and intercardinal points. Horizontal distances, until near the cen- 
ter, will be measured from the outer limit of the trench; vertical dis- 
tances from the original level of the natural surface. 
NORTH SECTOR 
Remains, of whatever character, were less frequent in the north 
sector than in any other. 
At 3 feet in, on bottom, was a pile of bones indicating a bundled 
or bunched burial. 
Four feet in, 3 feet up, was a spade by some teeth and fragments of 
skull; there were no other bones. 
Eight feet in, a foot up, loose in the earth, was a broken hematite 
gorget. It had apparently been elliptical in form, with two perfo- 
rations, but had been broken across one of these. ‘The fractured end 
had been ground smooth and another hole drilled nearer the center. 
(Pl. 81, a.) 
At the bottom, 8 feet in, was the skeleton of a slender person, ex- 
tended, on back, head east. The body had been covered with fine 
yellow sand, with a deposit of red clay at either end. The teeth 
were considerably worn, indicating at least middle age. It may have 
been the skeleton of a woman. 
A few inches east of the skull of this skeleton was another skull, 
apparently belonging to a body which extended eastward. Most of 
the bones of these two burials were disintegrated until they resembled 
coarse yellow corn meal. 
Ten feet in, on bottom, was a folded skeleton, head southeast. One 
femur of this was the only large bone so far found which could be 
taken out entire; it measured 15 inches in length. 
On the bottom, 12 feet in, was a folded skeleton, the head toward 
the east, with some lumps of clay laid against it. 
NORTHEAST SECTOR 
Six feet in, 2 feet up, was a skull, crushed flat. There were no 
other bones. 
Loose in the earth, 10 feet in, near the surface of the mound, was 
a spade 514 by 15 inches. (PI. 82, a.) 
NORTHWEST SECTOR 
Twelve feet in, 18 inches up, was the folded skeleton of a young 
adult, the femur measuring 1414 inches. It lay on right side, head 
northeast. In front of the face was a spade 4 by 13 inches, whose 
smoothly worn surface proved that it had long been in use.
