Note 



At least two different peoples have lived on this site. The earlier 

 people built the mounds and most of the other remains. At a later 

 date a small band of some other tribe located here. The earlier people 

 buried their dead either in hexagonal or almost circular stone slab 

 graves, the bodies closely flexed. The later band used rectangular 

 stone slab graves with the bodv extended full length on its back.
