the body 100, and 

 the legs 84. The head lies toward the south and the movement [of the body] is west- 

 is The following will give an idea of the material collected from one village site in this region. The village 

 site is known as the White Crow site. The information is taken from the Wisconsin Archeologist, vol. 

 7, no. 2, p. 93. ♦
