SMITHSONIAN EXPLORATIONS, IO,39 



Fig. 87. — The two sherds at the top are typical of the cord-marked, grit- 

 tempered variety prevailing at Patawomeke. The others, showing basketry 

 impressions and incised line decoration (shell-tempered), came from a deep 

 pit on the western side of the site. 



Fig. 88. — Careful excavation of the ossuary revealed individual bodies 

 arranged at right angles to one another in two layers. Note the completely 

 articulated hand on the far side. In the case of this skeleton also the lower 

 leg has been flexed forward unnaturally at the knee.
