A definite wall outline below the periphery proved that 
this was the remnants of a house with a depressed floor, A 
human skeleton partly destroyed by the plow was found only 
15 centimeters from the surface a few meters north of the 
rectangular house pit. It lay extended on its back and was a 
very short male of nearly middle age. A very small water bot- 
tle and a small common bowl with loop handles were found at 
the head. A portion of a rim was found at the head indicating 
that probably a flaring rimmed olla or jar was also buried there. 
Another extended burial of an adolescent next to the burial of a 
child with a small olla or jar at the head lay under a large lime- 
stone block which was 1 meter on a side. Several textile-im- 
pressed potsherds were found nearby. 
Large deep conical flaring mouthed ollas or jars, water 
bottles, ollas with narrow necks, large seed bowls, very large 
shallow bowls with and without textile impressions, plate forms 
with etched designs on the upper surface, disc shell beads, 
columella of Busycon shells, perforated shell hoes, polished 
celts with flaring bits, unperforated bone needles, small isosceles 
triangular projectile points and large circular grinding stones 
have been found thus far in the village debris. The ware is 
Imperial Plain and is often slipped with a red or orange clay. 
A few Crystal City Cord Roughened sherds have also been 
found. (See Plate VIII B).
