Northwest of this burial at a distance of 23 inches was a burial 

 of a small dog. It appeared in a midden area, deposited 7 inches 

 higher than Burial No. 4. The dog burial was not certainly asso- 

 ciated with Burial No. 5. 



Pottery 



Since no excavations were possible in the surrounding village 

 all pottery from this site was taken from Mounds Nos. 1 and 2. 

 There seemed to be no difference in the pottery complex from the 

 two mounds. The sherds are fairly well preserved, with a pre- 

 dominance of heavy ware. The types, in form and relative abun- 

 dance, follow closely those illustrated in Site No. 11. There was no 

 evidence here of zoomorphic forms. Large vessels of fairly coarse 

 texture, shell-tempered, cord-paddle-marked, or textile-impressed, 

 appeared in abundance. There was some evidence of resmoothing 

 the surface of vessels after paddling. Both round and strap handles 

 were found in small number. Both flat and round lugs were ob- 

 served. The flat lugs occurred both on the rim and below it. The 

 practice of deforming a circular rim to an approximate square by 

 putting it upward at the four corners, as illustrated in plate 79, a, 

 was found here. Below each point thus produced was a round lug. 

 Plate 65, &, is a small pot 5.25 inches in diameter of plain ware taken 

 from a midden pit in Mound No. 2. One sherd was found which 

 evidenced the outside application of red paint. Two sherds of 

 stamped ware were found. 



Artifacts 



From the general excavation in the mounds only a few artifacts 

 were found which were not associated with burials. Plate 66, b, 

 shows the forms of arrow points and celts found. There is also 

 illustrated a spool-shaped pottery object, a polished flint chisel, a 

 crude slate spear point, and fragments of stone pipes. 



Plate 67, a, illustrates other pipes from this site. Four are stone, 

 but the second and third from the right are pottery. No. 6, on the 

 extreme left, is an unfinished pipe form with a rough pecked surface. 

 Discoidals were quite numerous in both mounds. These were made 

 from a variety of materials, including limestone, sandstone, granite, 

 quartz, dolomite, cannel coal, basalt, iron carbonate (hematite coat- 

 ing), and potsherds. Potsherds used for this purpose show both 

 cord-paddle marks and textile impressions. Relatively few of the 

 stone disks are decorated or drilled. 



Bone artifacts found include worked antlers, awls, and cut bone. 

 Plate 67, 6, shows shell pendant and fragments of hairpins and 

 bone fishhook, with a variety of bone and antler awls.
