346 ABORIGINAL SITES ON TENNESSEE RIVER. 
Burial No. 43, partly flexed to the right, the right humerus almost at a right 
angle from the trunk, the forearm closely flexed on it; the left humerus along the 
thorax, the forearm diagonally upward and across the trunk. 
Burial No. 44, extended on the back, the upper arms along the body, the right 
forearm diagonally across the trunk, the left straight down. At the neck were 
shell beads. 
Burial No. 45, at full length, face down, a post-hole having removed the 
skull, the legs eut through by a trench from an upper layer in the mound. The 
upper arms were parallel to the trunk, the right forearm flexed upward across 
and under the thorax, the left closely flexed against the humerus. 
Burial No. 46, partly flexed on the left. 
Burial No. 47, trunk face down, the legs partly flexed to the left, the right 
humerus extending almost at a right angle to the body, the forearm flexed to an 
acute angle with the upper arm, the left humerus and forearm being similarly 
disposed. 
Burial No. 48, disturbed bones of an adolescent. Shell beads and two 
small, flint arrowpoints were near the skull. 
Burial No. 49, a mass of disarticulated bones together, having four skulls, 
other scattered bones being nearby. Having been placed in a space between 
two deposits of red clay over burials, none of these bones showed marks of fire. 
Over part of this deposit of unburnt bones were grouped four masses of unburnt 
limestone, the largest 7.5 inches by 6.5 inches. 
Burial No. 50, partly flexed on the left. At the thorax were two pebbles; 
shell beads were at the neck. 
Burial No. 51, the upper part of the trunk face down, the legs partly flexed 
to the right, the right humerus parallel to the trunk, the forearm closely flexed 
against it, the left humerus at an angle of forty-five degrees from the body, the 
forearm flexed under the trunk. At the right elbow was a small shell disc, 
imperforate. At the neck were many shell beads and remains of a long mussel- 
shell which may have been a kind of pendant. 
Burial No. 52, closely flexed on the left. In the space between the thighs 
and the body was a celt of indurated shale, 7.1 inches in length. The handle 
of this celt was in place, but was so badly charred that it fell to fragments on 
removal. This burial lay, in part at least, on a kind of mat made of reeds or of 
small canes placed parallel in contact and joined together with cords crossing at 
right angles. 
Burial No. 53, closely flexed to the left. 
Burial No. 54, partly flexed on the right, both humeri somewhat extended 
in front of the trunk, with the forearms partly flexed on them. At the neck 
were shell beads, near which were three arrowheads. All the projectile points 
from this mound are of medium size or small, triangular, and delicately made. 
Burial No. 55, closely flexed on the right.
