  ton 
  and 
  that 
  of 
  the 
  child 
  was 
  a 
  copper 
  bead 
  within 
  which 
  was 
  a 
  

   section 
  of 
  a 
  deerskin 
  thong 
  [pi. 
  37, 
  fig. 
  3]. 
  Upon 
  the 
  right 
  lower 
  

   arm 
  were 
  2 
  copper 
  bracelets 
  [see 
  pi. 
  37, 
  fig. 
  1, 
  2]. 
  The 
  copper 
  

   salts 
  which 
  had 
  been 
  released 
  by 
  natural 
  agencies 
  from 
  the 
  metal, 
  

   penetrating 
  the 
  substances 
  beneath 
  them 
  had 
  preserved 
  portions 
  

   of 
  flesh, 
  bone, 
  skin, 
  deerskin, 
  and 
  a 
  portion 
  of 
  a 
  bark 
  sheet 
  [see 
  

   pi. 
  37] 
  . 
  The 
  4 
  fingers 
  and 
  thumb 
  of 
  the 
  right 
  hand 
  were 
  incased 
  in 
  

   wide 
  rolled 
  brass 
  rings, 
  the 
  salts 
  of 
  which 
  had 
  preserved 
  the 
  animal 
  

   tissues 
  of 
  the 
  hand 
  [see 
  pi. 
  32, 
  fig. 
  5, 
  10]. 
  Beneath 
  this 
  hand 
  was 
  

   a 
  deposit 
  of 
  red 
  ocher. 
  The 
  third 
  skeleton 
  was 
  that 
  of 
  a 
  child 
  

   and 
  was 
  badly 
  decayed. 
  Above 
  the 
  remains 
  of 
  the 
  skull 
  was 
  a 
  

   large 
  pottery 
  vessel 
  [see 
  pi. 
  30, 
  fig. 
  5]. 
  A 
  fourth 
  skeleton 
  lay 
  at 
  

   the 
  south 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  grave. 
  It 
  was 
  fragmentary 
  and 
  minus 
  a 
  

   skull. 
  Near 
  the 
  pelvis 
  of 
  this 
  skeleton 
  and 
  near 
  the 
  knee 
  of 
  the 
  

   female 
  were 
  8 
  triangular 
  arrow 
  points. 
  Between 
  the 
  female 
  and 
  

   male 
  skeletons 
  and 
  below 
  the 
  second 
  infant 
  was 
  a 
  polished 
  bar 
  

   celt. 
  The 
  photograph 
  [pi. 
  12] 
  gives 
  the 
  details 
  of 
  the 
  grave. 
  

   Three 
  skeletons 
  headed 
  east 
  and 
  apparently 
  faced 
  the 
  south. 
  It 
  

   was 
  not 
  possible 
  to 
  determine 
  the 
  position 
  of 
  the 
  fourth 
  owing 
  to 
  

   its 
  condition.
