ABORIGINAL SITES ON TENNESSEE RIVER. 383 
Burial No. 63, a child, 15 inches down, having a small, rude, stone disc at 
the chin and another at the right of the skull, one of slate, one of kaolinized, 
felspathie rock. Fragments of a shell gorget lay on the thorax. 
Burial No. 65, the bones of a child, lying at a depth of 16 inches. Beneath 
the skull was a triangular arrowhead. 
Burial No. 66, partly flexed on the right, the left forearm aeross the trunk, 
the head SW.; depth, 26 inches. A small, spool-shaped ear-plug of shell was 
at one side of the skull, but its mate, for some reason, was not found. 
Burials Nos. 67 and 68, each a child having shell beads at the neck, 33 and 
21 inches deep, respectively. 
Burial No. 69, partly flexed to the right, with both forearms flexed against 
the humeri, the head SW. At the neck were six perforated pearls used as beads. 
A small celt of igneous rock was at the left shoulder. At the right side of the 
skull was a pile of graceful, triangular arrowheads of flint, thirty-two in number, 
all of which pointed in the same direction with the exception of five which were 
disturbed by the trowel, but no doubt had coincided in direction with the rest. 
With the arrowheads was a pipe of indurated clay, in fragments but since put 
together. 
Burial No. 70, partly flexed to the right, with both forearms flexed against 
the humeri, the head SW.; depth, 37 inches. Under the right femur was a 
leaf-shaped implement of flint, 7 inches in length. 
Burial No. 72, a child, 30 inches deep. Scattered around this burial were 
eleven small, flint arrowpoints of the usual triangular type found at this place, 
one beautifully serrated, which probably had been in a deposit with the burial 
of an adult, the bones of which the child’s interment had greatly disturbed. 
Burial No. 73, a child, 3 feet down, having near the skull the remains of a 
shell gorget which probably had swung out from the neck or chest at the time 
the burial was deposited. This gorget evidently had been attached to a string 
or strings of shell beads which lay in front of, and at the left of, the skull. Similar 
beads were found down the left arm and forearm, and along both thighs and 
legs. These beads, of moderate size, some discoidal, others globular with flat- 
tened poles, numbered 530. With them were 383 small marine shells (Marginella 
apicina) which had been pierced for stringing. Immediately under the chin, 
on the chest, were two discoidal stones, one of quartz, the other probably of 
some sedimentary rock, each about 1.5 inch in diameter. 
Burial No. 75, a deposit of calcined fragments of human bones occupying a 
space 20 inches by 18 inches and having a maximum thickness of 2 inches, 
lay 10 inches below the surface. 
Burial No. 76, lying partly flexed to the left at a depth of 28 inches, the 
head N. by W., was a skeleton having between the trunk and knees an inverted 
bowl, undecorated, somewhat crushed, which had been placed over an upright, 
undecorated bowl, also crushed when found. 
Burial No. 78, partly flexed to the left, the right forearm crossing the pelvis,
