48 CERTAIN ABORIGINAL MOUNDS OF THE GEORGIA COAST. 



right. On this skeleton was a covering of wood or bark .25 of one inch thick, in 

 the last stage of decay. 



8. Skeleton of male, on back, head and knees to the right, 3 feet from surface. 

 Although the human remains in the Walker mound were, comparatively 



speaking, in good condition yet the cranium of this skeleton (A. N. S. Cat. No. 

 2,158) was the only one recovered in fair condition. 



9. Skeleton of female, fell with caved sand. Probably lay originally about 

 3 feet from the surface. 



10. Skeleton of female on back, 2 feet down. 



11. Skeleton of female, 3 feet from surface, disturbed by workmen, position 

 not determined. 



12. Skeleton of uncertain sex, somewhat on the right side. This skeleton, 

 coming from a portion of the mound but little above the level of the surrounding 

 field, was nevertheless 4 feet from the surface and lay at the base of a grave dug 

 into the yellowish sand of the field, and filled with the brownish sand of the mound.

13. Another grave containing a skeleton of a male on left side. This grave, 

 at the margin of the mound, showed a distinct line of demarcation from the sur- 

 rounding soil to a height of 26 inches from its base. Above this was a mass of 

 material 2 feet in thickness, similar to the contents of the mound at that place and 

 to that present in the grave. Through this material the line of the grave could not 

 be traced. The surface of the mound at this point was about level with the surface 

 of the field (Fig. 29). 



14. Another marginal grave containing a skeleton 4 feet from the surface. 

 This skeleton was too much affected by a fire which had been placed immediately 

 above it to permit determination of sex or position. With the bones were charcoal 

 and fifteen shell beads .5 to 1 inch in length. 



15. Skeleton of male with legs to the left and head pushed over on the chest, 

 3 feet from the surface. 



16. Portion of skeleton 1.5 feet down. The body, from the pelvis up, had 

 been removed by a previous investigation.
