Burial No. 1$. — North of stake 2.1 and 24 inches below the ground 

 surface there was found the burial of a partially flexed adult. The 

 body lay on the left side with face to the left and head to the south. 

 The preservation was poor. The midportion of the skeleton was cut 

 into by workmen before it was discovered. A large flint spear was 

 found under the head, with its point to the east. 



Burial No. 43. — At stake 2.1 and 20 inches below the ground surface 

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

 right side with face to the right and head to the west. 



Burial No. 44- — Near stake 2.2 and 24 inches below the ground 

 surface there was a partially flexed adult male burial. The head was 

 disarticulated and was placed face down over the left breast. The 

 body was partly on its back, with legs flexed inward so that the feet 

 were near together at the pelvis, but the legs were spread apart so 

 that the knees were at a maximum separation. This position may 

 be the result of a burial in a sitting posture. There were some shell 

 beads about the neck and a perforated slate problematical form with 

 sharpened edge was found at the pelvis. 



Burial No. 45. — Near stake 2.2 and at the feet of Burial No. 44 

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

 left side with head of body to the west. The head was dis- 

 articulated. 



Burial No. 46- — Northwest of stake 2.2 and 24 inches below the 

 present ground surface was a fully flexed adult male burial. The 

 body lay on the left side with face to the left and head to the east. 

 There was a flint point on left pelvis. 



Burial No. 47. — Southwest of stake 0.2 and 26 inches below the pres- 

 ent ground surface was the burial of a child, partially flexed. The 

 body lay on the left side, face to the left, with the head to the south. 



Burial No. 48- — Southwest of stake 2.2 at a depth of 32 inches there 

 was a disturbed burial of a child. The preservation was very poor. 

 The body lay on its back, face up and head to the west. The legs had 

 been previously disturbed. A decorated and perforated shell was 

 found at the right shoulder. Under this shell was a second worked 

 shell. There were shell beads about the neck of the skeleton, and a 

 large worked shell under the chin. Several pieces of sheet mica were 

 found to the right of the head. 



Burial No. 49. — Northeast of stake 3.2 and 26 inches below the pres- 

 ent ground surface was found an adult male burial. It was clear that 

 the body had been placed in a sitting posture in a pit. The knees 

 were elevated and the large leg bones were nearly in a vertical posi- 

 tion. The feet were drawn up close to the body. The head had fallen 

 forward, face downward, into the pelvic cavity, as is usual with this 

 type of burial. The spinal column and ribs had retained, for the
