This cemetery seems to belong to the same cultural unit 
on the focus level as do J¥32 and J°40 so that we are probably 
justified in considering its cultural content to be supplemental 
to the traits from JV¥32 and Jo40. 
Apparently a village site (J¥93) lies 50 meters to the 
southeast but it was under cultivation so we could not investi- 
gate it. 
THE JENNI MOUND (LOCATION XI) 
J°60 
The Jenni mound is 37 meters in length by 16 meters in 
width. The greatest depth of debris was found to be 1.60 meters. 
The mound lies at the northern extremity of a large level high 
terrace above the right bank of Plattin Creek. 
Several test trenches dug at various intervals around the 
mound revealed very few pottery sherds and only occasional 
chips of chert indicating that there was no village in the immedi- 
ate vicinity. The whole south end of the mound was disturbed so 
that no excavations were carried on at this point. 
Evidences of a ditch with modern chinaware at the bottom 
of it were found near the north end of the mound. Furthermore, 
a long iron rod used as a probe was found in the mound fill neat 
this ditch. Numerous pits dug by commercial excavators were 
found both on top and along the sides of the mound, Fortunately 
the diggers just missed a small oval stone box grave containing 
a few fragmentary bones of what had apparently been an I 
fant burial. Below the mound structure lay a rectangular stone 
box grave with a bundle burial of an adult along the south- 
east edge and a few fragments of a bundle burial along the 
east edge on the original ground surface. 
It was found that a large portion of the original surface 
of the northern part of the sub-mound area had been leveled 
before the mound had been erected. Two layers of dirt fill of 
different shades were found to have been used in constructing 
the mound. The lowest layer was much darker, probably entire- 
ly humus, placed beneath an upper layer which was lighter
