In addition to what has already been described, the workmen 
found two graves further to the east and lower down on the hill- 
side. The first contained merely a skull and a few large leg 
bones, the interment being unlike the others. The skull rested 
face down on the other bones, the ends of which had apparently 
been gnawed by some carnivorous animal, the tooth marks being 
plainly visible. From these circumstances I think the bones may 
have been collected on the surface and buried as I found them. 
The skull, although too much decayed to be taken out except in 
small pieces, was fully twice as thick as the others, with the ridges 
largely developed. The marked anatomical differences and the 
burial, so unlike the others, there being no relics found, would 
indicate that this man belonged to another people. At any rate 
little respect seem to have been paid to his remains. 
The second grave contained nothing but the moldering skele- 
ton of an individual who had been buried facing the west. 
A few days after this I made another examination of this place, 
accompanied by a friend. At this time we found but one grave. 
It was a short distance west of the others, and similar to those 
already described, with the same lining of flat stones. The bones 
were at a depth of four feet, that being the deepest grave of any 
found. It was apparently an extended burial, the skull rested on 
a stone a little above the level of the body and faced the west. 
In this grave I found two shell beads and one hundred and 
eighty-nine arrow-heads; the latter were all of one type, leaf- 
shaped with truncated bases. They vary from one inch to two 
inches in length ; the material is chert or hornstone; and they are 
sharp and chisel-like at the base, with serrated edges and sharp 
points. These one hundred and eighty-nine arrow-points to a 
savage people meant far more than we are qualified to appreciate. 
It was so much wealth, so much food-producing material ren- 
dered unavailable. What a vivid picture this old grave and the 
decaying bones of its occupant give us of the poverty of these 
stone-age people.
