measurements : height, 11 inches ; diameter of mouth and maximum diameter of 

 body, each about 8.75 inches (Plate XV). 



Vessel 0. Immediately behind Vessel N, on its side, facing it, was an imper- 

 forate bowl intact, with complicated, stamped decoration (Plate XIV, Fig. 2). Ap- 

 proximate measurements : diameter of mouth, and maximum diameter of body, 

 each, 8.2 inches; height, 6 inches. No human remains were found in association, 

 within or without. 



Burial No. 74, 14 feet E. of N., skeleton of a dog. 



Burial No. 75, 11 feet S. of E., 4 feet 9 inches down in a pit shown in the 

 cross-section of the mound, a flexed skeleton of a child, head E. 



Burial No 76, 10 feet E., skeleton of a dog. 3 feet from the surface, at the 

 bottom of a small pocket, beneath a local shell layer. This small pit had been dug 

 through the shell layer, or through part of it, during its formation, as the pit had 

 been filled with shells from the layer. However, a layer of calcined human bones 

 (Burial No. 77) entirely intact, lay above the pit containing the dog, which was 

 therefore not an intrusive burial. 



Burial No. 77, 10 feet E., 6 inches from surface, a pocket of calcined human 

 bones, 5 inches thick, circular, with a diameter of about 7 inches. 



Burial No. 78, 11 feet E., 3 feet 8 inches from surface, in disturbed sand, 

 skeleton of a child, flexed on right side, head S. 



Burial No. 79, 18 feet N. E., 6 feet 9 inches from the surface, at the bottom of 

 a pit and let into the clear yellow sand, was the skeleton of a male, at full length, 

 face down, head N. W., with arms and forearms parallel to body. The cranium 

 was saved (A. N. S., Cat, No. 2,166). 



Burial No. 80, 11 feet E. by N., on the clear yellow sand on the slope of the 

 pit ending with Burial No. 79 was a skeleton in a sitting position leaning forward, 

 facing W.,head forced down to pelvis, right arm along body, forearm crossing above 

 pelvis, left arm along body, forearm forward at right angle. Thighs with legs 

 against them, parallel to body. 



Burial No. 81, 7 feet N. by W., 3 feet 8 inches down, just beneath the shell 

 layer, in disturbed yellow sand, probably part of a large grave, the exact boundaries 

 of which were not traceable, was a skeleton on right side, head N. W. A few 

 scattered bones of another body, probably disturbed by the burial of No. 81, lay about. 



Burial No. 82, Vessel P, in the central shell pocket, 3 feet W., 3 feet 6 inches 

 •down, crushed but held together by the shell, on its side, with a certain portion 

 missing, was an imperforate cord-marked pot of poor material, approximately 

 measuring 5.5 inches in height and 6 inches across its opening, where it had its 

 maximum diameter. In it were the bones of an infant, unaffected by fire. 



Burial No. 83, 8 feet E., nearly on the bottom of a pit, 3 feet from the surface, 

 was the skeleton of a female on left side, head S. W., very much twisted as shown 

 in Fig. 72. Beneath the cranium was the shell of a fresh-water mussel. 



Burial No. 84, 5 feet N. E., 3 feet 4 inches down in a pit the limits of which 

 were not determined, was the skeleton of a male, on the right side, head E.
