of the skeleton, was a sizer of limestone (Plate ІХ, D), its needle of antler, much 
broken, in association. 
Burial No. 36, a child, having associated shell beads, large, medium, small, 
and minute, with others made from an undetermined species of the river uni- 
valve Anculosa. With this burial also were traces of red pigment, and the shell 
of a tortoise containing pebbles—a rattle. 
Burial No. 37, closely flexed on the right, bringing the right knee and elbow 
together, near which lay a netting needle of antler (Fig. 13, A) and its sizer of 
claystone (Plate XI, C, shown in cross-section, Fig. 14, C) which apparently had 
been broken ceremonially, as parts of it were separated one from another by at 
least 6 inches. 
Burial No. 38, a young child having at the neck a considerable number of 
beads wrought from the river shell Anculosa prerosa. 
Burial No. 39, closely flexed on the left. Under the skull, piled on one 
another, were three undecorated ornaments of shell, one badly broken, rude 
gorgets similar to those already described in connection with Burial No. 34. 
Burial No. 42, adolescent, closely flexed to the left. At the right shoulder 
was red pigment (iron oxide), and shell beads extended down the right side. 
Burial No. 43, partly flexed on the right. At the pelvis were shell beads 
and a barrel-shaped bead of jet. 
Burial No. 45, lying partly flexed on the left, had the upper part of the 
trunk prone. Extending around the neck were shell beads having at intervals 
among them, four canine teeth of the coyote, with perforations in the proximal 
parts. 
Under the middle part of the thorax was a sizer of fossiliferous, ferruginous 
limestone (Plate IX, E), and immediately alongside it, its needle of antler (Fig. 
12, A). Near these, on the chest, were many shell beads, and others were along 
the forearm. 
Burial No. 47, extended on the back, at the bottom of a grave nearly 6 feet 
from the surface, the thickness of the midden deposit at this point being 3 feet 
9 inches, so that the pit extended about 2 feet into the yellow, underlying sand. 
Beads of shell were on the temple, under the skull, at the neck, and on the chest, 
some, perhaps, displaced from their original positions at the time of the inter- 
ment. With the shell beads were three fine, barrel-shaped beads of jet, the 
largest shown in Plate XII. Between the femora and beyond the pelvis were 
two curved strips of shell of the kind often found among the beads at this place, 
this deposit being probably a gift and placed hastily without regard for posi- 
tion. On the thorax, below the neck, was a sizer of quartz (Plate XI, A). Most 
careful search failed to come upon the expected needle of antler, and no dis- 
turbance or deposit of shell in the grave was present to explain its absence. 
Burial No. 48, a disturbance accompanied with shell beads and two lance- 
heads of flint, 4.75 inches and 3.5 inches in length, respectively. 
Burial No. 51, that of a child about ten years of age, had three undecorated
