Burial No. 3. — Thirty-eight inches above the original hardpan a few 

 decayed bone fragments, the residue of a skeleton which had nearly 

 disintegrated, were found. 



Burial No. If. — Twenty-four inches above the original hardpan 

 traces of a skeleton were distinguished by crumbling bones. 



Burial No. 5. — Thirty inches above the hardpan traces of large bone 

 fragments were found. 



Burial No. 6. — Fourteen inches below the surface of the mound a 

 very poorly preserved skeleton lay beneath a stump. A root 3 inches 

 in diameter had grown through the skull. 



Burial No. 7. — Fourteen inches below the mound surface the re- 

 mains of a skeleton were found. The preservation was so poor that 

 the disposition of the body could not be determined. The burial was 

 interpenetrated by a maze of roots. The bones were friable. Some 

 small shell beads were found about the neck of the skeleton. 



Burial No. 8. — A burial, indicated by decayed and fragmentary 

 bones of large size, was found 23 inches above the hardpan. 



Burial No. 9. — Thirty-eight inches above the hardpan a number of 

 fragmentary bones were found. Only the occipital bone could be 

 recognized. 



Burial No. 10. — Crumbling particles indicated the presence of a 

 burial. The skull could be recognized, but was badly disintegrated. 



Burial No. 11. — A few long-bone fragments and the decayed rem- 

 nants of a skull were found 14 inches above the hardpan. A hole in 

 the earth indicated the place of the head. 



Burial No. 12. — The long bones of a skeleton, found 12 inches above 

 the hardpan, indicated the presence of a burial. 



Burial No. 13. — A fully flexed skeleton was found 56 inches above 

 the hardpan. The body had been placed on the left side, with the 

 head to the south and the face to the west. The preservation of the 

 bones was sufficiently good to trace the skull, the spinal column, the 

 pelvis, the arms, and lower limbs. Plate 124, a, shows Mound No. 1, 

 with a vertical profile near the center. The stake lying on this verti- 

 cal wall points to a hole. This is the skull mold of Burial No. 13. 



Burial No. llf. — A collection of poorly preserved bone fragments 

 was found 64 inches above the hardpan. 



Burial No. 15. — Forty-eight inches above the hardpan the remains 

 of a skeleton were found. The long bones had disintegrated to 

 powder, but portions of the cranium were identified. 



Burial No. 16. — Fragmentary bones at a height of 32 inches above 

 the hardpan indicated the presence of a burial. 



Burial No. 17. — A poorly preserved skeleton was found 27 inches 

 above the hardpan. A skull and two tibia were recognizable.
