Burial No. S. — About 1 foot from the lower end of Burial No. 2 

 the fully extended burial of an infant was found. The body had 

 been placed on the back with arms along the side. The head was 

 toward the east. The preservation was fair, but the skull was dam- 

 aged by workmen before the burial was discovered. 



Burial No. 4. — At a depth of 18 inches partially flexed remains of 

 an adult female were found. The body had been placed on the right 

 side with the head to the north. The preservation was good. Associ- 

 ated with the burial were two mussel shells, one olivella bead, and 

 one broken pot. 



Burial No. 5. — At a depth of 9 inches below the ground surface a 

 rock pile made of 16 large stones was encountered. Under the pile, 

 at a depth of 21 inches, the partially flexed skeleton of an adult male 

 was found, the body lying on the back, with the face to the left and 

 the head to the east. The right arm was across the torso. The legs 

 were bent at the knees and lay in a vertical position. The preserva- 

 tion of the bones was fair. No artifacts were found in association 

 with the burial. 



Burial No. 6. — This burial contained a group of three skeletons, an 

 adult female and two children (pi. 86). The skeleton of the adult 

 (A) was fully flexed, and had been buried on the right side with the 

 head to the southeast. The preservation was good. The burial oc- 

 curred at a depth of 22 inches below the surface. The body of the 

 first child (B) lay on the back. The preservation was fair. The 

 body of the second child (C) lay extended opposite (B). The face 

 was to the right, but the exact placement was difficult to determine. 

 The preservation was poor. Part of the skull of the first child (B) 

 lay near the knees of the adult (A), which may suggest an intrusive 

 disturbance of (C) at the time of the burial of (A) and (B). In 

 association with these burials were found three bone awls and an awl 

 fragment, one worked bone, one arrow point, and a celt near the 

 stomach of the adult. An 8-inch bowl was found near the face of 

 the adult, and one perforated periwinkle shell lay between the femur 

 and the tibia. Four olivella beads lay near the lower limbs, and a 

 steatite ring, probably used as a bracelet, was also found. 



Burial No. 7. — At a depth of 26 inches below the surface, an adult, 

 laid on the back with the head to the east, was found. The left arm 

 was flexed over the breast and a large limestone rock was set on edge 

 over the right arm. The preservation of the bones was very poor. 

 No artifacts were found in association with the burial. 



Burial No. 8. — At a depth of 18 inches a midden pile of mussel shells, 

 periwinkle shells, bones, tortoise shells, and potsherds was found. 

 Under this midden pile Burial No. 8 was found. The partially 

 flexed skeleton of an adult female, with the face to the left and the
