58 CERTAIN ABORIGINAL MOUNDS OF THE GEORGIA COAST. 



Burial No. 38, skeleton of infant, crushed and partly calcined. Exact position 

 not determined. 



Burial No. 43, skeleton of male in semi-reclining position, head forward on 

 chest. 



Burial No. 90, skeleton of male, face down, and extended as far as the knees, 

 with legs drawn back and foot bones almost in contact with the pelvis. 



Burials Nos. 99 and 100, skeletons of child and of adolescent, crossing at hips, 

 the child on top. Both skeletons were extended to the knees with legs flexed back. 



Burial No. 101, skeleton of female with trunk on back, thighs drawn up toward 

 body but spread apart, with legs drawn back on thighs. 



Burial No. 139, skeleton of female on back with lower extremities flexed up 

 on body. 



Burial No. 153, female, same position as 101. 



Burial No. 154, skeleton of a male at full length, in water, 10 feet below sur- 

 face, the upper part crushed but showing no trace of fire. The thighs and lower 

 part of the arms with the hands were calcined. This burial might be included 

 among skeletons at length. 



Burial No. 158, skeleton of adolescent on back, the thighs partly flexed and 

 separated. 



Burial No. 160, a skeleton of uncertain sex in a semi-sitting position, head 

 over on chest. The cranium was saved (Acad. Nat. Sci., Cat. No. 2,163). 1 



Burial No. 168, skeleton of male on back as far down as could be determined, 

 the legs having fallen with caving sand. This skeleton was surrounded by a thin 

 layer of sand, colored red with powdered hematite. 



Burials Nos. 173 and 174, part of a skeleton of uncertain sex, face down 

 including the pelvis. At this point another skeleton, beginning with the cranium 

 and including about one-half of the thigh bones, continued in the same direction. 

 Then came thighs, legs and foot bones in anatomical order, probably belonging to 

 the first skeleton. These remains lay at a depth of 4 feet from the surface and 

 were unquestionably an aboriginal disturbance. 



Burial No. 177, a skeleton of a female, lying on back to the knees, with legs 

 flexed back on thighs. 



Burial No. 186, skeleton of female, trunk on back, thighs and legs flexed to 

 the right, 



Not included under the head of special positions, since both were flexed, were 

 burials Nos. 58 and 59, consisting of the skeleton of a female holding between its 

 arms the fragile remains of a very young infant. The crania were in contact. 



Of the 115 skeletons, 71 headed between S. E. and S. W., many crania point- 

 ing due S. 



The remaining 44, with the exception of a woman, a child and an infant which 

 are omitted from our field notes, headed as follows : E. S. E., 3 ; E. by S., 2 ; 



1 But one other cranium was in condition to preserve in this mound, namely that from Burial 

 No. 73, a male (Acad. Nat. Sci., Cat. 2,162).
