614 PREHISTORIC VILLAGES IN TENNESSEE (ETH. ANN. 41 
Fewkes extended-full-length rectangular-stone-grave people were 
probably related to the Gordon extended-full-length rectangular- 
stone-grave people. This skeletal material also tends to show that 
the Gordon site people do not closely resemble physically those who 
lived in the near-by towns whose culture appears to be related to that 
of the Gordon town. 
This small amount of skeletal material from the Fewkes and 
Gordon sites appears to resemble that found by Mr. Clarence B. 
Moore at Indian Knoll, on Green River, in Ohio County, southern 
Kentucky. It also resembles that found by the Peabody Museum 
expeditions at Madisonville, in the outskirts of Cincinnati, Ohio. 
Yet the artifacts found at Indian Knoll are entirely different from 
those of either the Gordon or Fewkes site. Indeed it would be 
difficult to find sites whose entire cultures are as different as that of 
the Gordon town and Indian Knoll. The Indian Knoll people 
buried flexed. The Gordon and the later rectangular-stone-grave 
Fewkes group people buried extended full length. Though Indian 
Knoll is in a stone-slab region, they did not use stone-slab coffins, 
while those of the Gordon and Fewkes groups did. The artifacts 
found at Gordon and Fewkes are entirely different from those at 
Indian Knoll. 
There appears to be some very slight trace of resemblance between 
the culture of Madisonville and that of the Gordon site. These two 
sites are probably related. 
Beyond all question, the rich valley of the Cumberland has been 
occupied by wave after wave of succeeding Indian tribes. Many of 
these were unrelated. The Gordon kindred people left more remains 
in the valley than any other. Further needed explorations will 
probably show many more.
