Burial No. IS.— A collection of bone fragments, 14 inches above the 

 hardpan, indicated the presence of a burial. No skull was found. 



Burial No. 19. — Under four flat stones which were laid close to- 

 gether, edge to edge, a collection of fragmentary decayed bones was 

 found. The stones were 34 inches above the hardpan. 



Burial No. 20. — A few long-bcne fragments 14 inches above the 

 hardpan marked the location of a burial. A broken flint arrow point 

 was found in association. 



Burial No. 21. — Thirty-four inches above the hardpan two femora 

 and other bones were found. The skull was missing. 



Burial No. 22. — At 39 inches above the hardpan portions of a skull 

 and a few other bone fragments were found in association with a 

 broken arrow point. 



Burial No. 23. — The partially flexed burial of an adult, lying on the 

 right side with the head to the west, was found. The preservation, 

 although poor, was the best of any found in the mound. 



Except for the shell beads found around the neck of the skeleton in 

 Burial No. 7, and an arrow point found in Burial No. 20, the burials 

 seem to have been devoid of all artifacts. In the general digging a 

 small fragment of broken stone pipe was found. The earth of this 

 mound was a clean sandy clay, yellow in color. It contained no 

 potsherds or other evidence of having been gathered from a village 

 site. Seemingly the mound was erected out of "clean" clay gathered 

 from a natural source, and there was thus no refuse material incor- 

 porated in the mound. 



Mound No. 2 



Mound No. 2, the smaller of the two mounds on this site, was 30 

 feet in diameter and about 4 feet high at the center, as shown in 

 plate 124, b. The cultivated field in which the mound lay sloped 

 gently to the south, and erosion of this mound had taken place 

 chiefly in that direction. It was built of clean yellow sandy clay on 

 a humus layer which was fairly well defined and about 10 inches 

 thick. Other than burials, there were only two features which 

 required recording. 



Feature No. 1. — Feature No. 1, which is shown in plate 125, a, was 

 a cache of 11 flint arrow points, carefully packed between the two 

 halves of mussel shell. The arrow points were in perfect condition 

 but the shell was badly decayed and disintegrated when first touched 

 by the workman who found it. This cache was 8 inches above the 

 original hardpan surface and was southwest from stake 10.16. It 

 was seemingly a separate deposit in the mound and was not found 

 to be in any observable association with a burial. The arrow points
