lage site. Sixteen mounds were excavated, and thirty-eight burials were 

 unearthed. A typical one of these is shown in figure 7. With the burials 

 were several interesting accompanying specimens of pottery vessels, and 

 in one case a fine bracelet of native copper beads (Fig. 8) was found in 

 position on the arm of the skeleton of a small child. A number of refuse

 of fine bone implements, some excellent pottery sherds and a few articles 

 of copper. Among the more interesting specimens found in the refuse 

 pits and camp sites, were fish-shaped pendants carved of Unio shell.
