70 BURIAL MOUNDS OF THE NORTHERN SECTIONS. 
tery, and one whole pot. Around the neck and wrists of some of the 
skeletons were also shell beads. There may have been more than 
twenty-five individuals buried here, this, however, being the number of 
skulls observed. 
No. 7. Horizontal, on the left side, head northwest; no implements. 
No. 8. An irregular layer of water-worn stones, about 4 feet square. 
On top was a bed of charcoal 3 or 4 inches thick, on and partially im- 
bedded in which were three skeletons, but showing no indications of 
haying been in the fire. Scattered over these were discoidal stones, one 
small, saucer-shaped dish, shells (of which one is engraved), pipes, shell 
beads, and pieces of pottery. 
No. 9. A grave containing three skeletons, lying horizontally on their 
backs and side by side, the outer ones with their heads east and the 
middle one with the head west; no implements. 
No. 10. Horizontal, on the right side, head north, with stone imple- 
ments in front of the face. 
No. 11. Doubled up, top of the head south; shell beads around the 
neck azd celts at the feet. 
No. 12. A graye containing seventeen skeletons, seven of which had 
flat heads, two of the number children. Two of the adult heads were 
resting on engraved shells. 
In this grave were found four pots and two food-cups, the handle 
of one representing an owl’s head and that of the other an eagle’s head. 
One of the small pots was inside a larger one. Scattered among the 
skeletons were shell beads, polished celts, discoidal stones, paint, ete. 
None of the skeletons were inclosed in stone graves.1 
In order to convey an idea of the number of articles deposited with 
the dead in some of these burial places, I give here a list of those ob- 
tained from the pit last described: 
One stone ax. 
Forty-three polished celts. 
Nine vessels of clay. 
Thirty-two arrow-heads. 
Twenty soapstone pipes, mostly uninjured. 
Twelve discoidal stones. 
Ten rubbing stones. 
Two hammer stones. 
One broken soapstone vessel. 
Six engraved shells. 
Four shell gorgets. 
One Busycon perversum entire, and two or three broken ones. 
Five very large copper beads. 
One lot of fragments of shells, some of them engraved. 
A few rude shell pins. 

' The cireles and paralielograms in Figs. 32 and 33 have no other significance than 
to indicate the relative positions of the graves and the positions of the skeletons.
