CONCLUSION 
The skeletal material from the Gordon and Fewkes sites brought 
to light a most puzzling set of apparent facts, and strongly empha- 
sizes the great necessity for further explorations in this region. A 
considerable amount of the adult skeletal material found was so 
deformed by the occipital flattening practiced by these ancient 
people as to be of little value in certain lines of research. Only one 
undeformed adult skull was obtained from the Gordon site and only 
one from the Fewkes site. 
The ornaments, implements, and other artifacts, and the modes of 
burial—the entire culture of the Fewkes flexed-burial people—appear 
to have been somewhat different from that of the Gordon extended- 
full-length people, and it also was slightly different from the other 
extended-full-length sites in middle Tennessee. 
The culture of the Gordon site people appears to have been closely 
related to that of many, but not all, of the surrounding ancient 
Indian towns in middle Tennessee. 
The one undeformed skull from the Fewkes group and the one 
from the Gordon group, and the other small amount of usable skeletal 
material from these two sites, appear to tend to show that the later
