MOUND EXPLOKATIONS. 



Tlie pots were .ut'iieially found at the head of the skeleton, but the 

 tine ornaniented one (Fiji'. 282) was lying on the breast of No. 7, while 



a flint knife, .some red paint, and wampum 

 beads were about the head. The pipes 

 were j;enerally close to the head. In one 

 or two (;ases they lay with the bones of the 

 hand. The large shells were always on the 

 breast or close to the neck, indicating that 

 they had been worn attached to a cord 

 about the neck, on which shell beads were 

 strung. The shell ornaments (like that 

 shown ill Fig. 283) were in every case at 

 the sides of the head, and, as not one was 

 found with a skeleton without finding its 

 counterpjut, it is assumed that they were 

 ear ornaments. The long pointed shell or- 

 naments, such as that shown in Fig. 284, 

 were always found at the back of the head, 

 as though they were used as hair orna- 

 ments.
