and perhaps later construction on this site, which may account for 

 the incompleteness of this post-mold pattern. 



Feature No. 9. — A midden pit 5 feet in diameter and 12 inches 

 thick was found in the extreme north end of the trenched area as 

 shown in the ground plat, figure 57. A considerable portion of the 

 midden was of mussel and periwinkle shells. There were some animal 

 bones and a few potsherds were also found. 



Feature No. 10. — South of Feature No. 9 in the trench was a pit 

 46 inches in diameter at the surface of the hardpan and 59 inches 

 in diameter at the bottom. It was 27 inches deep. This pit was 

 found filled with village-site rubbish. Its form and use definitely 

 suggested a storage bin, which when emptied of its storage of food- 

 stuff had been filled wifh refuse from the village surface in some 

 ancient "clean-up" campaign. 



Feature No. 11. — An ash pit in the southward extension of the 

 main trench was 9 feet by 7 feet and 5 feet deep. This pit was filled 

 with ashes in which one discarded broken celt and many potsherds 

 were found. 



Feature No. 12. — Near the west end of the main trench was a 

 post-mold pattern indicating a structure 16.8 feet by 11 feet, oriented 

 as shown in the ground plat, figure 57. The posts had been set in 

 trenches. The south line of molds was partly missing. Associated 

 with this structure was Burial No. 1 and Features No. 13 and No. 14. 

 A plat of this feature is shown in figure 59. 



Feature No. 13. — This was a shallow midden pit 37 inches in di- 

 ameter, extending 9 inches into the hardpan. This pit was located 

 in and associated with Feature No. 12, as shown in plate 93, o. The 

 pit contained animal bones, shell spoons, and potsherds. 



Feature No. llf.. — This was a circular pit for storage. It is also 

 shown in plate 93, o. It was cut 4 feet into the clay hardpan with 

 the bottom 4.5 feet below the ground surface. The top of the pit 

 was 44 inches in diameter at the hardpan surface and 48 inches in 

 diameter at the bottom. The pit was filled with village refuse 

 which contained potsherds, mussel shells, animal bones, and some 

 well-worked shell spoons. An infant burial was found. 



Burial No. 1. — Associated with Feature No. 12, and shown in plate 

 93, £>, was the burial of an adult male. This burial was fully flexed, 

 as shown in plate 95, a. The grave was oval-shaped, 40 inches long 

 by 24 inches wide and 6 inches deep. It was made on the floor of 

 the structure which enclosed it. Thirty-four inches east of this 

 burial an emgy pipe, shown in plate 105, #, was found. Its inten- 

 tional association with Burial No. 1 may be doubtful, but being so 

 near to the ground surface its position may have been disturbed.
