Burial No. 22, closely flexed on the right. Near the feet was an ornament 
of charred wood which had been copper-coated, containing, in a hollow space, 
small pebbles. Mr. Charles C. Willoughby considers ornaments of this class 
to be imitations of a milkweed pod (Asclepias), the stones representing the 
seeds, and fiber the fleecy material present in the pod (see page 263). In this 
instance no fiber was found, possibly through its having been consumed. 
Burial No. 23, a skull and bones in disorder, unburnt.

Burial No. 31, closely flexed on the left. 
Burial No. 32, a stone grave, rude but nevertheless of the box-shaped variety, 
the covering slabs, which had fallen in from one side and consequently slanted 
downward considerably, being 4 feet below the surface. The depth to the 
bottom of the grave, which was a fireplace and hard, without slabs, was 5 feet. 
The slabs, of limestone, were two on the right side, three at the left; and the 
covering slabs, which were two in number, and in addition a fragment on the 
lower part of the grave. At the head was a single slab, but none was present 
at the foot of the grave, for a cause that later will be apparent. Outside measure- 
ment, the grave was 3 feet 10 inches in length and about 2 feet in width. This 
grave is shown in Fig. 73, the water which collected around it being apparent in 
the illustration.
