  on 
  the

  central

  of 
  trench

  by 
  

   4' 
  in 
  top 
  dimensions 
  and 
  42" 
  deep.

  A 
  trench 
  parallel 
  to 
  trench 
  14. 
  was 
  run 
  on 
  the 
  east 
  side 
  but 
  70' 
  

   of 
  excavation 
  failed 
  to 
  reveal 
  any 
  trace 
  of 
  pits. 
  The 
  occupied 
  soil 
  

   was 
  light 
  and 
  in 
  places 
  there 
  was 
  hardly 
  a 
  trace 
  of 
  it. 
  

  

  Pit 
  148 
  was 
  in 
  the 
  broad 
  trench 
  7 
  on 
  the 
  east 
  slope. 
  It 
  was 
  

   probably 
  a 
  refuse 
  pit, 
  few 
  ashes 
  or 
  charcoal 
  being 
  found 
  within 
  it. 
  

   One 
  specimen, 
  a 
  small 
  bone 
  pestlelike 
  object, 
  was 
  found. 
  

  

  Pit 
  149 
  at 
  10' 
  in 
  trench 
  7 
  was 
  a 
  refuse 
  deposit 
  of 
  animal 
  bones. 
  

  

  Pit 
  150 
  at 
  15' 
  in 
  trench 
  7 
  was 
  an 
  ash 
  pit. 
  In 
  the 
  deposit 
  of 
  refuse 
  

   were 
  found, 
  1 
  bone 
  awl, 
  1 
  celt 
  butt, 
  2 
  arrow 
  points. 
  

  

  Record 
  of 
  the 
  graves 
  

  

  Grave 
  I, 
  pit 
  4, 
  was 
  discovered 
  at 
  the 
  commencement 
  of 
  trench 
  3. 
  

   When 
  the 
  top 
  soil 
  had 
  been 
  removed 
  an 
  area 
  of 
  disturbed 
  earth 
  

   48" 
  by 
  56" 
  was 
  found. 
  The 
  undisturbed 
  sand 
  surrounding 
  the 
  

   grave 
  top 
  was 
  a 
  rather 
  compact 
  gritty 
  sand 
  intermixed 
  with 
  small 
  

   pebbles. 
  Several 
  small 
  particles 
  of 
  charcoal 
  in 
  the 
  disturbed 
  earth 
  

   evidenced 
  a 
  disturbance 
  by 
  human 
  hands. 
  At 
  38" 
  from 
  the 
  top 
  

   a 
  crumbling 
  skull 
  was 
  uncovered 
  by 
  the 
  trowel. 
  The 
  superincum- 
  

   bent 
  earth 
  was 
  removed 
  and 
  the 
  remains 
  of 
  the 
  skeleton 
  exposed 
  

   and 
  photographed. 
  The 
  skeleton 
  was 
  in 
  an 
  advanced 
  state 
  of 
  decay 
  

   and 
  it 
  was 
  impossible 
  to 
  determine 
  the 
  sex 
  or 
  measure 
  any 
  of 
  the 
  

   bones. 
  A 
  perfect 
  pottery 
  vessel, 
  undecorated 
  and 
  of 
  the 
  old 
  square- 
  

   topped 
  Iroquois 
  form 
  was 
  found 
  15" 
  northeast 
  of 
  the 
  face. 
  It 
  was 
  

   upright 
  and 
  filled 
  solid 
  with 
  sand 
  [see 
  text 
  fig. 
  5, 
  also 
  pi. 
  27]. 
  

   Orientation 
  of 
  the 
  skeleton 
  : 
  head 
  south, 
  face 
  east, 
  right 
  side, 
  flexed 
  

   position 
  (apparently).
