inches below the present surface of the mound it had been partially 

 disturbed by a plow. The body had been buried with the head to 

 the north. 



Burial No. 7. — At stake 6.1 and 8 inches below the village floor 

 the partially flexed remains of an adult male was found. The body 

 had been laid on its back with the face up and the legs flexed to the 

 left. The head was toward the southeast. There was a flint point 

 near the left shoulder and three pieces of wood lay on and parallel 

 to the body. Another lay across the neck. This burial, together with 

 No. 4, was under a burned-clay floor, Feature No. 2. 



Burial No. 8. — East of stake 4.6 and 10 inches above the village 

 floor an adult burial in the flesh was discovered. The head was to 

 the right and the chin to the north. The body was found 10 inches 

 above the village floor. 



Burial No. 9. — East of stake 4.6 a fully flexed adult burial was 

 found fairly well preserved. The body had been placed on the right 

 side, the head to the north and the face to the right. Associated with 

 the burials were two small bowls placed some 3 inches below the 

 level of the body. Five inches to the west was a smooth flat limestone 

 hand hoe which was 6 inches in diameter. 



Burial No. 10. — West of stake 4.5 the partially flexed remains of 

 a child with head to the south was found. Clay below the remains 

 showed evidence of a woven mesh. There were traces of bark above 

 and below the remains. This bark had been used to line the grave 

 below the body, and had been laid in parallel strips longitudinally 

 over the body at time of burial. Its condition was much too poor 

 to permit removal, but the distinguishing pattern of bark was clearly 

 discernible. Three limestone hoes were found nearby, with one 

 unworked bear jaw. 



Burial No. 11. — West of stake 0.3 and 16 inches below the present 

 surface of the mound the remains of a fully flexed adult was found. 

 The head was to the west and the body lay on the right side with 

 face to the right. The preservation was poor. 



Burial No. 1%. — West of stake 4.5 and 23 inches below the village 

 floor a fully flexed adult burial was found. The body was on the 

 right side, with head to the north and the face to the right. The 

 preservation was poor. 



Burial No. 13. — West of stake 0.1 and 10 inches below the present 

 surface of the mound a fully flexed adult burial was found. The 

 body had been laid on the left side with the face to the left and the 

 head to the north. The preservation was fair. The body may have 

 suffered post-burial disturbance before the present excavation. 



Burial No. 11±. — Near stake 2.1 and 18 inches below present ground 

 surface the remains of a partially flexed adult female was found.
