Burial No. 10, an aboriginal disturbance having part of the skull and of 
one shoulder cut away by the grave of Burial No. 11. This burial (No. 10) 
had been loosely flexed in a semireclining position. Near the head, together, 
were two pipes, one of claystone (Fig. 82), the other of limestone, both of an 
interesting and unusual form seemingly popular at this place, three of this 
kind having been found here. The shape, very novel, may be a highly con- 
ventionalized bird-head or animal form. An iron knife lay on the thorax and a 
flint arrowpoint was near the left thigh. 
At some little distance from the remains, though probably placed in con- 
nection with them, was a grooved hammer of flint.

Burial No. 11, at the bottom of a grave-pit slightly less than 5 feet deep, 
was a skeleton closely flexed in a vertical position, the knees in front of the 
chin, the arms along the trunk, the forearms brought forward to the outer side 
of the legs. Near the right elbow was a deposit of red hematite in powder, 
about 6 inches in diameter and 2 inches in maximum thickness, approximately. 
Partly around each humerus was an armlet of sheet-brass about 3.5 inches in 
width. These armlets had not entirely enclosed the arms, the extremities being 
about 1.5 inch apart and having each two holes to accommodate a cord or sinew. 
Around each wrist were bracelets of iron, two in one instance, three in the other. 
These bracelets, which are badly corroded, are open at one place, like the armlets. 
Burial No. 12 was at the bottom of a grave-pit, closely flexed and reclining 
against the side of the pit. Two pipes, one of earthenware (Fig. 83) and a small 
globular one of limestone, were at the left forearm; a small, flint arrowhead lay 
in front of the pelvis. А deposit of red pigment was along the left side of the 
trunk. 
Burial No. 13. This skeleton was reclining against the side of the pit, the 
thighs vertical, the legs bent against them, the skull bending over until it reached
