coarsely chipped isosceles projectile points and coarsely chipped 
stemmed projectile points indicates a Woodland pattern influ- 
enced by Middle Mississippi. No pottery or other artifacts were 
found below the mound reflecting the possibility that this mound, 
like J°1, was of the same age as the village. 
Several irregular burned areas were found close to the sur- 
face a few meters S.W. of J°35. These were temporary 
fireplaces. Potsherds and other artifacts were found near these 
fireplaces and in the trenches placed between J°2 and J°35. A 
few meters west of J935 were a few flint rejects and large num- 
bers of small flint chips indicating a small work shop. Besides 
stemmed projectile points a grooved ax of hematite, irregular 
hammerstones and Herculaneum Cord Roughened pottery were 
found. However, Imperial Plain ware was lacking. (See Plate 
III A). A few animal bones were found, fragments of the deer. 
The structural differences and complete lack of Imperial 
Plain ware from J°l indicates that Jol and J°35 were differ- 
ent although related components. The extended burial below the 
south edge of J°l is also in all probability a separate component 
and preceded the construction of J°1 and J935 possibly by a con- 
siderable period of time. J°2 could not be compared with Jol or 
J°35 although the presence of rocks and fragments of human 
burial in a mound suggested relationship with J°l and J°35. J¥5 
appears to have been occupied during the construction of the 
mounds as sherds were found in the mound fill although they 
were not present under any mound. The village and mound com- 
plex all seem to belong to a Woodland Pattern with Mississippi 
influence (see also trait analysis charts in Section V). 
THE GOVRO MOUND (LOCATION V) 
J057 
The Govro mound has no village near it. It is also on 4 
high bluff but overlooks Plattin Creek above the left bank. It 
is a long low mound 27 meters by 13 meters and was less than 
1 meter high before investigations. The long axis is in an ENE 
by WSW direction. The bluff dips sharply on either side of the 
long axis but slopes off more gradually from either end of the
