  Grave 
  XIII, 
  pit 
  22, 
  in 
  trench 
  3 
  at 
  45' 
  proved 
  to 
  be 
  the 
  grave 
  of 
  

   a 
  child 
  of 
  perhaps 
  6 
  years. 
  The 
  bones 
  were 
  fragile 
  and 
  broken 
  

   and 
  the 
  skull 
  was 
  crushed 
  by 
  the 
  weight 
  of 
  the 
  earth. 
  The 
  grave 
  

   bottom 
  was 
  28" 
  below 
  the 
  surface. 
  Before 
  the 
  face 
  was 
  a 
  pottery 
  

   vessel 
  of 
  Iroquoian 
  form. 
  The 
  rim 
  is 
  missing 
  from 
  an 
  ancient 
  

   breakage 
  and 
  the 
  pot 
  body 
  is 
  cracked. 
  Orientation 
  : 
  head

   face 
  east,

  flexed 
  position. 
  

  

  Grave 
  XIV, 
  pit 
  23, 
  in 
  trench 
  3 
  was 
  at 
  50' 
  on 
  the 
  west 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  

   trench. 
  This 
  pit 
  was 
  traced 
  down 
  by 
  the 
  disturbed 
  sand 
  in 
  which 
  

   were 
  lumps 
  of 
  topsoil, 
  charred 
  wood 
  and 
  fire-cracked 
  stone. 
  A 
  

   badly 
  decayed 
  skeleton 
  of 
  an 
  adult 
  female 
  lay 
  at 
  52" 
  below 
  the 
  sur- 
  

   face 
  in 
  the 
  clay 
  stratum. 
  To 
  the 
  rear 
  of 
  the 
  skull 
  was 
  a 
  pottery 
  

   vessel 
  having 
  an 
  ancient 
  rim 
  break. 
  The 
  three 
  missing 
  pieces 
  were 
  

   found 
  in 
  the 
  grave 
  soil 
  and 
  the 
  vessel 
  restored 
  [see 
  pi. 
  30, 
  fig. 
  4]. 
  

   An 
  examination 
  of 
  the 
  break 
  suggested 
  that 
  it 
  must 
  have 
  been 
  

   caused 
  by 
  a 
  stone 
  or 
  hard 
  lump 
  of 
  earth 
  when 
  the 
  grave 
  was 
  filled.

  east 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  

   trench. 
  It 
  contained 
  the 
  crumbling 
  skeleton 
  of 
  an 
  adult 
  lying 
  48" 
  

   below

  surface. 
  It 
  was 
  impossible 
  to 
  discover 
  the

  and 
  

   there 
  were 
  no 
  objects 
  in 
  the 
  grave.

  At 
  42" 
  

   from 
  the 
  surface 
  the 
  grave 
  bottom 
  was 
  found 
  and 
  in 
  it 
  a 
  deposit 
  of

  dust.
