MYER] THE FEWKES GROUP 601 
No. 49, Plate 137, 6, shows the frugality of the Indian. This is a 
broken celt made of diorite. The owner had begun to work this 
fragment into another and smaller implement when it developed 
other fractures which rendered it worthless. 
GRAVE I 
Grave I is a very unusual shaped stone-slab grave 16 by 12 inches 
and 19 inches in depth. Its top edges were level with the floor of 
the wigwam. This stone-slab box contained the badly decayed bones 
of a child about 12 years old buried after decay of the flesh (United 
States National Museum, Division of Physical Anthropology, No. 
316093). This box contained no artifacts of any kind. 
Near the western side of circle No. 17 a small, irregular pile of 
unworked stones was found. This pile was 12 by 6 inches and 6 
inches in height. Their use is unknown. 
The only postholes found in this circle were the two at the eastern 
side. If there had been others, they had been destroyed by the plow 
or by time. They probably belonged to the wall of the building. 
GRAVE D 
Grave D was a stone-slab grave 100 feet southeast of the center 
of mound No. 3. It is shown in Plate 136, c. The coffin was 4 feet 
long and 16 inches deep, inside measure. The grave ran W. 10° S. 
Body of adult, buried in the flesh, head at west end of grave. This 
body had been loosely flexed and was lying on its right side. No 
ornaments or artifacts of any kind were with it, and the top of the 
grave had been removed by the plow. Only the light-colored tip of 
the large slab projected above the present surface of the soil. This 
was the body of a female. (United States National Museum, Divi- 
sion of Physical Anthropology, No. 316000.) 
Was evidently of a different type, dolichocephalic, and may have belonged to 
a different tribe * * * The skeleton shows extensive pathological (posterior 
periostitis) involvement of bones. As the skull and jaw were evidently not 
involved, the nature of the pathological process is uncertain.%? 
This woman had likely come into the tribe of her own accord by 
marriage, or she may have been taken captive and held there as a 
slave, or, more probably, taken as a wife by one of her captors. 
BunDLE BuRIAL 
On the exterior of grave D, at its western end, was found a pile or 
bundle of bones belonging to an adult. These had been buried after 
decay of the flesh. No ornaments or artifacts were found with this
