  flexed 
  position 
  with 
  the 
  knees 
  drawn 
  up 
  close 
  to 
  the 
  chin. 
  The 
  

   larger 
  bones 
  were 
  in 
  a 
  fair 
  condition 
  but 
  the 
  smaller 
  ones 
  including 
  

   the 
  ribs 
  had 
  entirely 
  decayed. 
  At 
  the 
  occiput 
  was 
  a 
  clay 
  vessel 
  

   with 
  a 
  small 
  rim 
  break. 
  An 
  inch 
  from 
  the 
  skull 
  to 
  the 
  northwest 
  

   was 
  a 
  crumbling 
  - 
  turtle 
  carapace 
  with 
  4 
  perforations 
  [see 
  pi. 
  34, 
  fig. 
  

   11]. 
  A 
  flint 
  and 
  chunk 
  of 
  iron 
  lay 
  beneath 
  the 
  chin 
  as 
  if 
  they, 
  had 
  

   been 
  clutched 
  in 
  one 
  hand 
  and 
  a 
  small 
  celt 
  was 
  in 
  the 
  angle 
  formed 
  

   by 
  the 
  flexed 
  right 
  arm. 
  Four 
  triangular 
  arrowheads 
  lay 
  at 
  the 
  top 
  

   of 
  the 
  skull, 
  a 
  point 
  was 
  found 
  in 
  the 
  vertebrae 
  below 
  the 
  atlas 
  and 
  

   another 
  between 
  tlie 
  tibia 
  and 
  fibula 
  of 
  the 
  right 
  leg. 
  Field 
  measure- 
  

   ments 
  of 
  the 
  skull 
  gave 
  the 
  bizigomatic 
  length 
  4 
  1/16" 
  and 
  the 
  

   structural 
  hight 
  7 
  14/16", 
  the 
  distance 
  from 
  the 
  glabella 
  to 
  the 
  

   aveolar 
  border 
  of 
  the 
  superior 
  maxillary 
  3 
  9/32", 
  the 
  nasal 
  index 
  

   was 
  about 
  66.6 
  and 
  the 
  cephalic 
  index 
  64.3.

  Orientation: 
  head

  flexed. 
  

  

  Grave 
  LXXIII, 
  pit 
  118, 
  on 
  the 
  west 
  side 
  of 
  trench 
  15 
  at 
  82' 
  was 
  

   60" 
  wide, 
  72" 
  long 
  and 
  48" 
  deep. 
  It 
  contained 
  2 
  skeletons 
  one 
  of 
  

   which 
  was 
  badly 
  decayed. 
  The 
  conditions 
  seemed 
  to 
  indicate 
  that 
  

   the 
  graves 
  had 
  been 
  intruded 
  and 
  that 
  the 
  better 
  preserved 
  skeleton 
  

   was 
  more 
  recent. 
  The 
  older 
  skeleton 
  lay 
  with 
  the 
  skull 
  toward 
  the 
  

   southwest, 
  the 
  face 
  south-southeast 
  and 
  on 
  the 
  right 
  side. 
  The 
  

   better 
  preserved 
  skeleton 
  headed 
  northeast, 
  faced 
  southeast 
  and 
  lay 
  

   flexed 
  on 
  the 
  left 
  side. 
  

  

  Grave 
  LXXIV, 
  pit 
  119, 
  in 
  trench 
  17 
  on 
  the 
  east 
  side 
  at 
  the 
  

   beginning 
  was 
  36" 
  in 
  depth. 
  It 
  held 
  the 
  crumbling 
  remains 
  of 
  a 
  

   skeleton 
  and 
  a 
  broken 
  pot. 
  This 
  first 
  or 
  upper 
  grave 
  intruded 
  

   another 
  grave, 
  the 
  bottom 
  of 
  which 
  was 
  3" 
  lower. 
  Pot 
  F511 
  was 
  

   found 
  in 
  the 
  lower 
  grave. 
  In 
  both 
  cases 
  the 
  vessels 
  were 
  back 
  of 
  

   the 
  skulls. 
  Owing 
  to 
  the 
  condition 
  of 
  the 
  bones 
  it 
  was 
  impossible 
  to 
  

   determine 
  the 
  position 
  of 
  the 
  skeletons. 
  

  

  Grave 
  LXXV, 
  pit 
  120, 
  on 
  the 
  east 
  side 
  of 
  trench 
  17 
  at 
  17' 
  was 
  

   42" 
  deep 
  and 
  contained 
  the 
  remains 
  of 
  a 
  male. 
  The 
  grave 
  soil 
  

   from 
  the 
  top 
  to 
  30" 
  down 
  was 
  heavily 
  intermixed 
  with 
  carbonaceous 
  

   matter 
  and 
  ash. 
  At 
  30" 
  a 
  layer 
  of 
  clay 
  6" 
  thick 
  was 
  struck 
  and 
  

   beneath 
  it 
  the 
  skeleton. 
  At 
  a 
  point 
  midway 
  between 
  the 
  lower 
  jaw 
  

   and 
  knee 
  was 
  found 
  a 
  trumpet 
  pipe 
  of 
  the 
  flat 
  flaring; 
  rimmed 
  type, 
  

   F536 
  [pi. 
  31, 
  fig. 
  6]. 
  It 
  was 
  imbedded 
  in 
  a 
  cementlike 
  composition 
  

   of 
  ashes, 
  sand 
  and 
  gravel. 
  The 
  skull 
  lay 
  to 
  the 
  west, 
  the 
  face 
  south 
  

   and 
  the 
  skeleton 
  lay 
  flexed 
  on 
  the 
  right 
  side. 
  

  

  Grave 
  LXXVI, 
  pit 
  121, 
  on 
  the 
  west 
  side 
  of 
  trench 
  17 
  at 
  20' 
  was 
  

   42" 
  deep 
  and 
  contained 
  the 
  crumbling 
  remains 
  of 
  a 
  male 
  skeleton.
